Tile and grout. Two completely different materials that work harmoniously to create beautiful, practical, watertight surfaces. Stone and ceramic tiles are nonporous, so they don't soak up liquids or absorb smells. They are easy to clean and are the natural choice for areas with high humidity or where sanitation is an issue. The spaces between ceramic and stone tiles installed in commercial and residential spaces are filled with grout, which can be left in its natural state or it can be colored to compliment the color of the tiles.
Grout, in contrast to tile, is porous, and will begin to crumble, crack and discolor over time if not treated properly. Grout problems can lead to loose tiles and leakage. In addition, once grout lines begin to show signs of age and neglect, the whole surface takes on an unattractive appearance. You may get used to it, but it discolored and cracking grout will turn off potential renters or buyers. But not to worry. Sunbird Cleaning Services provides a rich offering of services that cleans, disinfects and returns the beauty and shine to tiled surfaces.

Grout Treatment
Grout issues, such as removing mold from grout, re-grouting and grout repair takes a little longer. The grout must be carefully scrubbed and, in some cases, might need to be removed in order to fix the problem. Once the issue has been handled, your Sunbird Cleaning Services representative will apply a sealer, which will enhance the overall performance of your grout.
In spaces that do not require special grout treatment, the Sunbird Cleaning Services crew starts the job by applying a pre-treatment to the tiles in order to soften lime, scum and bacterial build up and make it easier to remove. Then, they apply high pressure steam to remove all dirt, grime and debris. Industrial strength vacuuming action sucks away all the residue through watertight tubing attached to a trash receptacle. In most cases, the crew will use truck mounted steam cleaning equipment, though in smaller areas they may opt for high power handheld equipment.
