Our Tile and Grout Restoration Process

At United Trade Links, we don’t just clean tiles – we restore them to their former glory. Our meticulous process ensures that every nook and cranny is treated, leaving your surfaces looking fresh and inviting. Here’s how we do it:

1. Pre-treat the tiles and grout: This step involves using an alkaline-based degreasing solution to mop the tiles and grout. The solution helps break down and loosen soil, grease, and contaminants that have accumulated on the surface and within the grout lines. Allowing the solution to sit for about 15 minutes gives it time to effectively penetrate and weaken the bonds between the dirt and the surfaces.
2. Power scrub with surrogated brushes: After the pre-treatment, surrogated brushes are used with a power scrubbing machine. These brushes agitate the grout lines and tile surfaces, mechanically loosening and dislodging the remaining dirt and debris. This step is particularly effective in reaching into the grout lines and textured tile surfaces that may be difficult to clean with regular mopping.
3. Extract/turbo power rinse: High-pressure hot water is injected onto the surfaces and immediately extracted using a powerful vacuum system. This process helps remove the loosened dirt, grease, and cleaning solution residue. The combination of high-pressure water and extraction ensures that the contaminants are lifted away from the surface and captured, leaving the tiles and grout much cleaner.
4. Acid wash for stubborn stains: In cases where there are stubborn stains that haven’t been fully removed by the previous steps, an acid wash may be used. Acidic solutions can help break down mineral deposits, rust stains, and other tough stains that are not easily removed by alkaline solutions. This step requires careful handling, as acids can be corrosive and should only be used on appropriate surfaces.
5. Grout and tile resealing: Once the tiles and grout are thoroughly cleaned, resealing may be done. This involves applying a new layer of sealant to the grout lines and tile surfaces. Sealant helps protect the grout from absorbing dirt, liquids, and stains, making it easier to clean and maintaining its appearance over time.
6. Silicone sealing: Similar to grout resealing, silicone sealing involves applying a protective sealant to the silicone joints around the edges of tiles, such as in showers or areas where tiles meet other surfaces. This prevents water infiltration and mold growth in these vulnerable areas.
7. Specialized removal: This step refers to the specialized removal of certain substances like tough stains, coatings, or residues that may require specific techniques or products tailored to the particular issue.
8. Mould and Mildew removal: This step involves using appropriate cleaning agents to eliminate and prevent the growth of mold and mildew, especially in damp areas.
9. Anti-slip treatments: If required, anti-slip treatments can be applied to the tiles to enhance safety, particularly in areas prone to becoming slippery when wet.
10. Efflorescence removal: Efflorescence is the white powdery residue that can appear on the surface of tiles and grout due to mineral deposits. Special treatments can be used to remove these deposits.
11. Grout Haze removal: Grout haze is a cloudy residue left on the tiles after grouting. This step involves removing that residue to reveal the clean tile surface.
12. Rust stains removal: For rust stains, specific treatments can be employed to dissolve and remove the rust without damaging the tiles.
13. Hard Water deposits removal: Hard water deposits can leave unsightly spots on tiles. Specialized products are used to dissolve and remove these mineral deposits.
14. Calcium Buildup removal: Similar to hard water deposits, calcium buildup can be removed using appropriate cleaning agents.
15. Turbo deep hygiene clean: This step involves using advanced tile cleaning equipment to perform a thorough and deep cleaning of the tiles and grout, ensuring hygiene and cleanliness.
16. Treatment with unique cleaning products: Depending on the specific needs, a range of specialized cleaning products may be applied to address particular issues or enhance the overall cleaning effect.
17. Assessment and repair: The final step involves assessing the condition of the grout and tiles. If any damage is found, the damaged grout or tiles can be replaced or repaired to restore the appearance and functionality of the surface.

Each of these steps plays a crucial role in achieving a thorough and effective tile and grout cleaning process, tailored to the specific needs of the surfaces being treated.
