Deep Cleaning Porcelain Tiles
In order to get the dirt out of the tiles they were cleaned with a very mild hot water dilution of Tile Doctor Pro-Clean which was spread over the tiles and left to soak into the tiles for twenty minutes, during this time the solution was scrubbed into the grout lines using a stiff brush.
Next was to connect up our van mounted high pressure hot water clean and capture system (see photo below) and rinse the tiles and grout. This system produces very little water or spray because of its unique recovery system to a waste tank in our van. It also neutralizes cleaning solutions and the high pressure penetrates into the pores of the tile removing all the soiling and pollutants.
Grout Colorant Application
The powerful pressure cleaning worked well on the tiles but unluckily the grout lines had absorbed too much soiling and staining over the years which had become ingrained to a depth which could not be removed without replacing the grout. Favorably there was another option which was to apply a Grout Colorant. Tile Doctor has a range of epoxy based colorants available in different colors which are relatively easy to apply and form a barrier over the existing grout to provide a uniform look and durable protection against future staining and discoloration
The floor was ready for surface traffic in a few hours and I think you will agree the final result has restored this dirty and tired floor to a fresh, revitalized as new finish
My client was very ecstatic with the results and left the following testimonial:
“Hi Tim, Many thanks for the amazing results you achieved with my Kitchen/Conservatory floor, I was blown away by the finish – it looks like new! Thank you for care instructions, we will make every effort to follow carefully. Best wishes and thank you again.” - Ms. J Walker
