Overview
Clean tile can still look dirty. The grout is usually why.
Grout is porous. Over time it absorbs soil, moisture and cleaning residue, which darkens the lines between tiles and makes an otherwise clean floor look dirty. The tile surface itself can hold a film of residue and buildup.
METIS deep-cleans tile and grout using the right chemistry and mechanical agitation for the tile and its condition, then extracts the soil so it doesn’t settle back in. We’ll also tell you honestly what to expect: some staining and worn grout can’t be fully reversed by cleaning.
What deep cleaning targets
- Embedded soil in grout lines
- Discoloration and darkening
- Hazy film and residue on tile
- Buildup along edges and corners
- Grime in restrooms, entries and kitchens
Signs it’s time
Signs your tile and grout need deep cleaning
- Grout lines that look dark or discolored
- Floors that look dirty right after mopping
- A sticky or hazy film on the tile surface
- Grimy edges and corners
- Restroom or entry floors that never look clean
- Uneven color from one area of grout to another
How METIS does it
A methodical approach to tile and grout.
01
Assess tile and grout
We identify the tile type, check grout condition and note any areas of concern.
02
Pre-treat
Appropriate cleaner is applied to soiled areas and given time to work.
03
Agitate
Mechanical agitation and hand detailing lift soil out of grout lines and corners.
04
Extract and rinse
Soil and solution are removed, so what was lifted doesn’t settle back into the grout.
05
Inspect
We review the floor, address missed spots and explain the result.
06
Maintain
We recommend a maintenance approach so the floor doesn’t return to where it started.
Straight talk
We’ll tell you what to expect.
Cleaning can remove soil and buildup. It can’t repair cracked, missing or deteriorated grout, and it can’t reverse every stain. After assessing your floors, we’ll explain what results are realistic before work begins.

Questions
Common questions
Can dirty grout really be restored?
Often, yes. Soil and buildup can be removed with the right process. Permanent staining or damaged grout may limit results. We’ll explain what’s realistic after assessing your floors.
Do you clean restroom tile and grout?
Yes. Restroom floors are one of the most common places grout gets dirty. See our restroom deep sanitation service for detail-focused restroom work.
How often should tile and grout be deep cleaned?
It depends on traffic, moisture and how the floor is maintained. We’ll recommend a schedule that fits your facility.
