- Why
Why Grout Gets Dirty Faster Than Tile
Tile itself is a hard, sealed surface, but grout is porous. It absorbs dirt, grease and moisture in a way tile doesn’t, which is why grout lines often look grey or discoloured even when the tiles around them still look fine. A mop and household cleaner can lift surface dirt off the tile, but rarely reaches what’s settled into the grout itself.
Crystal Clean Carpet & Tiles has been restoring tile and grout across Melbourne homes and businesses since 2007, using hot water extraction to reach what a standard mop can’t.

- The Process
How We Clean Your Tile & Grout
Grout cleaning depends on getting product and agitation into the grout lines themselves, not just across the tile surface, which is why our process pairs manual work with hot water extraction.
01
Floor identification
We assess the type, condition and size of the tile and grout before deciding on the right approach.
02
Prepare the area
Light furniture is removed if required, the floor is swept or vacuumed to remove loose dirt and debris, and corner protectors are installed on walls, skirting boards and exposed corners to prevent damage during cleaning.
03
Apply pre-spray
A professional, high-quality cleaning solution is applied evenly by sprayer or mop and left to dwell for five to ten minutes, following the product instructions.
04
Agitate the surface
The tile and grout is scrubbed with a grout brush to loosen embedded soil and grease.
05
Hot water extraction
A truckmounted or portable unit, connected to an industrial-strength rotor brush or spinner tool, combines hot water with powerful vacuum to lift dirt and cleaning solution directly out of the tile and grout.
06
Detail edges and corners
Areas the spinner can't reach are cleaned by hand using a hand tool or grout brush.
07
Rinse and extract
All cleaning solution and residue is thoroughly removed, leaving the floor as dry as possible.
08
Inspect the results
We check for any remaining stains or heavily soiled areas that need additional treatment.
Why Do DIY Grout Cleaners Often Fail?
Most off-the-shelf grout cleaners rely on you scrubbing by hand, which struggles to shift grease and grime that’s worked its way deep into porous grout over months or years. They also don’t extract the dirty solution back out afterwards, so a portion of what you’ve just loosened can settle right back into the grout as it dries. Our process pairs agitation with hot water extraction, so loosened dirt is actually removed rather than just redistributed.
Can Discoloured Grout Be Restored, or Does It Need Replacing?
In most cases, discoloured grout can be significantly restored through a proper deep clean rather than needing replacement. Genuine staining sitting in the grout, as opposed to permanent wear, damage or missing grout, generally responds well to hot water extraction. Our technician will give you an honest assessment during inspection of what’s realistically achievable before any work begins.
Should Grout Be Sealed After Cleaning?
Sealing helps grout resist future staining and moisture absorption by reducing its porosity after a deep clean. It isn’t always required, and whether it’s worthwhile depends on the grout’s age, condition and location, such as a high-moisture area like a bathroom versus a low-traffic hallway. Your technician can talk you through whether sealing makes sense for your specific floor.
What Products Do We Use on Tile & Grout?
We use biodegradable, non-toxic cleaning solutions, so there’s no harmful residue left on floors your family walks on barefoot every day. As with all our services, we use premium-grade products rather than cheaper alternatives, because effective grout cleaning depends on a solution strong enough to lift embedded grime without damaging the grout itself.

- Pricing
How Much Does Tile & Grout Cleaning Cost in Melbourne?
Tile and grout cleaning costs depend on the size of the area, the condition of the grout, and whether sealing is required afterwards. A small bathroom floor is a different job to an entire kitchen and hallway, so we assess before quoting rather than charging a flat rate, no obligation, no guesswork.
- Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does tile and grout take to dry after cleaning?
Most tile and grout floors are dry within a few hours, though this depends on ventilation and whether sealing is applied afterwards, which requires its own curing time.
Do you clean grout in showers and wet areas, or only floors?
Yes, our process applies to shower recesses and other wet area tile and grout, not just floors, with adjustments made for vertical surfaces where needed.
Will hot water extraction damage older or cracked tiles?
Our technician assesses the tile and grout condition during the initial inspection and adjusts pressure and technique accordingly, so older or more delicate tile can still be cleaned safely.
What if there's mould in the grout as well as staining?
If mould is present alongside general grime, let us know when booking. In some cases this may be paired with our dedicated odour removal service for a more complete result.
Do you offer a guarantee on tile and grout cleaning?
Yes, tile and grout cleaning is backed by our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.
