Have you used "Renu Carpet and Tile Cleaning" or "Sure Clean Solutions" for tile and grout cleaning? These are the two companies I am considering hiring to clean all our tile and grout inside our home.

Thanks you in advance for your recommendations.

Sure Clean did not do a good job. I just had tile and grout cleaned by Grout Smith and I give them 5 stars. Neighbors saw my my floors, hired them and everyone is happy.

OP, the next step will be to seal the grout, you may want to look into a company that does both. Sorry I cannot recommend any as I did this myself.

I read the reviews about The Groutsmith on their website. One reviewer said "everything was done by hand". The other two companies I mentioned in my OP both use a machine to clean the tile and the grout at the same time. My sister had a company clean her tile and grout with the machine and she said that what was left on the tile was "grit" which she had to clean after the job was completed. I'm not looking to have to "clean" up grit so I'm not so sure I want a company to use any sort of machine on my tile flooring.

Did The Groutsmith clean your tile and grout by hand or did they use a machine? Thanks for your recommendation.

How long does the sealing of the grout usually last?

GroutSmith has a 10 year guarantee. They thoroughly scrubbed the tile and grout. Then painted the grout to match the original colr and then sealed the grout.

So....GroutSmith does not use a machine to clean the tile and grout but scrub it by hand? Very interesting that they "paint" the grout. Is that because the grout does not come completely clean? Is it possible to paint the grout a different color than the original grout? Did you find that there was "grit" left on the tile after the job was completed?

Sorry for all the questions.

No grit. Our grout was 9 years old with multiple dogs walking through the house. I wanted the original color because it was a good match to our tile.

The installers of tile in my new home left a nightmare of a mess , brand new home and the floor looked like it was 10 years old , a half a dozen companies passed on the job until I found sure clean , he wasn’t sure he could get it all clean but he did and it was a very tough job , they are great

Used Sure Clean a couple of years ago and couldn't tell any difference after they left. Won't use them again. Will look into Groutsmith. Another company a neighbor used for cleaning, painting & sealing grout is All about Grout.

Can you tell us what product you used to seal the grout ? Where you purchased it ? Thank you

we used Sure Clean Solutions to color / stain the grout in our tile, and have used them annually to clean our tile, and they also touch up any stained grout that may have faded or worn...

I had Sure Clean around five years ago. Was satisfied with their machine cleaning and the fact that they moved the refrigerator out and cleaned behind it, I think the washer and dryer too, plus cleaned the dryer vent. I believe they used a steam cleaner on the tile.

The clear "grout sealing" didn't last more than a couple weeks. Some stains just don't want to come out of grout. The grout needed to be painted, which happened when DH applied the paint that Village Tinker recommended, "Groutshield," which is mail ordered from groutshield.com I got the name of the grout color from our contract to build the house, "Mapei Biscuit." The warranty office should have it the names of all the grout colors used on the houses originally.

Do not use Sure Clean. They did a terrible job and didn’t live up to their contract. And the workers took advantage of my sick wife and stole checks. Luckily the bank didn’t cash them and called us .

[golfnut]

All About Grout stains the grout and then seals it, NOT PAINT. They did a wonderful job.

SureClean did an outstanding job for us, we couldn’t be happier. They did paint the grout to match the original color.

We used Chem Dry. They had done a beautiful job on our carpeting so I tried them for the tile and I wasn't disappointed. The tile and grout looked like new. We had many companies clean it but none with the same success as Chem Dry.

We used GroutSmith for our shower, bathroom floor and kitchen. First class job and followup (to make sure we were satisfied). Top recommendation.
