Before and After: Dramatic Transformations

Grout Restoration Guide

Moderate Staining:

  • Requires intensive professional cleaning with specialized pre-treatments
  • Often adds optional clear grout sealing to prevent future discoloration

Severe/Permanent Staining:

  • Combines thorough professional cleaning with color sealing application
  • Creates uniform, sealed grout lines with consistent color
  • Allows changing grout color if desired (lighter or darker)
  • Provides superior stain resistance for future protection

What Our Sioux City Customers Say

Jennifer M., Morningside

I was convinced I needed to replace our tile floors until Allied worked their magic. The difference in our kitchen floor is absolutely incredible—the tile looks brand new, and the grout lines went from black to their original light gray. Their team was professional, thorough, and worth every penny.

Robert T., Northside

After 7 years with three kids and a dog, our hardwood floors were looking dull and dirty despite regular cleaning. Allied's wood floor cleaning process brought back the beautiful shine without damaging the finish. I was amazed that they could make such a difference without refinishing.

Linda K., Riverside

The marble floors in our entryway had lost their luster and had some etching from cleaning with the wrong products. Allied's stone restoration team not only cleaned them properly but also removed the etching and brought back the beautiful polish. Their knowledge about different stone types was impressive.

Frequently Asked Questions About Floor & Tile Cleaning

You've got questions, we've got the answers!

How is professional tile cleaning different from regular mopping?

Regular mopping only cleans the surface and often leaves behind cleaning residue that actually attracts more dirt. Our professional process uses high-temperature cleaning solutions, specialized equipment with 800-1500 PSI of pressure, and powerful extraction that removes dirt from deep within tile and grout. This combination removes embedded grime that mopping alone cannot touch, while our truck-mounted equipment extracts both the dirt and cleaning solutions completely.

How long does professional floor cleaning take to dry?

Most hard surface floors dry within 1-2 hours after our cleaning process. Factors affecting drying time include room temperature, humidity levels, air circulation, and the specific flooring material. Our powerful extraction equipment removes up to 95% of moisture, dramatically reducing drying time. We also use high-velocity air movers when needed to accelerate drying in humid conditions.

Is your cleaning process safe for all floor types?

Yes, but we customize our approach for each specific flooring material. We use different equipment settings, cleaning solutions, and techniques based on whether we're cleaning ceramic tile, natural stone, hardwood, or vinyl surfaces. Our technicians are trained to identify your exact flooring type and select the appropriate cleaning methods that will be effective without causing damage.

Does grout sealing really make a difference?

Absolutely. Grout is highly porous and readily absorbs spills, dirt, and bacteria without proper sealing. Our professional grout sealing creates an invisible barrier that prevents staining agents from penetrating the grout while making regular maintenance significantly easier. Sealed grout stays cleaner longer and is more resistant to mold and mildew growth. We recommend resealing every 1-3 years depending on traffic and exposure.

Can you remove stubborn stains from grout?

In most cases, yes. Our professional cleaning process removes the majority of stains, even those that have been present for years. However, some stains may be permanent if they've chemically altered the grout. For these situations, we offer color sealing services that not only create a uniform appearance but also seal the grout against future staining.

Is professional cleaning safe for my hardwood floors?

Our specialized wood floor cleaning system is specifically designed to be safe for hardwood floors. We use minimal moisture, appropriate cleaning agents for your specific finish type, and equipment that won't damage the wood surface. Unlike DIY steam cleaners or excessive water mopping that can damage wood, our controlled process effectively cleans without risking your valuable floors.

How often should I have my tile and grout professionally cleaned?

For most Sioux City homes, we recommend professional tile and grout cleaning every 12-18 months. Homes with children, pets, or high traffic areas benefit from more frequent cleaning every 6-12 months. Kitchens and bathrooms typically need attention more often than living areas. Regular professional cleaning not only improves appearance but also extends the life of your floors by removing abrasive soil and preventing grout deterioration.

Do you guarantee your floor cleaning services?

Yes! We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you're not completely satisfied with our results, we'll return and re-clean any areas of concern at no additional charge when notified within 7 days of service.
