Grout is porous, sits below the tile surface, and holds everything a mop pushes into it. The fix is pressure and heat, contained and recovered in the same second.

DeepSteam.ca cleans tile and grout with a truck-mounted spinner tool: hot water at high pressure inside a sealed shroud, flushing the grout lines and lifting the dirty water back to the van at once. Floors are pre-treated with an alkaline cleaner to loosen grease and soil, then rinsed. The result is grout back to its real colour and tile without the film a mop leaves behind, with no standing water in the room.

## Why does mopping make grout look worse over time?

A mop cleans the tile face and pushes dirty water into the grout line, which is lower and porous. The water evaporates and the soil stays. Repeat for a few years and light grout turns grey or brown in the traffic path while staying clean along the walls. That colour difference is the signature of a floor that has only ever been mopped. Pressure with immediate recovery reverses it because the soil is pulled out of the grout rather than into it.

## Which floors can be cleaned this way?

Hard surfaces and whether truck-mounted hot water extraction suits them SurfaceSuitableNotes Ceramic and porcelain tile with cement groutYesThe ideal case. Kitchens, bathrooms, entries, hallways, commercial washrooms. Natural stone (slate, travertine, marble)Case by caseNeeds neutral chemistry and lower pressure. Polished marble and etched stone are assessed first. Epoxy groutYesNon-porous; cleans easily and usually only needs the surface film removed. Vinyl plank, laminate, sealed hardwoodNoNot a hot water extraction job. Ask about alternatives if you have these. Sealed concrete and garage floorsOftenAssessed for sealer condition and drainage first.

## Should grout be sealed after cleaning?

Cement grout is porous and will re-soil faster if left bare. Sealing after a deep clean slows that down and makes the next clean easier. Ask when booking; it is done once the grout is fully dry.
