Surface grime & soap scum
Built-up residue on tiles and in grout lines responds well to professional cleaning.
We use commercial-grade equipment and specialist products to clean where regular mopping can’t reach. Results depend on your tiles, grout age, and staining – we’ll give you an honest assessment before we start.
Over time, grout absorbs dirt, soap residue, and moisture – and household cleaning products aren’t strong enough to shift it. Mercedes Cleaning uses professional rotary scrubbing and hot water extraction to lift the build-up that regular cleaning leaves behind. We won’t promise a complete transformation on every job, but we will tell you honestly what’s achievable and make sure you’re happy before we
leave.

Built-up residue on tiles and in grout lines responds well to professional cleaning.
We can often lighten grout that’s darkened from dirt. Very old or damaged grout may need re-grouting instead.
We treat surface mould effectively. Deep or structural mould may require additional work beyond cleaning.
What we can’t do: We can’t restore cracked, crumbling, or missing grout - that’s a repair job, not a cleaning one. We’ll let you know if we spot anything like that.
We assess first, clean with the right equipment, then walk you through the result - including what didn’t come up and why.
Before any cleaning starts, we assess the tiles, grout condition, and staining. If something isn’t cleanable, we’ll tell you upfront.
We apply appropriate cleaning agents to loosen dirt, grease, and residue. Product choice depends on your tile type and the staining involved.
Commercial equipment works the grout lines and tile surface, then hot water extraction removes the loosened grime.
We rinse the area and walk you through the result. If something didn’t come up as expected, we’ll explain why.

Straight answers - no overpromising.
It depends. Cleaning removes dirt and residue that’s built up over time, so grout often looks noticeably lighter. But if grout has been stained for years or is simply old and worn, cleaning won’t make it look brand new — and we won’t pretend it will.
A typical bathroom or kitchen takes 1–3 hours. Larger or heavily soiled areas take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe before we begin.
Tiles are usually dry enough to walk on within a couple of hours.
We can effectively treat surface mould. Mould that has penetrated deep into porous or damaged grout may not fully clear with cleaning alone — in some cases, re-grouting is the right solution. We’ll be upfront if that’s what we find.
We adjust our approach based on the tile material. Delicate surfaces like natural stone need different products and pressure settings than ceramic or porcelain. We’ll check before we start.
The products we use are safe once dry. We’ll ask you to keep children and pets out of the area while we work and during the drying period.
Tell us about your space. We’ll assess what’s achievable, quote clearly, and leave you with tiles and grout that are genuinely cleaner - not oversold.
