Stain Lifters cleans and seals tile and grout for homes and businesses in Winter Garden, Orlando and across West Orange County. Our truck-mounted system gets grout lines back to their original color, with pricing starting at 60¢ per square foot and optional sealing to keep them clean.

Why grout gets so dirty

Tile itself is tough and easy to wipe. Grout is a different story. It’s porous, like a hard sponge, so every time you mop, dirty water and soap settle into the grout lines. Over the years that builds up into the dark, dingy lines you can’t scrub out on your hands and knees.

Regular mopping can actually make it worse, because it spreads a thin layer of dirt into the grout each time. That’s why grout that was light gray or white at install often looks dark brown a few years later.

Our tile and grout cleaning process

  1. Inspect and quote. We look at your tile type, the grout condition, and any problem spots, then confirm your price before starting.
  2. Apply cleaner to the grout. We apply an alkaline cleaner that loosens embedded dirt and grease and is safe on natural stone.
  3. Agitate the grout lines.
  4. High-pressure rinse and extraction. Our truck-mounted system rinses the tile and grout with hot water and pulls the dirty water straight back out, so it doesn’t just get pushed around the floor.
  5. Optional sealing. Once clean, we can seal your grout so it resists stains and stays cleaner, longer.

Where we clean tile

Most of our tile work is on floors — kitchens, bathrooms, entryways, laundry rooms, and whole-house tile, which is common across Central Florida homes.

How much does tile and grout cleaning cost?

Tile and grout cleaning starts at 60¢ per square foot. Grout sealing starts at 50¢ per square foot. Every job has a $150 minimum, and you can combine services to reach it.

The price depends on:

  • Total square footage
  • How dirty the grout is and how long since it was last cleaned
  • Tile type (ceramic, porcelain, or natural stone)
  • Whether you add sealing

You’ll know the exact price before we begin, and it won’t change at the end of the job.

How to prepare

  • Clear small items, rugs, and mats off the tile.
  • Move anything fragile from low shelves and floors.
  • Let us know about any cracked tiles or loose grout before we start.
  • Keep kids and pets off the floor until it’s dry, and follow our instructions for sealed grout.

Straight answers

Tile & Grout Cleaning: common questions

Can dirty grout really look new again?

In most cases, yes. Grout is porous, so it absorbs dirt, grease and mop water over the years. A deep professional cleaning pulls that out of the pores. One of our customers had 36-year-old grout that looked brand new afterward. Grout that is cracked, crumbling, or stained all the way through may need repair or a color treatment instead. We don't offer grout repair or color restoration, so we'll tell you up front if cleaning won't get the result you want.

Should I seal my grout after cleaning?

Sealing is optional, but we recommend it. Clean grout is at its most absorbent, and a sealer helps it resist stains and stay clean longer.

Will tile cleaning damage my floor?

No. We clean and seal tile and grout without damaging your floor. We clean ceramic, porcelain and travertine. We don't clean marble.

Do you clean shower tile and bathroom walls?

No. We clean tile floors only, not shower walls, tub surrounds or backsplashes.

How long does tile and grout cleaning take?

An average kitchen takes about an hour or less. Tile floors can usually be walked on soon after cleaning; sealed grout needs a little longer to cure.
