Tile and Grout Cleaning in Austin, TX

A tile floor that looks worn is usually a grout problem rather than a tile problem. Tile itself barely wears at all; grout is porous, absorbs everything that touches it, and darkens over years until the whole floor reads dirty even though the tile is fine.

Cleaning and sealing the grout frequently makes a floor look new again for a fraction of the cost of replacement. Where grout has actually failed rather than just discoloured, it can be raked out and replaced without touching the tile at all.

Hardline Surface Co. cleans across Austin, TX and will tell you honestly whether you have a cleaning job or a replacement job, because they cost very different amounts and the difference is not always visible.

Sealed grout stays clean far longer. Most grout is never sealed after installation, which is exactly why it darkens in the first place.

Tile And Grout Cleaning FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Tile and Grout Cleaning

Questions we hear most often about Tile and Grout Cleaning in Austin, TX.

Talk to a real person
What wear layer do I need for luxury vinyl plank?
12 mil for bedrooms and low traffic, 20 mil for pets, children and entry halls. Total plank thickness is not the number that matters, and a thick plank with a thin wear layer scratches within a year.
Can laminate go in a bathroom?
No. The fibreboard core swells permanently once water reaches it, and swollen laminate can only be replaced, not dried or repaired. Use sheet vinyl, waterproof LVP or tile instead.
Porcelain or ceramic, which should I choose?
Porcelain absorbs under 0.5% water and suits wet areas, exteriors and freeze-prone spaces. Ceramic costs less and is perfectly good for dry indoor floors, walls and backsplashes.
Is water-resistant the same as waterproof?
No. Water-resistant survives a spill wiped up quickly. Waterproof survives a supply line failing overnight. Only one of those is what a bathroom or laundry floor actually faces.
What is the PEI rating and why does it matter?
It rates a tile's surface wear resistance. PEI 1 and 2 are wall tiles, and putting one on a floor wears the glaze through. It is a common and completely avoidable mistake.
