Tile & Grout Cleaning in Downtown Augusta, GA
A lot of Downtown Augusta housing has been standing a long time, and the tile in these older places has seen decades of feet. The floor itself often holds up fine. It's the grout that has quietly gone dark.
Down along the Broad Street district and back through Laney-Walker, plenty of the homes and converted spaces have original tile floors that predate anyone living in them now. Old grout is even more porous than new grout, so it has had years to soak up soil, and by now the lines can read a shade or two darker than the tile they surround.
Mopping an old floor like that does not fix it. The mop drags the loosened dirt across the surface and presses some of it deeper into the grout, which is why the floor looks tired again so soon. We put a rotary floor machine on it, work a cleaning solution down into the joints, scrub the soil loose, and rinse and mop the residue off.
When a downtown floor has faded so far the original grout color is simply gone, color restoration puts the tone back rather than leaving you with dingy lines. It all comes with our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.
Original tile floors in older downtown homes
The tile in a lot of these places was laid decades ago and the grout has never had a real deep clean. That old, extra-porous grout holds soil the way nothing else in the house does. We scrub it line by line so a floor that looked permanently grubby comes back closer to how it started.
Grout haze and film left on tile
Older downtown properties get worked on, and tile that's been through repairs or a remodel often keeps a dull film or leftover haze across the surface. We can clear that grit off the tile and get the grout scrubbed out in the same visit so the floor finally looks finished.
Entryway tile off busy downtown streets
Front entries near the Broad Street district take grit straight off the sidewalk all day. That fine street dirt settles into the grout at the door first. We pull it back out of those lines so the first thing people see reads clean instead of gray.

Tile & grout questions from Downtown Augusta homeowners
The grout in my old house looks hopeless. Can it even come back?
More often than you'd think. Old grout is very porous, so it holds decades of soil below the surface, and that scrubs out. Most downtown floors lift a couple shades lighter once we run the machine over them. If a section really is beyond cleaning, we'll tell you straight and offer color restoration.
Is your method rough on an older tile floor?
No. The rotary machine works the cleaning solution into the grout and scrubs the soil out without tearing at old tile. We adjust how we work depending on what shape the floor is in.
Can you get film and haze off tile that was worked on?
Usually, yes. Leftover construction film and haze from a remodel sit on the surface, and our cleaning process clears most of it while we're scrubbing the grout. We'll let you know if any spot won't fully lift.
If I don't like it, am I stuck with it?
No. Every job we do in Downtown Augusta is backed by our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee, so if it's not right we come back and fix it.
