Tile & Grout Cleaning in St. Andrews, SC
The tile in your St. Andrews home was never the problem. It's the grout between it, soaking up years of soil until the whole floor looks dirty, and no mop reaches down there.
The St. Andrews corridor runs between the Bush River and Broad River sides of Richland County, a busy stretch of homes and older subdivisions off St. Andrews Road. Plenty of these houses have tile in the kitchens, baths, and entries. The tile cleans up fine on its own. The grout is what keeps looking gray, because it sits lower than the tile and its surface is porous enough to hold grit indefinitely.
Mopping doesn't fix that. It lifts a little dirt and pushes the rest right back into the grout lines. The floor looks clean while it's wet, then dulls again as it dries. Over the years the grout just keeps getting darker.
We use a rotary floor machine that drives a cleaning solution into the grout and scrubs the soil up and out, then we rinse and mop the residue away. When a home along the Broad River corridor has grout that's faded past cleaning, we restore the color instead. Every job carries our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.
Grout lines that read gray against clean tile
When the tile wipes clean but the lines between stay dark, that's soil packed into the grout. Mopping only reaches the tile faces. We run the machine down each line until the whole floor reads one even color instead of light tile and dark grout.
Bathroom joints that hold the humidity
St. Andrews summers are humid and bathrooms stay damp long after the water's off. Grout that never fully dries darkens in the corners and along the tub. We scrub the solution into those seams and pull the buildup out. If a shower floor has gone patchy, color restoration levels it to one shade.
Entry and mudroom tile off Bush River Road
Front entries take the grit that rides in off the driveways and sidewalks around St. Andrews. That fine dirt settles right into the grout and leaves a dark path across the tile. We deep-clean those lines so the entry doesn't announce every trip in and out.

Tile & grout questions from St. Andrews homeowners
My grout looks permanently dirty. Can it really come clean?
Usually it can. What looks permanent is almost always soil sitting below the surface, and the machine pulls it out. Most St. Andrews floors come up two or three shades lighter. If a line truly won't clean, we'll tell you and offer color restoration.
Do you serve Seven Oaks and Irmo too?
We do. Along with St. Andrews we cover Columbia, Seven Oaks, Irmo, West Columbia, downtown Columbia, and Forest Acres.
Will there be standing water on my St. Andrews floor after you finish?
No. Rinsing and mopping up the cleaning residue is part of the job, so there's no standing water. The floor is only lightly damp and the tile dries on its own before long.
What if it doesn't turn out the way I wanted?
Then we make it right. Every tile and grout job in St. Andrews is backed by our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.
