Tile & Grout Cleaning in Midtown Memphis, TN
Midtown is where the old houses live — bungalows and four-squares in Central Gardens and Cooper-Young with tile that's been down for generations. The tile held up. The grout is the tired part.
Ask a homeowner in Central Gardens or Annesdale-Snowden about their bathroom floor and you'll hear the same thing: the tile's original, it's charming, and the grout looks grimy. That's the nature of grout. It's porous and set lower than the tile, so it draws in decades of soil and won't give it back to a mop.
You clean the floor, it looks good for a day, then it's dull again. That's the mop moving dirty water around and pressing it down into the grout rather than lifting the soil out. Our rotary floor machine scrubs a cleaning solution into the lines and works the trapped dirt up, then we rinse and mop the residue away.
When grout in a Midtown home has faded past cleaning and the original color is gone, we restore it instead of leaving you with gray seams. All of it is backed by our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.
Original tile in Central Gardens bungalows
The historic homes off Overton Park and through Central Gardens have small hex and mosaic tile in the baths, and the grout between all those little pieces holds a century of soil. We scrub it carefully so the pattern reads clean again without harming the old tile.
Shower and bath joints that stay dark
Midtown baths hold humidity, and grout that stays damp darkens along the corners and the shower base. We work the solution into those seams and pull the buildup back out. If a floor or wall has gone blotchy, color restoration evens it to one shade.
Kitchen and entry grout that greys quickly
The rooms you use most dull first. In a Cooper-Young or Rozelle kitchen, cooking film and foot traffic push grit down into the grout past where a mop can reach. We scrub each line so the whole floor looks clean, not just the tile.

Tile & grout questions from Midtown Memphis homeowners
Can you clean the delicate old tile in a Midtown home?
Yes, and carefully. A lot of these floors are small vintage tile with plenty of grout between the pieces. We match the method to the age of the floor, scrub the grout deep, and don't put the original tile at risk.
Is my grout dirty or is it stained forever?
Most of the time it's trapped soil, not a stain. It's sunk into the pores where a mop can't get to it. Once we scrub it out, most Midtown floors lighten by a couple shades. If a line won't clean, we'll say so and offer color restoration.
How wet will the floor be afterward?
Just damp. We rinse and mop the residue as we finish, so nothing gets flooded. The tile dries on its own in a short while.
What if the result isn't what I wanted?
We come back and make it right. Every Midtown job is covered by our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee, so you won't be stuck with a floor you're not happy with.
