Stone, Tile & Grout Cleaning

Natural stone, tile or glass, our technicians will safely and effectively clean, sanitize and seal your flooring, countertops/backsplashes, shower enclosures, tub and fireplace surrounds.

To determine the most effective cleaning methods, our technicians are mindful of the following service considerations:

  • The characteristics and sensitivities of your stone or tile.
  • The type and degree of surface residue.
  • Format, design and decorative accents.
  • Hard water and soap residue.
  • Grout and caulk condition.
  • Existing sealer.
  • The surrounding surfaces that must be protected.

The products that we use are safe for your stone, tile, grout and caulk ... ones that we would be comfortable using in our own homes. Our technicians are experienced at repairing minor grout imperfections, repairing travertine fill, replacing tired caulk and minor scratch and etching removal.

Some Facts About Stone & Tile

  • Natural Stone: Some natural stones are more resistant to damage from scratches and soils, some more sensitive to acids, water deposits and everyday cleaning agents. Our cleaning products and procedures are safe for your natural stone surfaces.
  • Man-Made Tile: Some man-made tiles are very durable while others can be relatively soft. Many have surface textures that make cleaning more of a challenge. Although cleaning may require more dwell time and technician diligence, we leave you with a completely clean and sanitary finish.
  • Grout: The most widely used grout is typically a cement-type product that is actually semi-porous and relies on being sealed and having a waterproof backing. Strong alkaline or acidic cleaners sold for shower cleaning can quickly erode grout and hasten required repair. Rest assured that D. A. Burns will use methods and procedures to extend the life of your grout.
  • Caulk: The lifespan of caulk depends on the quality of caulk used and care taken during installation. Caulks are a flexible adhesive meant to seal joints that may have some movement, such as the counter-to-wall interface or tub and shower surrounds. It is common to replace caulk when a bath or shower surround is cleaned.
  • Residues: Residues can be a result of mineral deposits from incoming water, greases from skin and hair conditioners, soap build-up, over the counter cleaners or even grout haze from the original installation process. Removal of each can require a different product and procedure. The amount of any build-up can also affect the amount of time required to provide a clean surface.
