Grout lines that used to be light and now look brown or black? Keep It Clean has been the tile and grout cleaning in Athens, AL that families and businesses call since 2002. Bobby Redus owns and runs the company right here on East Pryor Street, and our IICRC-certified crew cleans with hot water under pressure, then vacuums it straight back up, so the dirt leaves with us instead of settling back into the lines.
You get a written price before we start. If a section of grout is worn or stained too deep to come all the way back, we tell you before we begin, not after.
Why Your Grout Keeps Getting Darker
Grout goes darker so slowly that you quit seeing it. A mop pushes dirty water across the floor, and grout lines sit lower than the tile, so that water settles right down into them. Every mopping leaves a little more soil, grease and soap behind.
That is why the tile can look fine while the lines between it keep going darker. You are not doing anything wrong. A mop was never going to get down in there. Professional grout cleaning pulls that buildup out instead of spreading it around.
How We Clean Tile and Grout, Step by Step
1. Walk-through and written price
We look at every room with you, point out worn or stained spots, and put the price in writing before any work begins.
2. Pre-treat the grout lines
We work a cleaning solution into the grout to loosen soil, grease and soap film.
3. Hot water under pressure
Our equipment drives hot water into the tile surface and grout lines to break the buildup free.
4. Vacuum it straight back up
The same tool pulls the dirty water back out, so what comes out of the grout leaves with us.
5. Final check with you
We walk the floor with you before we leave. If a spot needs another pass, it gets one right then.

Tile and Grout Cleaning FAQ
How often should tile and grout be professionally cleaned?
Every 12 to 18 months for most homes. Kitchens, entryways and busy bathrooms, or homes with kids and pets, look best with a cleaning every 6 to 12 months. Regular cleaning keeps soil from packing deep into the grout, where it gets harder to remove.
Can stained grout be cleaned, or does it need to be replaced?
Most dark grout is dirt, grease and soap film sitting in the lines, and hot water under pressure takes it out. Grout that is cracked, crumbling or stained all the way through may not come fully back. We check for that during the walk-through and tell you before we start.
Why does my grout look dirty right after I mop?
Because the mop is part of the problem. Grout lines sit lower than the tile, so dirty mop water runs into them and dries there. Over time that builds a dark layer a mop cannot reach. A professional cleaning pulls it out and gives your mop a clean start.
Is your tile cleaning safe for kids and pets?
Yes. We use eco-friendly cleaning solutions and rinse them out with hot water, then vacuum the water back up, so no sticky residue is left on the tile or in the grout.
Do I need to do anything before you come?
Pick up rugs, small items and anything breakable from the floors we are cleaning. We move light furniture like chairs and small tables for you. Tell us about any loose or cracked tiles when you call so we can plan around them.
