Residential & Commercial Tile Cleaning
Professional Tile & Grout Cleaning in Miami
Tile and grout cleaning in Miami from Miami House Cleaning restores floors that mopping cannot: we pre-treat the grout lines, machine-scrub the tile and extract the dirty water instead of pushing it back into the grout. The result is grout closer to its original color and tile without the dull film that builds up in South Florida homes and businesses. Tile and grout cleaning starts at $750 for up to 1,000 sq ft of tile. Final pricing depends on material, condition, square footage and service requirements. Call 754-354-6072 for custom pricing.
Tile is the dominant floor in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach homes, from porcelain and ceramic in newer condos to travertine and terrazzo in older houses, and it is everywhere in commercial space: lobbies, restrooms, kitchens, hallways and showrooms. We clean all of it. Request a free quote or call 754-354-6072.
Residential Tile & Grout Cleaning — From $750
In a typical South Florida home the whole main level is tile, so the grout lines in the kitchen, bathrooms, hallways, living areas and entry carry years of foot traffic, cooking film and sand. Grout is porous. Once dirt is in it, a mop spreads it along the line instead of removing it, which is why grout that started off light beige ends up gray or brown while the tile itself still looks fine.
Our residential service covers floor tile, shower and tub surrounds, backsplashes and countertops where the material allows. We identify the tile and grout type first (porcelain, ceramic, natural stone, sanded or unsanded grout) and choose the pre-treatment to match, because a product that is right for porcelain can etch travertine or marble.
Tile and grout cleaning is often booked with a deep cleaning, before a listing goes live, or after a renovation has left grout haze and construction dust behind. If your floor looks cloudy rather than dirty, read how to tell if a Miami floor needs cleaning or refinishing first.
Commercial Tile Cleaning in Miami
Commercial tile takes the hardest use of any floor: restaurant and office kitchens, public restrooms, building lobbies, medical suites, salons, showrooms and condo-association hallways. Daily mopping keeps it presentable but slowly darkens the grout, and restrooms pick up odors that live in the grout lines around fixtures.
We schedule commercial tile and grout cleaning after hours or on weekends so floors are dry and safe before staff or customers arrive, and we can rotate areas (restrooms this quarter, lobby next) under a recurring office cleaning plan. Property managers and associations can request proof of insurance and a single invoice for multiple units or buildings. Areas over 10,000 sq ft are quoted individually.
Why Grout Gets Dark So Quickly in South Florida
Sand and grit. Fine sand tracked in from the beach, pool decks and parking lots settles into grout lines, which sit slightly below the tile surface. Every mop pass pushes more of it down.
Humidity and mildew. Grout that stays damp in bathrooms and laundry rooms, or in a home that is closed up for the summer, gives mildew a place to take hold. Humidity also slows drying after a regular mop, so dirty mop water sits in the lines.
Hard water and cooking film. Mineral deposits from hard water leave a haze on bathroom tile, and kitchens build up a thin layer of airborne grease that dust sticks to. Neither comes off with a neutral floor cleaner. See our note on hard-water scale vs. etching if your shower tile looks cloudy.
Professional cleaning lifts that soil out with pre-treatment, mechanical agitation and extraction, which brings grout back toward its original color, removes odors from restroom and kitchen grout, and makes everyday mopping effective again.
What's Included in Our Tile & Grout Cleaning Service
Surface and grout identification
We confirm the tile material and grout type so the right pre-treatment is used.
Dry soil removal
Sweeping and vacuuming so grit is not ground in during scrubbing.
Alkaline pre-treatment of grout lines
A cleaner suited to the surface is applied and allowed to dwell on the grout.
Machine scrubbing of tile and grout
Mechanical agitation across the floor and along each grout line, with hand detailing at edges and corners.
Rinse and extraction
Dirty solution is extracted rather than mopped, then the floor is rinsed and dried.
Final inspection
We walk the floor with you and point out any grout that is stained or damaged rather than dirty.
How Our Tile & Grout Cleaning Works
- Request a quote with the rooms or areas and approximate square footage of tile. We confirm the tier and price before booking.
- Inspection and test spot. We check the tile and grout type and test the cleaner in an inconspicuous area.
- Pre-treat. Grout lines and heavily soiled areas are pre-treated and left to dwell.
- Scrub. Machine scrubbing across the tile with grout-line attention, and hand brushing where machines cannot reach.
- Extract and rinse. Dirty water is pulled off the floor and the surface is rinsed so no residue is left to attract new soil.
- Dry and walk-through. Floors are typically dry within an hour or two. We review the result with you.
Cleaning vs. sealing: this service is a cleaning. Grout sealing, which helps freshly cleaned grout resist staining, is a separate step and is quoted separately on request.
Tile & Grout Cleaning Prices in Miami
Tile and grout cleaning is priced by the square footage of tile, so a kitchen-and-bathrooms job and a whole-house tile floor land in different tiers. Natural stone, heavy grout buildup and large commercial restrooms can affect the final figure. Our post on tile and grout cleaning cost in Miami walks through the factors.
Prices are for the tiled area we clean and include pre-treatment, machine scrubbing, extraction and rinse. Grout sealing is quoted separately. Final pricing depends on material, condition, square footage and service requirements. Call 754-354-6072 for custom pricing. Payment by Visa, Mastercard, American Express, debit or crypto (BTC, ETH).

Natural Stone and Hard Floor Cleaning in Miami: What We Do and Do Not Do
Natural stone floors. Travertine, marble and terrazzo are cleaned under this tile and grout service. We identify the stone first, test in an inconspicuous spot and use a pH-appropriate cleaner, because acidic products that are fine on porcelain can etch stone. Pricing follows the same tiers, starting at $750 for up to 1,000 sq ft of tile. Final pricing depends on material, condition, square footage and service requirements.
What cleaning cannot fix. Cleaning removes soil and film. It does not remove etch marks, scratches or a worn polish. We do not hone, grind or polish stone, and we do not refinish floors; that is work for a stone-restoration specialist. If the inspection shows etching or abrasion rather than soil, we will tell you before you book. Our guide to floor cleaning vs. refinishing shows how to tell the difference, and our natural-stone floor cleaning guide covers travertine, marble, terrazzo and keystone.
Wood floors. Wood floors are not part of this service and do not count toward the tile square footage. They are vacuumed and mopped as part of a regular house cleaning, which starts at $156 for a studio under 1,000 sq ft, or a deep cleaning, which starts at $256 for a studio. We do not sand or refinish wood floors.
Sealing. Grout sealing is not included in the cleaning price and is quoted separately on request.

Tile & Grout Cleaning FAQs
How much does tile and grout cleaning cost in Miami?
Tile and grout cleaning from Miami House Cleaning starts at $750 for up to 1,000 sq ft of tile, then $1,500 under 2,000 sq ft, $2,250 under 3,000, $2,900 under 4,000, $3,500 under 5,000 and $6,800 under 10,000 sq ft. Larger areas are quoted individually. Final pricing depends on material, condition, square footage and service requirements. Call 754-354-6072 for custom pricing.
Will my grout look new again?
Professional cleaning removes the soil sitting in and on the grout, so most grout comes back close to its original color. Grout that has been stained by dye, rust or years of untreated mildew, or that is cracked or crumbling, will look cleaner but not new. We point out those areas during the inspection so there are no surprises.
Do you seal the grout after cleaning?
Sealing is not included in the cleaning price. If you want freshly cleaned grout sealed to help it resist staining, ask when you request your quote and we will price it separately.
Is the process safe for natural stone like travertine or marble?
Yes, with the right products. We identify the surface first and use a pH-appropriate cleaner for natural stone, because acidic cleaners that work on porcelain can etch travertine, marble and terrazzo. We always test in an inconspicuous spot.
How long until I can walk on the floor?
Floors are usually dry within one to two hours after extraction. For commercial spaces we schedule after hours or on weekends so everything is dry before opening.
Do you clean shower tile and backsplashes too?
Yes. Shower and tub surrounds, backsplashes and tiled countertops can be included. Vertical surfaces are hand-detailed rather than machine-scrubbed, and heavy hard-water scale on shower tile is treated as part of the job where the surface allows.
Do you offer commercial tile cleaning for restrooms and lobbies?
Yes. We clean tile and grout in restrooms, lobbies, kitchens, hallways and showrooms for offices, restaurants, medical suites and condo associations, after hours or on weekends, and we can add it to a recurring office cleaning plan.
