Tile & Grout Cleaning tailored to your space
Tiles are easy to wipe, but grout is another story. It is porous, so it soaks up dirt, grease and soap, and it can turn from light grey to almost black. Even clean tiles look dirty when the grout lines are dark. Detailed cleaning often brings a much better result than people expect.
We remove dirt from tile surfaces, clean grout lines, treat suitable stains, remove accumulated grime and refresh tiled floors and walls in bathrooms, kitchens, entrances, balconies and commercial premises across Nairobi and Thika.
If grout is cracked, crumbling or missing, cleaning cannot fix it, and that area may need to be re-grouted. We will tell you if we see that, because it also lets water reach behind your tiles.

Why it is worth using a professional
Bleach and strong acids are common home fixes, but they can weaken grout and damage certain tiles. Effective grout cleaning relies on the right product, contact time and scrubbing method, and it is hard, slow work to do by hand. Professional cleaning saves that effort, and it can delay the expense of re-tiling.
Tile & Grout Cleaning in Nairobi and Thika
Bathrooms in Nairobi apartments often have little ventilation, leaving grout damp and prone to mould. Hard water in areas supplied by boreholes adds scale to wall tiles and shower floors. Outdoor tiles on balconies and verandas in Karen, Runda and Thika also darken from rain, dust and algae, particularly in shaded areas.

We price by scope of work, so your quote reflects your actual job. The main factors are:

- Condition of the grout

- Floor or wall tiles
How to prepare

- Tell us about products used before
- Mention any loose tiles

Keeping the results between visits
Grout stays cleaner in a dry, well-ventilated room. After showers, open a window or leave the fan running, and wipe down wet tiles. Use a mild cleaner and a soft brush for routine cleaning, and avoid strong acids and bleach, which weaken grout over time. Fix leaks and cracked grout promptly, so that water does not reach behind the tiles. Rinse the area well after cleaning, because soap residue attracts dirt. Sealing grout after a thorough clean can make it easier to maintain, and that is worth asking your tiler about. In kitchens, clean the grout behind cookers regularly, as it absorbs grease and darkens quickly.
How we choose the right method
Specialized cleaning starts with looking at the item or surface, because the wrong product or too much water can do more harm than the dirt itself. We ask what the material is, how old it is, what caused any marks and what has already been tried on them. Photos sent by WhatsApp are often enough to give a useful first answer, and larger jobs can be assessed on site. Where a manufacturer has given care instructions, we follow them. It also helps to be honest about limits: some old stains, sun damage and worn surfaces can be improved but not fully reversed, so we explain what result is realistic for your tile & grout cleaning before work begins.
What to expect on the day
On the day, we start by checking the item or surface with you and confirming what was agreed. The area is prepared, and nearby furniture and fittings are protected or moved where necessary. We work through the agreed method and check progress along the way, particularly on stains and delicate materials. Afterwards, we show you the result and explain any drying time or care instructions. Please follow this advice before using the item or walking on the surface, because it protects the finish and gives you the best result. If a mark remains, we will explain why, and what further options may be available.
