Black shower grout
Grout that stays damp turns grey, then black. Scrubbing at home rarely gets it back.
You've scrubbed the shower and the grout is still black. Cold, damp air keeps it wet, so the mould keeps coming back. We clean bathrooms, kitchens and entries across Greater Hobart, Launceston and the North-West Coast.
We check your tile type, then clean every grout line, and you see the results in a photo report. Tile and grout cleaning is $29 per square metre, with bathroom floors from $189 including GST.
Bathroom floors and walls, shower recesses, kitchen floors and splashbacks, plus laundries, entries, hallways and tiled hearths.
We work with ceramic, porcelain and most natural stone. The grout lines get the most attention, because that's where the dirt and mould sit.
Outdoor tiles and pavers are a different job. For those, see pressure washing in Tasmania. Mould on ceilings and walls is covered by mould cleaning in Tasmania.
Usually it's one of these three.

Grease and dirt sink into grout lines. Mopping just spreads it around.
Clean grout makes a bathroom look years newer for buyers and inspections.
Every job follows the same four stages. Your photo report shows the result.

Grout is porous, so it holds whatever moisture sits on it. In a cold Tasmanian house, that moisture hangs around longer.
That's why surface mould, hearth ash and entry grit are on every Tasmanian tile job.
The same careful method in every region, with a few local differences.
Many older Hobart bathrooms are small, cold and slow to dry, so shower grout goes dark there first. Newer homes in Kingston and on the Eastern Shore see more kitchen and living-area tiles. We clean both, with stone-safe products whenever we find natural stone.
Launceston winters keep bathrooms cold, so shower steam turns straight to condensation on the tiles. Many homes also run a wood heater on a tiled hearth. Our grout cleaning in Newstead, Trevallyn and Kings Meadows covers the shower, the kitchen floor and the hearth in one visit.
We clean tiles and grout in Burnie, Devonport and the suburbs around them. Wet coastal winters carry mud and sand onto entry and laundry tiles, and grout near the back door often goes darkest. Add the laundry floor to the same visit.
Ceramic and porcelain handle stronger cleaners well, but natural stone like marble, travertine and limestone can etch and dull under acidic products. We identify the surface first and switch to stone-safe products where needed. Send a photo when you book if you're not sure.

Most grout comes up several shades lighter. Grout that is stained right through, cracked or crumbling won't fully recover with cleaning, and needs regrouting by a tradesperson.
We remove surface mould from grout as part of the clean. Mould that has grown deep into grout or silicone can come back, and silicone that stays black usually needs replacing by a tradesperson.
Yes. We identify the stone first and use stone-safe products, since acidic cleaners can etch it. If you're not sure what your tiles are, send a photo when you book.
Sealing isn't included in the prices on this page. Ask about it when you book and we'll tell you what suits your tiles.
It depends on the room temperature and airflow, and cold Tasmanian bathrooms dry more slowly in winter. We tell you when it's safe before we leave.
A deep clean scrubs bathroom grout as one task among many. A tile and grout clean focuses only on tiled surfaces and covers whole floors and walls, so book it when grout is the main problem.
Most customers book more than one. Same crews, same standards, one invoice.
We stay until it's right
Our cleaners don't leave until you're happy with the work. For end of lease cleans, if you're not satisfied and tell us within 72 hours, we come back and re-clean.
