Ceramic and porcelain tile are similar in makeup; however, porcelain is harder than ceramic due to their different kiln processes. They are both made of clay and are treated with high temperatures and pressures. Ceramic is moisture-prone and very durable. Porcelain is treated at higher temps and pressure resulting in an extremely dense hard material.
Yes, professional tile and grout cleaning in Arizona is a wise investment, especially when routine mopping no longer restores the shine to your grout lines. Hard water and desert dust penetrate porous grout, areas household products can't reach.
Expert guidance from AriStone Cleaning & Restoration • Over 27 years of professional natural stone cleaning and restoration experience.
We offer a wide variety of services for your Tile and Grout flooring, depending on how dirty it is and the type, we will have a game plan to restore the beauty to your floors.
Our cleaning process is above and beyond the rest. We will start by addressing problem areas and understanding your overall goals with the cleaning. Once we figure out our game plan we will start the cleaning, we first spray the tile and grout with either our alkaline or acid based cleaner.
After letting it sit and dwell for 5-10 minutes, we scrub both the tile and grout to make sure we break up all dirt and debris. We then will power wash your tile and grout with our SX-15 which cleans at 1500 PSI and 220 Degrees, this is the absolute best way to get any tile and grout surface the cleanest it will ever get.
Our Acid Washing process is designed to restore stained and dirty grout to as close to the original color without color sealing. We start by first applying the cleaner to both the tile and grout joints.
We will then allow it to dwell for 5-10 minutes. After the dwelling, we agitate the grout joints with a grout brush. After the agitation, we power-wash both the tile and grout to neutralize the acid cleaner and to bring up all the dirt and grime that was stuck in the grout joints.
Grout haze is no fun, but sometime it is a part of the installation, it can happen for a variety of reason, but getting off you new flooring is the number one thing. We provide grout haze removal by first applying a highly concentrated acid based cleaner to the tile flooring, after the acid has had time to dwell we scrub the whole flooring with a 17 inch buffer to break up and soften the grout haze.
After the agitation, we power wash the tile and grout with our self-contained SX-15 to remove all grout haze remnants and neutralize the acid cleaner.
We only use high-quality solvent-based sealers with low VOC. The Hybrid Solvent is formulated for Grout and provides the best protection on the market from staining and discoloration of your grout joints.
We offer a 1-year warranty on our grout sealing, and it protects against staining and discoloration. It's simple, if for any reason you acquire any grout staining during the 1 year, we will come out and fix it for FREE.
Our Color Sealing process is the BEST on the market. We use a water-based sealer with a color pigmentation seal, which means our color seal actually absorbs into the grout and will not just sit on the surface like others.
When we color seal we will do a acid wash cleaning first to make sure the grout joints are etched and ready to receive the color seal properly, after that we apply the color seal with a brush to the grout, wipe the excess and then buff the whole floor to remove any haze.

YES. The type of tile determines which products and tools should be used; a mistake at this stage can damage the stone. That's why our grout and tile cleaning services always start by identifying your Arizona tile before any tile cleaning begins.
Ceramic: Kiln-fired clay. Durable, but more porous than porcelain stoneware; consequently, it absorbs more water and is more prone to staining.
Porcelain stoneware (Porcelain): Fired at higher temperatures and pressures, making it extremely dense and hard. It withstands strong cleaning agents well.
Travertine and marble: Natural stones that are sensitive to acids, which can cause surface damage (acid etching). Travertine and marble require cleaning, polishing, and sealing methods specifically suited to natural stone.
Slate: A natural stone with a layered structure and a textured surface that traps dirt. It requires gentle brushing with tools suitable for the stone.

Yes, because a deep clean can usually restore dirty grout to a color close to the original, without the need for regrouting or replacing the tile. Applying a sealer helps keep grout clean for longer and comes with a one-year stain warranty.
Place a few drops of water on a grout line. If the water soaks in and the grout darkens instead of beading up on the surface, the sealer has worn off and it is time for a new application.
Standard sealing uses a clear product that protects your grout's current color from stains. Color sealing adds a pigment that penetrates the grout, giving it a uniform color while also protecting it.
No. Acid damages travertine, marble, slate, and other natural stones; therefore, we use acid cleaning only on ceramic and porcelain tiles.
Most dark grout is simply dirty; deep cleaning or acid treatment can restore it to a color close to the original. If the color remains uneven after cleaning, applying a color sealer can even out the appearance without the need to regrout.
We break down calcium deposits on ceramic and porcelain using an acid-based cleaning solution, scrub the grout lines, and then rinse using our SX-15 tool at 104°C (220°F). For natural stone, we use a specialized cleaner that won't damage the stone.
It depends on foot traffic and the cleaning products used; the water-bead test is the best way to check the condition of the protection. Our grout sealing service comes with a one-year warranty against staining and discoloration; if a stain appears during this period, we will treat it at no extra cost.
It depends on foot traffic, so kitchens, entries, showers, and businesses need it more often than low-use rooms. When mopping no longer brightens your grout or water soaks in on the drop test, it’s time for professional cleaning.
