How to Choose a Tile and Grout Cleaning Company

8 Questions to Ask Before Hiring

#	Question	Good Answer	Red Flag
1	What equipment do you use?	Truck-mounted or commercial extraction	"We use a mop and store products"
2	How do you price?	Per square foot after in-home estimate	Flat rate over the phone sight-unseen
3	Is sealing included?	Available as add-on, priced separately	Vague or avoids the question
4	Are you insured?	General liability + workers' comp	"I'm a solo guy, don't need it"
5	Can I see before/after photos?	Shows real local work	Only stock photos or none
6	What's the process?	Pre-treat → agitate → extract → seal	Can't explain or just "we scrub and mop"
7	Do you offer free estimates?	Yes, on-site	Requires upfront deposit or phone quote only
8	How long until I can walk on floors?	Gives specific timeline (30–60 min for cleaning)	"Should be fine right away"

Pricing Red Flags

• "$99 whole home cleaning" — Bait-and-switch. They'll upsell 3x once on-site.
• Per-room pricing without seeing the space — Rooms vary in size. A "room" could be 40 sq ft or 400 sq ft.
• Quoting over the phone — Legitimate pros need to see the grout condition in person.
• No mention of sealing — Cleaning without sealing means your grout will look dirty again in months.
