Question: How long does it take to get the tile & grout at my business professionally cleaned?

Answer: For a 300 square-foot area, cleaning generally takes 1 to 3 hours. If you choose to have the grout sealed by applying a urethane finish, we recommend waiting 24 hours after rinsing to apply sealer so the sealer will adhere properly. Grout sealing itself takes two to three hours. Time varies based on tile size, the amount of soil in the grout and room configuration.
