As we covered previously,a professional tile cleaning service will have a ton of experience. They also have all the knowledge, tools, and equipment to do your job quickly and right the first time. They can recommend procedures to help you between visits, such as grout sealing. They can offer ways to not only dramatically change your floor's appearance, but to help protect it from stains and damage.

According to a 2011 post on Mother Nature Network from user Networx Systems:

"You can clean tile grout without scrubbing, but the products you'd need to use contain some pretty harsh chemicals. If a simple and nontoxic method were available, it would be the best thing since sliced bread. In reality, a combined regimen is needed to keep your grout ship shape.
Water, food and temperature
Since grout is a porous and rough surface, it tends to pose cleaning challenges that are not present on the surface of glazed tile or polished stone. Dirty-looking grout is usually a combination of dirt, mold and mildew. To be effectively cleaned, a combined attack is needed — one that reaches into the tiny pores of the grout and stops mildew at its source.
For molds and mildews to grow, they need a moisture source, a food source and a bit of warmth. Reducing the temperature of your shower to the temperature of a refrigerator is … well let's just say that’s not going to work. The best method of control is by reducing the food and water sources for mold. The food source for most of these molds is our own skin cells and the soaps we use. The phosphates found in many soaps are also a great fertilizer for this growth. Keeping these residues at minimum levels will reduce potential mold growth."[VIEW SOURCE]
