Expert Tile and Grout Cleaning in Tucson, AZ

Tile and grout cleaning in Tucson takes more than a good mop and bucket. Between the desert dust, hard water, and all that foot traffic, tile floors around here can turn dull in no time. At Awash Window and Building Cleaning Services, we’ve been tackling those stubborn grout lines for years—homes, offices, restaurants, you name it. We’re not guessing at how to do it; we’ve cleaned just about every kind of floor Tucson has to offer.


We started Awash back in 1989 with a simple goal—to give our neighbors honest,
quality cleaning that lasts. Decades later, that same mindset still guides every job we take on

Why Tucson Tile Needs a Little Extra Care

Here’s the thing about tile around here: Tucson’s got some of the hardest water in the Southwest. Add in dust storms, muddy shoes, and everyday spills, and your grout starts looking older than it really is. Most folks don’t realize how much dirt gets packed into those tiny grout lines until we start cleaning—and they see the color difference.


That’s why professional tile cleaning matters. Regular mopping just pushes that dust around. We use a combination of high-heat extraction and
eco-friendly tile cleaning solutions that pull out everything sitting deep below the surface. By the time we’re done, your floors not only look better, they feel cleaner too

Residential and Commercial Tile Cleaning

We handle both residential tile cleaning and commercial tile cleaning across Tucson and the surrounding towns. Homeowners call us for kitchens, bathrooms, and entryways—those high-traffic spots that always seem to catch the most grime. Business owners rely on us for restrooms, lobbies, and restaurant floors that need to stay spotless for customers.


We adjust how we clean depending on the space. In homes, we use quieter machines and keep things family-safe. In businesses, we schedule off-hours work so we’re not in anyone’s way. Either way, we leave the place ready to use, with no sticky residue and no harsh smell—just clean tile and bright grout.

Our Tile & Grout Cleaning Process

After 30-plus years in this business, we’ve got our tile and grout cleaning process down to a science. Every job starts the same way—we walk the space, look at the type of tile, check the grout condition, and spot any problem areas. Old tile reacts differently than newer sealants, so it’s important to match the right cleaning method to the surface.


From there, we get to work:

1. Pre-Treatment—We spray a mild but effective cleaner that loosens up built-up dirt and grease.

2. Agitation—Our rotary scrubbers work the cleaner into the grout lines, lifting out debris that’s been there for months or even years.

3. Steam Tile Cleaning – We bring in high-temperature equipment to blast away what’s left, using controlled pressure that won’t damage the tile.

4. Rinse and Extract—The system rinses and extracts at the same time, leaving your floors nearly dry when we finish.

5. Optional Grout Sealing—For long-term protection, we can apply a fresh seal so the grout stays cleaner longer.


That mix of steam tile cleaning and gentle mechanical scrubbing gets down deep without being harsh on your flooring—a balance we’ve learned through plenty of trial and error right here in Tucson homes.

Why People Keep Calling Awash

If you ask around Tucson, chances are someone’s already used Awash Window and Building Cleaning Services for something—windows, carpets, or tile. Most of our work comes from repeat customers who like knowing who’s walking through their door.


We don’t rush. We don’t upsell. We show up when we say we will, do the job right, and don’t leave until it’s done. That’s how we’ve kept long-term clients—families, churches, and businesses that have trusted us for decades. For us, it’s not about being the biggest company in town. It’s about being the one people know they can count on.

Local Knowledge, Honest Work

After working in Tucson for as long as we have, you start to pick up a few patterns. Bathrooms here often have fine mineral stains on the tile from hard water. Older kitchens have grout that wasn’t sealed properly and darkens fast. And restaurant floors—well, those can hide layers of grease you’d never notice until we bring out the steam equipment.


That’s what experience gets you: knowing how to clean each surface right the first time. We’re proud to bring that local know-how to every tile grout restoration and tile stain removal job we take on.

What You Can Expect After Cleaning

Once we’re done, you’ll see—and feel—the difference. The grout brightens up, the tile looks newer, and it’s easier to keep clean after that. We’ll walk you through a few tips to make it last: regular sweeping, light mopping, and sealing when needed.


Most folks are surprised how much cleaner the air feels afterward, too. Removing built-up grime and bacteria from tile surfaces improves indoor air quality, especially in kitchens and bathrooms. It’s one of those little things that just makes a house feel fresher.

Eco-Friendly, Family-Safe Cleaning

We believe cleaning should make your home healthier, not introduce harsh chemicals. That’s why every tile cleaning solution we use is biodegradable and safe for both pets and kids. We’ve tested a lot of products over the years, and we’ve stuck with the ones that actually clean without leaving behind a slick film or strong smell.


You’ll see us use those same products whether we’re doing a small bathroom tile cleaning or a full commercial tile cleaning job downtown. Clean floors, clean conscience—that’s how we like it.
