"Vincent played a vital part in the creation of an intricate design using tile and granite for the master bath steam shower. The job also included custom tile throughout the home. He was extremely detailed and is definitely a master tile setter. The results are stunning, and will be included on the 2024 Salem Tour of Homes. Vincent has my highest recommendations."
"Best carpet and tile cleaning company there is. I’ve been using Cleanway for 20 years. They’re knowledgeable,professional and trustworthy if you need carpet or tile cleaned look no further than Cleanway."
"From estimate to finish the project went very well. Pricing was less than Costco flooring (similar quality). Nate's estimate was done quickly and on the mark. The process of making our selections were the most time consuming and Annie was very helpful in helping us narrow down on what we wanted. We cleared away furniture to make it easier for the contractor. The project took a couple more days to complete due to the removal of stubborn tile in the entryway. The contractor's crew was very courteous and professional. They did a great job of installing both carpet in the bedrooms and LVP in the rest of the house. Highly recommend them."
"Excellent communication, showed up on time. Good quality work, attention to detail, and went above and beyond to ensure our deck and sidewalks were spotless after cleaning the roof and gutters. Would hire again."
"Very pleased with the service provided by Tolgar's. They went the extra mile to make sure all was done to my complete satisfaction. Love the products they use (I don't do chemical cleaners or fragrances), their can-do attitude, and the quality of work they did for cleaning the home. They were also very accommodating of my schedule and preferences. Will definitely be using them again."
Grout Tile Cleaners questions, answered by experts
You can test whether your grout needs to be sealed with a water droplet test. If water beads up on the grout’s surface, it’s likely been sealed (or might not need to be). On the other hand, if the water gets absorbed or causes the grout to darken, then it’s time for a fresh grout sealing.
There are several products you can buy to soften caulk for removal. The most affordable are WD-40, alcohol, and vinegar. Industrial-grade isopropyl alcohol can be used for caulk that won’t budge, but you should hire a professional before using this solution. There are also a variety of products available at your local home improvement store that are made specifically for removing caulk.
Unless you have epoxy grout, you should reseal your grout after cleaning. This is especially true if you’re in a high-moisture area like your bathroom or kitchen. Sealing your grout has a lot of advantages, like helping your tiles last longer and making it easier to clean the grout the next time.
If you happen to skip this step, you’re likely to have grout problems down the road like cracking or grout falling out. You may also notice damage to your tiles.
Yes, you can use household cleaners on silicone caulk, but opt for mild, non-abrasive cleaners. Solutions like vinegar and water are effective for tackling mold and dirt. Avoid cleaners containing ammonia or harsh chemicals because they can damage the caulk. Always test a small area first to ensure the cleaner doesn’t cause any adverse effects.
Be sure to check the grout you use before you apply the grout sealer. Sometimes, grout doesn’t actually need sealer at all.
For the rest, apply one thin coat, clean up any excess mess, and let it sit for at least a full day. After a day has passed, go ahead and apply a second thin coat. Again, let that dry for another 24 hours.
