Why Scottsdale Tile Needs Extra Care

Scottsdale is hard on floors. Here’s what we see most often:

Hard water. Valley water carries a lot of minerals. Over time they leave a cloudy white film on shower walls, glass and grout lines, and that film traps soap scum and makes clean tile look dirty.
Desert dust and monsoon dirt. Fine dust blows in most of the year, and monsoon storms bring mud and grit that gets tracked through entryways, patios and kitchens. Grit acts like sandpaper on sealers, and unsealed grout soaks up dirt and darkens.
Sun and heat. Floors by sliding doors and big windows wear and fade faster, and sealer breaks down sooner where the sun hits it every day.

Restoring the surface fixes how it looks right now. Sealing it properly is what keeps it looking that way.

Saltillo Tile in Scottsdale Homes

You’ll find Saltillo all over Scottsdale. It’s common in older ranch-style homes and in Santa Fe and territorial-style houses, from the neighborhoods around Old Town to McCormick Ranch, Gainey Ranch and North Scottsdale. Saltillo is handmade clay tile. It’s soft and porous, so it depends on its sealer. When the sealer wears thin, peels or turns yellow, the tile starts to look blotchy and dull and soaks up stains.

Our Saltillo restoration brings out the warm, rich color again. We deep clean the tile, take care of worn grout and seal it again so it’s protected. See our full Saltillo tile restoration process for more details.

Our Process: Deep Clean, Color-Seal, Protect

Every job follows the same three steps. Both the grout color sealant and the tile sealer are backed by a 7-year product warranty.

Drying time is short. The manufacturer says the sealer dries in about 30 minutes, but Nathan recommends staying off the floor for a full hour just to be safe. Most households can get back to normal the same day.

Deep clean

We clean out the dirt, grime and buildup that mopping can’t reach, in both the tile and the grout lines.

Color sealant on the grout

Instead of a clear coat, we apply a color sealant to the grout. Your grout ends up one even color, and it never fades or etches. This makes the biggest difference on dark, blotchy or mismatched grout. Learn more on our grout cleaning page.

Sealer on the tile

We finish with a protective sealer on the tile surface to help it resist stains and wear.

Scottsdale Businesses: Restaurants, Salons and Resorts

Tile in a business takes a beating. Restaurant kitchens and dining rooms deal with grease, spills and constant foot traffic. Salons deal with hair color, product drips and chairs rolling across the floor all day. Resort and hotel lobbies, hallways and pool areas need to look sharp for every guest.

We clean and seal tile and grout for Scottsdale restaurants, salons, resorts, offices and HOA common areas. The color-sealed grout and tile sealer make daily cleaning easier for your staff, and the 7-year product warranty protects the investment. Call us to talk about scheduling a time that works for your business.
