Tile and Grout

i have run a buffer over surfaces like that with a thin pad and just enough 101 to loosen the over spray, and splatter, but like anything ya got to be carefull to test first so you don’t end up with bigger problems. the easiset is just to catch it while its fresh. if its an employee thats causing the problem, i would make them go back and scrub it out by hand, might cost a little extra in time, but they probably will be a little more carefull next time.

You can mask the area off to keep splash or spray off unwanted surfaces. You can do it by hand at those areas. Tile cleaning, if you are using the buffer, spins solution all over so you have to take precautions. To clean unsealed grout you have to charge accordingly to make it worth your while because it takes time to get it clean….I have stopped doing tile…it is just not worth it to me…but then i’m not in my twenties any more HA HA.

good luck

can you use bleach or peroxide on grout?

peroxide i think would deffinatly be safer ,but it can” bleach out” carpet over time . never heard of bleach making things brittle

I have the same attachment. Works great for small areas like bathrooms.

With heart felt sincerity, I’m going to leave myself a little open here. We worked on educating ourselves to clean tile & grout through the bulletin board, tutorials, and just asking a lot of questions. I bought the T&G (Buffer) package and bought the ninja package a month or so later. We have increased our business about 30% in the last two weeks (and climbing) just by letting customers know (when they call for an appointment) that we also clean T&G! We mention hard wood and vct but T&G is really taking off!

I have learned … that T&G has similarities to carpet cleaning. 1. You can clean it, but doesn’t always come out as good as you would like. 2. The first few times, you will spend more time “learning as you go” than the $ per hour you would like. Like with carpet $ per hr get better with experience. 3. There’s a reason they call it “Dwell” time. 4. Customers love us! 5. It pays to pass on some jobs.

I was one of those who were content just doing carpet & upholstery cleaning. What prevented me from doing T&G, hard wood floor, and vct tiles? Frankly I didn’t take the time to educate myself and lacked the vision. I now see the light! (or at least see the added $’s ) Only you can decide weather or not it is right for you. I have only seen one restaurant in all of La Grande that didn’t have T&G. It’s all over, homes, office buildings, bathrooms, public restrooms, entryways, halls, churches, dealerships, just to name a few. It’s almost every where there’s not carpet. I just hired a part timer to help with the increased work knowing full well it’s on it’s way up, up, and away! I’m looking at and doing -one van- second shifts, and night shift contract cleaner. It just makes sense to me.

Please reconsider why you don’t expand your horizon’s.
