Are your tiled areas looking dull, dirty, and maybe a little unhealthy? You can scrub and scrub, but that porous grout just loves to trap grime, mould, and bacteria. At A1 Service Providers, we are the trusted tile and grout cleaning experts across Southern Sydney. Using professional-grade, high-pressure steam cleaning and specialised solutions, we don’t just clean the surface—we deep-clean your floor tiles and wall tiles, restoring their original colour and shine.
Mopping only cleans the surface of your tiles. Because grout is porous—meaning it has tiny holes—it acts like a sponge, soaking up dirty water, soap scum, grease, and bacteria. Trying to clean this yourself usually pushes more dirt deeper into the grout lines.
We use professional-grade machines and solutions that safely remove this embedded grime, extracting it completely from the floor. This is a crucial step for maintaining the value of your property and the health of your family.
If you notice any of these five common issues in your home, it's time to call a professional cleaner:
Kitchen Benchtop Greasiness: The grout surrounding your kitchen benchtop and splashback has turned dark and sticky. This is a tell-tale sign of deeply absorbed cooking grease and oil splatter which can become rancid over time.
Shower Mould Growth: You can see black or pink spots of mould and mildew growing inside your shower recess. This fungus thrives on moisture and soap residue in the porous grout lines and requires powerful, targeted removal.
Dull Floor Tiles: Your porcelain or ceramic floor tiles look consistently dull and lifeless, even right after you've mopped. The problem is dirty water settling into the lower, rough texture of the grout, creating a shadowy, uneven colour across the room.
White Powdery Residue: You notice a white, chalky residue—known as efflorescence—that keeps reappearing on your natural stone (like marble or travertine) or outdoor tiles. This indicates minerals are leaching out of the concrete underneath and need professional neutralisation and sealing.
Allergy Concerns: Family members, particularly children or the elderly, are experiencing increased allergy or asthma symptoms. This can be caused by dust, pet dander, and other allergens trapped deep within the textured tiles and rough grout surfaces.
As a trusted, local Southern Sydney business, we bring expertise from across the cleaning spectrum. Because we also handle carpets and pests, we understand cross-contamination and the importance of a hygienically clean environment. We use the same commitment to quality, high-end equipment, and safe methods for your tiled floors as we do for your carpets and pests.
We invest in premium-quality solutions and systems to guarantee the best results for our clients.

Your safety and the protection of your home are our top priority. The professional chemicals we use are fully tested and safe for home use when applied correctly. They are designed to break down dirt and neutralise upon extraction, leaving behind no harmful residue or strong odours. We ensure all cleaned areas are safe for children and pets immediately after the job is complete.
For an average home (e.g., a kitchen, bathroom, and laundry), the cleaning process usually takes 2 to 3 hours. This depends heavily on the amount of furniture we need to move and how soiled the grout is. Tiled areas can often be walked on immediately after cleaning, but sealing requires time to cure.
We use a self-contained, high-pressure extraction system. This means the cleaning solution and dirty water are immediately sucked back up into our truck-mounted unit or portable machine. The process is very tidy, and while there is noise from the extraction unit, it is well managed.
Absolutely not. We match our cleaning solution and pressure settings to your specific tile type (ceramic, stone, or porcelain) to ensure safe cleaning. We do not use harsh acids that can damage the grout itself, relying instead on high heat and powerful extraction.
Sealing acts like an invisible barrier on the porous grout, stopping spills (like red wine, oil, or food colouring) from soaking in and staining. Sealing makes your ongoing cleaning much easier and helps maintain the "just cleaned" look for longer.
In high-traffic areas like the kitchen and main living areas, we recommend a professional deep clean every 12 to 18 months. For bathrooms and shower recesses, due to the high moisture and mould risk, we suggest a clean every 6 to 12 months, especially if they are not well-ventilated.
