Details below of a Quarry Tiled kitchen floor installed in a house in the Leicestershire village of Croft. The floor was very old and heavily soiled with some paint spots and the quarry tiles were looking dull and tired, there was some staining to the grout.

Cleaning Kitchen Quarry Tiles

A solution of Tile Doctor Pro-Clean was applied to the floor and left to soak for a short while before being scrubbed in with a rotary machine fitted with a black scrubbing pad. The grout also need attention, unfortunately we don’t have a machine that will get into the grout lines so this had to be manually scrubbed by hand using a grout brush, which as you can imagine took some time to do. The soiled cleaning solution was then removed using a wet vacuum and the floor thoroughly rinsed with water and then left to dry overnight.

Sealing Kitchen Quarry Tiles

When we returned the next day we could see there were some grout lines that we had missed the day before so we set about cleaning those up. Once we were happy with the floor it and it had managed to dry off we sealed the floor using five coats of Tile Doctor Colour Grow which provides surface stain protection to the quarry tile and grout and also brings out the colour in the surface of the tile.
