Say goodbye to discolored grout and dull tiles. We bring the shine back to Kensington homes using industrial-grade steam extraction and specialized sealant technology.
In Kensington homes, high-traffic areas like kitchens and bathrooms face a unique challenge that a standard mop simply cannot solve.
Grout is a mixture of water, cement, and sand. Unlike the ceramic or porcelain tile it surrounds, grout is highly porous. On a microscopic level, it contains thousands of tiny holes. When you mop your floor, the dirty water doesn't just get wiped away—it is pulled into these pores by capillary action.
Over months and years, this creates a buildup of "slurry" deep inside the grout lines. This is why grout in Kensington terraces and apartments often turns from light grey or white to a dark, patchy brown or black.
Traditional mopping often does more harm than good for grout health. As the mop moves across the floor, the grout lines act as a "squeegee," stripping the dirt off the mop and depositing it into the low-lying grout joints.
Stop pushing dirt around. Get a deep extraction clean.
Professional results require more than just water—it requires a system.
Every tile is different. We begin by identifying whether your Kensington home has porcelain, ceramic, marble, slate, or travertine. Using the wrong pH chemical on natural stone can cause permanent etching. We test the grout integrity to ensure it can withstand high-pressure extraction.
We apply a specialized alkaline solution designed to break down carbon-based greases and oils. This is not a "spray and wipe" method; we allow the solution to "dwell" for 15-20 minutes, emulsifying the dirt trapped inside the grout pores. For kitchens, this step is essential for removing cooking fats.
Using a dual-counter-rotating brush machine, we agitate the pre-treatment deep into the grout lines. This mechanical action loosens the "stubborn" soil that has been impacted over years of foot traffic. It’s far more effective than manual scrubbing and ensures 100% coverage.
This is where the magic happens. We use a truck-mounted or industrial portable unit to blast water heated to $110^\circ C$ at $1000+$ PSI into the tiles. Our specialized "captured" tool immediately vacuums the dirty water back into a waste tank, meaning no mess and no splashing on your Kensington baseboards or furniture.
For bathrooms with heavy calcium buildup or "efflorescence" (white salt deposits), we perform a secondary targeted acid wash. This restores the original color of the grout by removing mineral deposits that alkaline cleaners can't touch.
Finally, we use industrial air movers to dry the floor rapidly. This prevents "wicking" (where dirt rises back to the surface) and allows us to inspect the clean floor for any missed spots. We finish by buffing the tiles to a streak-free shine.

Cleaning restores your floors; sealing keeps them that way. In Kensington's active households, unprotected grout is an open door for permanent staining.
This is a "sub-surface" sealer that soaks into the grout pores. It doesn't change the look of your floor but creates an oleophobic (oil-repelling) and hydrophobic (water-repelling) barrier.
The ultimate restoration. We apply a topical epoxy resin that completely covers the existing grout. This is the "Gold Standard" for Kensington bathroom renovations without the cost of re-grouting.
Our Kensington experts provide a "Water Drop Test" during every quote.
Using the same cleaning method on Marble as you do on Ceramic is a recipe for disaster. Here is how we treat the specific surfaces found in Kensington properties.
The most common flooring in modern Kensington apartments. While the tile itself is non-porous, the grout is a magnet for dirt. We use high-heat steam ($110^\circ C$) to emulsify surface grease without risk of cracking the glaze.
Marble is "acid-sensitive." Standard supermarket cleaners will "etch" (chemically burn) the surface. We use strictly pH-neutral specialized stone soaps and low-pressure extraction to preserve the natural veining and polish.
Often found in Kensington’s older patios and sunrooms. These are highly absorbent. We focus on deep-pore extraction and recommend a "breathable" topical sealer to prevent the stone from flaking or "spalling" over time.
Known for its natural "voids" or holes. These holes often collect dirt that a mop can't reach. Our agitation brushes are designed to get deep into these pockets, followed by a flush that leaves the stone surgically clean.
Many Kensington residents call us after a "bad experience" with general cleaners who used harsh acids on their limestone bathrooms, causing permanent white spots. At Office Cleanings Kensington, we perform a mineral test before we start. We understand that your flooring is a significant investment in your home’s value. By choosing a specialist, you aren't just getting a clean floor—you are getting a preservation service.

Everything Kensington homeowners need to know about our 2033 service.
Thanks to our high-powered industrial suction and air-moving fans, your tiles will be touch-dry within 30 to 60 minutes. However, if we have applied a penetrating sealer, we recommend "sock-traffic" only for the first 4 hours and keeping pets off the area until the sealer has fully cured (usually 24 hours) for the best long-term protection.
Yes. Kensington’s humidity can lead to stubborn black mold in shower recesses. Our high-temperature steam ($110^\circ C$) kills mold spores at the root. While we can remove 99% of surface mold, if the mold has grown *behind* the silicone or deep under the grout, we may recommend a re-grouting or re-caulking service which we can discuss during your quote at 1800 716 834.
We ask that you move small items like dining chairs, floor plants, and rugs. Our Kensington technicians can help move larger items like lounges or tables as long as they aren't oversized or fragile. We always use protective sliders to ensure your hardwood or other flooring surfaces aren't scratched during the process.
Absolutely. At info@officecleanings.com.au, we prioritize your family's health. We use water-based, non-toxic cleaning agents that leave no harsh fumes or slippery residues. Once the floor is dry, it is 100% safe for your little ones and furry friends to roam freely.
Retail steam mops often lack the "extraction" component. They loosen the dirt but leave it sitting on the surface or push it deeper into the grout. Our system uses high-pressure flush and vacuum extraction, meaning we actually remove the soil from your home rather than just moving it around.
