Tiles and Grout Cleaning Perth
Machine-assisted cleaning for tiled floors and the grout lines through them, and for wall tiles too when this service is booked on its own. From $5.50 per square metre with a $132 minimum charge.
Floor tiles, and the grout between them. Wall tiles too, when booked as a standalone service.
This is a machine-assisted treatment for tiled floors and the grout lines running through them. It lifts mould and mineral deposits out of grout that mopping cannot reach, which is why a floor can look clean and still read grey along every join. When you book this service on its own, we clean wall tiles as well as floor tiles. All equipment and materials are supplied by us and the work is done by our own employed, uniformed team.
Some of this work already sits inside a bond clean. Grout mould in the shower recess is removed and bathroom wall tiles are wiped down as part of a full Perth bond clean. What this service adds, when booked as its own job, is the full machine-assisted treatment across floor and wall tiles. It is not a repair for something the bond clean skips.
Is Tile and Grout Cleaning Mandatory When You Move Out?
Tile and grout cleaning is not a mandatory service. There's no requirement to have your tiles professionally cleaned before you move out.
Even so, clean grout matters. Dark, mouldy grout lines are one of the more obvious things a property manager notices at a final inspection.
Doing it yourself is completely fine. The tricky part is actually shifting mould and mineral deposits that have worked their way into the grout. A mop and a store-bought spray only lift what's on the surface. A lot of DIY attempts fall short here for exactly that reason.
If you'd rather not risk it, booking tile and grout cleaning alongside your bond clean means everything is handled in one visit.
Per square metre, with a minimum that matters
Both figures below are GST inclusive and both are needed to work out a price. On a small job the minimum charge is the number that applies, not the per square metre rate, which is why we never publish one without the other.
- Machine-assisted floor and wall tile cleaning
- Mould removal from grout lines
- Mineral deposit removal
- Satisfaction check on site
- Charged on measured tiled area
- Floor tiles, and wall tiles when booked standalone
- Usually 2 to 5 hours on site
- Satisfaction check on site
A worked example, so the minimum makes sense. A standard bathroom of roughly 10 square metres of floor tile is 10 multiplied by $5.50, which is $55. That falls below the $132 minimum, so the minimum charge applies instead and the price is $132. This is the normal case for a single bathroom, not an edge case, which is exactly why we state the minimum every time we state the rate.
What moves a price above the starting figures. The condition of the grout, how far mould and mineral deposits have gone, the tile type, and how accessible the area is. Scope is confirmed when you book.
Payment terms. A 10% deposit secures your booking and the balance is due on the day of service.

What we do not guarantee
Machine-assisted cleaning does a great deal and it cannot work on grout that is no longer there. These two limits are honest rather than defensive.
- Removal of staining in grout that is cracked, deteriorated or physically missing
- Results on tiles carrying pre-existing etching or physical damage
You check it before we leave
Our commitment on tile and grout cleaning is immediate rather than deferred. When the crew has finished, the job is inspected while they are still at the property, and anything you are not happy with is done again before they leave. That is what we mean by a 100% job satisfaction commitment.
It is a commitment about the standard of our workmanship: we keep working until you are satisfied with the work itself. It is not a promise about grout that is cracked or missing, or about tiles that were already etched or damaged before we arrived.
Your rights under Australian Consumer Law apply independently of this commitment and cannot be excluded by it.
How this differs from our other guarantees
Two of our services carry a fixed day count and four do not. Here is the position in plain terms, because the difference is easy to blur.
This service has no day count. The commitment is the on-site check described above, made and settled while the crew is present.
Bond cleaning carries a 14-day re-clean warranty, set out on its own policy page. Bond carpet cleaning carries 24 hours. Neither figure applies to tile and grout cleaning, and this service's on-site commitment does not apply to them.
A confirmed duration
Approximately 2 to 5 hours, depending on the level of soiling and the size of the area. A range we can stand behind rather than a guess.
Our own employed team
No subcontractors. Every job is done by our uniformed staff, and every team member holds a current National Police Certificate.
$10 million public liability
Public liability cover of $10 million, confirmed by the business, applies to the work we carry out at your property.

No weekend surcharge, no public holiday surcharge, no off-hours surcharge, and no distance surcharge anywhere in our service area.

Tile and grout cleaning in Perth, answered
Tile and grout cleaning is charged per square metre with a minimum charge, and both figures matter: the rate is from $5.50 per square metre and the minimum charge is from $132, GST inclusive. On a small job the minimum is the number that applies. A standard bathroom of roughly 10 square metres works out at 10 multiplied by $5.50, which is $55, so the $132 minimum applies instead. There is no weekend or public holiday surcharge and no distance surcharge anywhere in our service area.
Usually 2 to 5 hours, depending on the size of the area and how soiled the grout is.
Yes, when tile and grout cleaning is booked as its own service. Within a standard bond clean, bathroom wall tiles are wiped down but not machine-cleaned.
Yes. Grout that's cracked, deteriorated or physically missing may still show staining after cleaning, and we'll flag this before we start if it applies to your property.
Cleaning lifts embedded soil, mould and mineral deposits significantly. It doesn't repair or replace grout, so damaged grout looks better after cleaning but not brand new.
You inspect the work while the crew is still on site, and anything not to standard is redone before they leave. That's the basis of our 100% job satisfaction commitment.
