Why This Old Grout?

We've been involved in the grout cleaning and restoration business for nearly 15 years and have had fantastic results using our stone, tile & grout restoration and protection processes, techniques and professional grade products.

For example, our grout stain/sealer has been used in auto showrooms, hospitals, hotels, food establishments, commercial restrooms, learning institutions, and residences from California to Florida since 1993. It has proven to be the solution to grout maintenance problems and is even endorsed by three national grout manufacturers.

Our products and restoration process make grout completely uniform in color, just like when it was new. The protection our stain/sealer provides goes well beyond a clear penetrating or impregnating sealer. The grout color is refreshed and locked in and dirt is sealed out.  Dirt and spills are easily cleaned from the grout surface with regular maintenance. Grout can be restored to its original color or changed to match any color. In fact, we stock over 400 shades and match every grout color available.

As a product manufacturer, our service background in the stone, tile and grout maintenance/restoration industry provides us with a unique perspective that most manufacturers just don't have.  We know what works, and what kinds of products and processes are required to obtain professional results.  We are familiar with the real life needs of the contractor in the field and our high quality products are easy to use and economical.

Business Opportunity

The business opportunity/training certification packages we offer are very flexible. The low start-up cost and low overhead make it a simple business to start with a return on your initial investment in as little as 2-3 weeks. While our full business opportunity program is comprehensive and designed for the beginning entrepreneur, it can be completely customized to suit your needs.  

If you already own and operate a cleaning or tile installation business, stone, tile & grout cleaning and protection could easily add thousand of dollars a month to your bottom line. It’s the perfect add on service to any carpet cleaning or Jan/San business.
