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.

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

If you already own and operate a cleaning or tile installation
business, stone, tile & grout cleaning and protection could easily add thousand
