High-pressure, high-heat cleaning that brings grout lines back to their original color — with optional sealing.
Tile and grout cleaning in Eastlake usually means the whole downstairs. Most homes in Eastlake Greens, Eastlake Woods and the neighboring villages were built in the 1990s and 2000s with carpet upstairs and ceramic or porcelain tile covering the kitchen, family room and entry. After twenty-plus years of kids, dogs and school-day mopping, that builder grout has turned from beige to charcoal, especially in the path from the garage to the kitchen and from the kitchen to the backyard slider. Our crews pre-treat, brush each joint and extract with hot water, then seal the grout if you want the result to hold. We come from Point Loma in about 25 minutes and cover both 91914 and 91915.
Eastlake was built as a family community, and it shows on the floors. Builders of that era commonly used 12-inch or 18-inch ceramic tile with sanded grout, and in many homes that grout was never sealed. Sanded grout is especially porous, so it absorbed mop water from the first week and has been collecting soil ever since.
The pattern we see is consistent. The grout in low-traffic corners and under furniture is still close to its original color, while the traffic lanes are several shades darker. Kitchen grout in front of the stove and sink carries a layer of cooking grease that grabs dust. Around the dog bowls there is often a dark ring where water and food have been spilled for years. Laundry rooms and half baths off the garage pick up the fine, dry dust that blows in from the surrounding hills.
That contrast is actually good news. It tells us the grout underneath is intact, and a proper cleaning can bring the dark lanes back in line with the protected corners. We use an alkaline pre-treatment that cuts grease and body oils, work every joint with detail brushes and then rinse and extract with high-pressure hot water so the soil leaves the house instead of settling back into the lines.
For households with young kids and pets, sealing is the step that makes the biggest long-term difference. A clear sealer lets spilled juice and muddy paw prints sit on the surface long enough to wipe up. Many Eastlake downstairs areas are one continuous connected space, which keeps tile and grout cleaning in Eastlake at the standard per-foot rate.

We have used Imperial Carpet Care service several times throughout the years and they did a great job this time as always. The communication was easy and the service team was very professional. They helped removed some pet and coffee stains that have been there for a couple of years too. Highly recommend and would definitely hire again!

I had a great experience with Imperial Carpet Cleaning! From the beginning, they were incredibly kind, professional, and accommodating. They were able to fit me in quickly for an estimate, gave me a very fair price, and then scheduled the cleaning soon after in a way that worked perfectly with my schedule. They did a fantastic job cleaning my LVP floors and two couches, and everything looks so much better! I really appreciated how easy and pleasant the entire process was. Great service, great communication, fair pricing, and excellent results. I would absolutely recommend Imperial Carpet Cleaning!

They did a very good job! First the woman on the phone Iris was very helpful and booked us for the very next morning. The workers were punctual and friendly and bilingual and did a great job. We had a smaller space so they only took about thirty minutes which was perfect for us because we had to get to work. We are pleased with the outcome.

No. Unsealed grout is exactly what we clean most often in Eastlake. As long as the grout is intact and not crumbling, a deep cleaning usually brings it much closer to its original color. Sealing right after the cleaning is the ideal time, because the joints are clean and dry.
Yes. A connected kitchen, family room, entry and hallway is typically handled in a single visit at $0.99 per square foot to clean or $1.10 to clean and seal. Separate areas elsewhere in the house, such as an upstairs bath, are priced at $1.15 per square foot.
Our solutions are non-toxic and pet-safe, and the hot-water rinse removes them from the floor. We simply ask that pets stay off the tile until it dries, and a little longer if we have sealed the grout, so paw prints do not end up in fresh sealer.
That spot takes traffic from the backyard: soil, lawn debris, water from the hose and wet paws. It is almost always soil rather than damage, so it responds well to cleaning. A mat on both sides of the slider will keep it from darkening again as quickly.
