A safe and really powerful cleaner! Penetrates the millions of pores in tile and releases the dirt and residues left behind from previous cleaning attempts. Grout will be restored to its original color and because there is no soapy, sticky residues left behind, the tile won't get slippery when wet.
Marketing Tile & Grout Cleaning
• Getting Ready for the Winter Blues?
Winter is definitely a much slower time for carpet cleaners. It will always pay off big time to think ahead and plan on a course of action that will give you alternate sources of business income and keep your trucks busy. We already know carpet cleaning is not on people's minds when snow is falling. Despite the conscientious office building manager which does maintain the carpet very well throughout the winter months, still most cleaners struggle. In fact they usually struggle a lot. Instead of dreading the winter for your business, spend some time with us here and seriously plan out what you will be doing. We have just the thing for you too: Tile & Grout Cleaning. If you already own this type of equipment, you're in good shape. If you do not, maybe you should consider it as a very inexpensive avenue for your business to do better this winter. Now is the time, guys. You have to think ahead and plan ahead and make contacts. We are here to help you keep busy, so read onward.
• Easier than you think!
Tile and Grout cleaning is simple to sell. It all starts with keeping your eyes wide open because stone flooring is everywhere! Anyone - whether it's a homeowner or a building maintenance guy - knows how difficult it is to maintain tile and grout. They've all tried scrubbing with it with brushes and keeping that grout clean. They just cannot do it... but YOU can! Tile and grout (like carpet) get murdered in the wintertime, and you can set up a maintenance program to keep it in great condition all year long.
After an initial cleaning, tile and grout is a snap to maintain, just like carpet. Every time is easier and easier, and you can charge less and make it more attractive for your customers. In homes, the kitchen is prime real estate in the winter because of the holidays. If your customer wants to put off the carpet cleaning, then cleaning the kitchen can be a nice fast job for you while maintaining a neat appearance for their visiting family and friends.
Now, how about businesses? Many stores, malls, doctors' offices, and other businesses have tile and grout to maintain somehow. The list is endless because like I said before: stone flooring is really everywhere. Maybe you just have not noticed yet. Start thinking guys. Everyone cleans carpet, but not everyone cleans tile and grout. It's simple to do, and we will work with you every step of the way to plan an effective marketing program to make this work for you.

Just ask any housewife who spends a lot of time in the kitchen and she will definitely tell you: they have tried and tried to keep the floor in good shape. Chances are, they probably have NO CLUE that there is a better method out there. They can go and rent or buy a carpet cleaning machine, but can they rent something that will clean the stone floors? I don't think so! |
• The demonstration sells it every time!
Every single time you are in a home or business, you MUST make the effort to offer a demonstration of tile and grout cleaning. That's really the very first necessary step. Even before you introduce the demo, make comments about the floor and ask them how they maintain it. Chances are, you will have your "in" right then and there.
Example:
"Wow, that's a really nice tile floor you have in the kitchen, Mrs. Bucket. Do you find it hard to keep the grout clean?"
"Yes, Mr. Truckmount Man; it's horrid. I never should have picked white. And it's pronounced 'Bouquet' dearie."
"Would you like to see a brand new tool and cleaning system I have that will restore that floor to new condition right before your eyes? It will take just five minutes and I will clean all in front of your sink there."
Try something like that. Explain to your customers that once they have you clean the floor initially, then regular future cleanings will be a lot cheaper because you will be maintaining it on a regular basis along with the carpet. You can even try to talk them into a maintenance program right then and there, but do focus on the money-saving benefits of it. During our tougher economy now, this will always assist your sale.
