Tile and Grout Cleaning Cost
Tile and grout cleaning costs $190 to $250 for a 200 square foot area of ceramic tile with light soiling, before your ZIP code is applied. Tile material and current condition both shift the price meaningfully, with natural stone and heavily neglected grout both pushing well past that baseline.

What changes the price
Questions people ask before booking
How much does tile and grout cleaning cost?
For a 200 square foot area with ceramic tile and light soiling, cost runs $190 to $250. Larger areas and pricier tile materials, like natural stone, push the total higher, with a published national average around $480 for a typical project.
Does the type of tile change the cleaning price?
Yes. Ceramic is the least expensive to clean per square foot. Porcelain runs a bit more, saltillo more still, and natural stone the most, since stone requires gentler, pH-balanced products and more careful technique to avoid etching or damage.
How much does neglected grout cost to clean versus lightly soiled?
About 55% more for the same tile and area. Years of buildup require more aggressive pre-treatment and multiple passes, which takes real additional time compared to a lightly soiled surface.
Is grout sealing included in a tile and grout cleaning?
No, sealing is priced and scoped separately, typically as an add-on to the same visit. See our grout sealing page for clear sealer versus color sealing pricing specifically.
What does soap scum removal cost on top of regular cleaning?
About $28 to $48, priced as a flat add-on regardless of the overall condition tier, since soap scum and hard water deposits need a different treatment approach than general grime.
If the grout is stained or discolored rather than just dirty, cleaning alone may not fully restore its look. Ask about color sealing at the same visit if that is the actual goal, since it solves a different problem than a deep clean does.
