How Much Does Grout Cleaning Cost in Montgomery County?

If you’ve been frustrated by dark, dingy grout lines that won’t come clean—no matter how often you mop—you’re not alone. One of the most common questions we get at Beyond Clean Tile is: How much does professional grout cleaning cost?

The answer depends on several factors, including the condition of your floors, the size of the area, and whether or not you opt for advanced services like grout color sealing. In this post, we’ll break down everything you need to know so you can make an informed decision.

Average Grout Cleaning Prices in Montgomery County keeping floors clean

Here’s a general idea of what you can expect to pay for tile and grout cleaning in Montgomery County (including The Woodlands, Conroe, Montgomery, and Spring):

Service Type/Estimated Cost

Tile & Grout Cleaning $0.65 – $1.50 per sq ft

Tile & Grout Cleaning + Clear Seal $1.10 – $2.00 per sq ft

Tile & Grout Cleaning + Color Seal $1.75 – $3.00 per sq ft

Typical job size: Most homes have 300–2,000 sq ft of tile. So costs typically range from $350 to $1,800+, depending on what your floors need.

What Impacts the Price of Grout Cleaning?

1. Type of Tile

The material of your tile significantly affects cleaning complexity and cost. Ceramic and porcelain tiles are generally straightforward to clean. In contrast, natural stones like marble, travertine, and limestone are softer and more susceptible to wear and acid damage. These stones may require refinishing using diamond abrasives, which can cost at least three times more than basic cleaning.

2. Square Footage

Smaller areas often have a higher price per square foot due to costs like travel time and equipment setup. Reputable companies may have a minimum charge to cover these expenses.

3. Accessibility and Layout

Spaces where tile and grout surfaces are contiguous are quicker to clean. Fragmented areas or those requiring crossing over other flooring types may necessitate additional setup time, such as laying tarps in walkways to prevent tracking chemical and dirt onto adjacent flooring.

4. Maintenance History and Additional Efforts

Floors with improper sealing or existing floor polish may require extra steps, like stripping off substances, leading to additional costs.

5. Furniture Considerations

The presence of furniture can impact the cleaning process. If furniture isn’t easily movable, working around it in tight spaces may increase labor time and, consequently, the overall cost.

6. Travel Time and Local Pricing Advantage

Hiring a local cleaning company can be more cost-effective. Reduced travel time translates to lower associated costs. Some services have minimum charge rates to ensure comprehensive and high-quality cleaning results.
