Tile, grout and rotary floor scrubbing
Tile and grout deep cleaning in Singapore is S$140 to S$260 for one or two bathrooms, S$160 to S$280 for a greasy kitchen floor, and S$320 to S$580 for a full-flat rotary scrub of 800 to 1,400 sqft. Adding a clear fluoropolymer grout sealer after the scrub is S$420 to S$780. The method is 170°C steam and a mechanical brush, not muriatic acid, so chrome floor traps and glazed porcelain stay intact.

Black grout is usually soil, not a failed tile
Porous cement grout holds mop water and cooking oil. If the tile itself is loose, hollow or cracked, cleaning will not re-bond it. That is a repair.
| What you see | Likely cause | What to do first / typical cost |
|---|---|---|
| Bathroom grout has turned black, tiles still sound | Soap scum and hard water in the joint | Steam and descale, 1 to 2 bathrooms: S$140 to S$260 |
| Kitchen floor feels greasy after mopping | Emulsified oil in a textured tile | Mechanical scrub: S$160 to S$280 |
| The whole flat looks grey in a rental handover | Years of mop film on homogeneous tile | Rotary scrubber, 800 to 1,400 sqft: S$320 to S$580 |
| A tile sounds hollow when you tap it | The adhesive has let go | Stop scrubbing that tile and book tile repair |
2026 tile, grout and floor-scrubbing bands
When the joint needs new epoxy, not just a clean, use tile repair. A slippery wet bathroom that needs a treatment rather than a scrub is non-slip treatment. Post-renovation cement haze is post-renovation cleaning, not this scrub.

|---|---|---|
| Bathroom non-slip tile and blackened grout, 1 to 2 bathrooms | S$140 to S$260 | 170°C high-pressure steam plus hard-water calcium and soap-scum descaling. No muriatic acid on chrome traps or glazed porcelain. |

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is bathroom grout cleaning?
One or two bathrooms, with 170°C steam and calcium descaling, are S$140 to S$260. A kitchen grease scrub is S$160 to S$280.
Do you use acid on porcelain tiles?

When is it a tile repair instead?
A hollow, loose or cracked tile is not a cleaning job. Epoxy regrouting and tile replacement are on the tile repair page. Homey Furnishing Pte. Ltd. UEN 202018148K does the scrub. A hack-and-retile permit is V On Construction Pte. Ltd. UEN 201611708H.
