Kitchen grout takes cooking oil, food spills and foot traffic all at once, and the wide joints had gone grey-brown near the range and sink. ![Before and after large-format porcelain kitchen floor and grout cleaning in Mesa AZ by Lazona Tile Care](/__l5e/assets-v1/8d808915-4337-436e-8261-edda18923f4d/large-format-porcelain-kitchen-mesa.jpg) Large-format porcelain kitchen floor - Mesa, AZ (before / after) ## Project Snapshot City Mesa, AZ Surface Large-format porcelain, wide cement joints Condition Greasy discoloration at range and sink Scope Degrease, deep clean, color restoration Warranty 15-Year Warranty on the color seal ## The Condition We Found Airborne cooking oil settles on kitchen floors and binds fine soil into the grout, which is why kitchen joints darken faster than the rest of the house. Wide joints hold more soil and are more visible, so any inconsistency stands out under kitchen lighting. Oil-bound soil does not respond to ordinary mopping or to store-bought grout cleaners. ## The Restoration Process, Step by Step 1. ### 1. Degreasing pre-treatment An alkaline degreaser is dwelled into the joints specifically to break the oil film before any water is introduced. 2. ### 2. 220F cleaning with contained extraction Heat is what releases oil-bound soil. Contained pressure plus immediate vacuum extraction removes it from the kitchen instead of spreading it. 3. ### 3. Repair check at high-wear points Joints at the range, sink and transitions are checked for pitting or loss and repaired before any sealing work. 4. ### 4. Grout color restoration Wide joints are color restored to one uniform tone and capped so future grease and spills stay on the surface. ## The Result - Grease-bound discoloration removed and the kitchen floor sanitized. - Wide joints finished in one uniform color across the whole kitchen. - Sealed joints make future cooking spills a wipe-up instead of a stain. - 15-Year Warranty on the color seal. Kitchen grout is a grease problem before it is a dirt problem. Degreasing and heat handle the sanitation; color restoration is what holds the finish for years. ## Mesa Homeowner Questions ### Why is kitchen grout always the worst grout in the house? Cooking oil becomes airborne, settles on the floor and glues fine soil into the porous grout. That oil bond is why kitchen joints resist normal mopping. ### Does large-format tile need different cleaning? The tile is the same, but large format means fewer, wider joints. Wider joints hold more soil and show tone differences more clearly, which makes uniform color restoration more important. ### How long before the kitchen can be used again? Floors are walkable the same day. We give exact re-use timing on site based on the sealer applied and the room's ventilation. ## Want This Result On Your Surface?
