Drying Times For Tile & Grout

  • Typical dry time: 30 minutes to 2 hours

  • Grout lines may stay damp slightly longer depending on humidity and airflow

  • Boost drying: Use fans, open doors/windows, or run the HVAC system for better air circulation

💡 Floors can usually be walked on right away with clean shoes—but avoid dragging furniture until fully dry

Why Do Restaurants Tile & Grout Cleaning Cost More Than Residential?

  • Grease & Grime

  • Restaurant kitchen floors collect layers of grease, oil, and food residue that seep into grout lines over time.

  • This requires stronger degreasers, more dwell time, and sometimes agitation with rotary tools or grout brushes.

  • Size & Severity

  • Restaurant tile is often non-slip or quarry tile, which is rougher and more porous than home tiles.

  • Floors are usually larger, with more traffic and higher contamination levels (think back-of-house areas, dish pits, food prep zones).

  • Off Hour Scheduling

  • Restaurants typically need cleanings done after hours (late night or early morning), which adds labor logistics and may raise cost.

Why Restaurants Should Clean Tile & Grout Regularly

  • Keeps floors safe, clean, and non-slip

  • Prevents grease buildup in kitchens and service areas

  • Improves appearance in dining spaces

  • Helps meet health code and inspection standards

  • Extends the life of your flooring investment
