Cleaning the house and cleaning new ceramic – porcealin tile?

I just had my house renovated. I had the house which is 1600 sq feet completely re-tiles with porcelain ceramic tiles. I had the walls in the bathrooms tiled also. I also had the entire house re-painted.

Now the cleanup. I am having a cleaning company come today. 2 girls to clean the entire house and windows for $160.00

She told me that it would take them both a total of 5 hours. I think $160.00 is reasonable. She said that they are bringing a machine (or machines) to clean the tile. The machine gets up to 95 degrees farenheit (she can adjust the temperature)

I am scared with my new tiles. There is some paint on the tiles and on the grout from the painting though.

The tiles are also dirty from the major renovations thatI had as well. Any thoughts or suggestions?

I am looking for a one piece bath tub surround to fit a large (73″x36″) jet tub?

I have a 73″ x 36″ tub and would like a one piece tub surround. So far talking to Rona, Home Depot, and many more plus bathroom renovators…..the only one that can provide me with a one piece surround is Bath Fitters ($3000!!!!) I was hoping to find a solution for about half that amount (or less). I have installed a product called aqua floor (a bathroom product that installed like lino for tub surround uses) in a previous renovation, but, can’t seem to aquire that product anymore from my local vendors. Does anybody have an alternate solution for me other than tile or is there maybe even a product that you can apply (like paint or something) directly to the wall, that will work like a tub surround?
