Our Crew Impressed a Homeowner in Stuart with Their Tile Cleaning Process

October 21, 2024

The floor of a residential shower in Stuart had collected a lot of damage in a relatively short time. While the homeowner never failed to complete his cleaning routine, the grout on the floor had grown orange after absorbing water and minerals. This made the shower look unhygienic and posed a risk to its structural integrity if the problem was left unattended for too long.


At first, the homeowner had hoped to deal with the stains with the products he was familiar with, but he eventually accepted that a professional was the best choice to address the damage to the grout. He started looking for options online and came across our tile cleaning service in Stuart almost immediately. Our content looked promising initially, but he didn't want to rush his decision after reading as much as he could about Sir Grout of Jupiter, the homeowner, finally contacted us via the website's contact form.

At his request, our experts visited his house a couple of days later for an in-home evaluation. They arrived in an identified vehicle and had Sir Grout's logo on their uniform, so the client had no trouble recognizing them. The inspection revealed many issues on the floor, like a soapy film that spread across most of the tiles and small cracks in the seams. The grout had absorbed a lot of liquid, so it was likely that the sealant had faded weeks before.

The best action was to clean the entire shower deep and make the necessary repairs on the floor, or the damage could only pile up on the grout. After hearing our crew's assessment, the homeowner asked about their availability to return later that week for the restoration, and they immediately agreed to his request.

On the appointed date, the client led our techs back to the bathroom, where they immediately began the restoration. They started by scrubbing off the embedded dirt after using a surface-safe cleaner on every part of the shower. They also steam-cleaned the shower stall to eliminate all the mold.

Next, they made the necessary repairs to the seams, applying epoxy grout to the areas that suffered the worst effects of wear and tear. The homeowner missed the sight of a spotless white floor, so our specialists recolored the grout to match the ceramic tiles, giving the surface a smooth, pristine appearance. Our acrylic-based ColorSeal is ideal for preserving the grout's color on high-traffic surfaces because it repels external elements and liquids, keeping them away from the grout pores.

This marked the end of the restoration, and the homeowner couldn't be happier with the result. All the stains had been eliminated, and the floor brought life back to the bathroom after our work on the grout. He thanked our crew for their hard work and promised to share his experience with his friends and relatives in Stuart.

We know shower cleaning can become a real struggle despite homeowners' best intentions, which is why our techs left the client with several tips to help him improve his cleaning routine. They started by recommending Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner as the ideal solution to replace bleach and soap-based cleaners. Our product's formula combines the best ingredients to provide maximum cleaning power and minimize damage to tile and grout surfaces. This is possible because pH-neutral cleaners have no acidic imbalances that make traditional formulas so dangerous in the long run. It provides the results you'd usually get after using multiple products and works without exposing you or your loved ones to toxic fumes.

Our experts also warned against using abrasive tools on shower surfaces since they can easily aggravate any signs of damage to the seams. These tools are known for scratching the tiles, so they're not the best choice when scrubbing any trace of embedded dirt. To save you the hassle and get even better results, you can use a towel, a terry cloth, or a squeegee.

Lastly, our techs gave a general reminder to open the windows and doors to keep the air from stale. A stuffy bathroom is much more likely to get moldy around the joints, giving you more work when removing any lingering stickiness.
