A Homeowner in Middletown Was Thrilled After Our Grout Cleaning Crew Restored His Floors

June 21, 2024

A homeowner in Middletown was getting overwhelmed as he saw the dirt pile up on his kitchen floor. Days passed and he encountered more and more stains that couldn't be scrubbed off the normal way, so it only took a couple of weeks for the surface to turn several shades darker. When the problem spread from the kitchen to the dining room area, the homeowner knew that he needed professional assistance.


He'd expected his search to take a while but, as it turns out, it wasn't hard to recognize the best solution the moment he came across Sir Grout of New Castle County. From the get-go, the homeowner wanted to learn more about our grout cleaning service in Middletown and his eagerness only grew when he perused our picture gallery and spotted surfaces that resembled his kitchen floor.

With his mind set on the matter, the homeowner filled out the online form to request an in-home evaluation, and our techs responded right away. On the agreed-upon date, they were at his doorstep, ready to inspect his floors. During their assessment, they noticed how the embedded dirt concealed the colors and textures in the ceramic, taking away from the tiles' unique beauty. The grout in both the kitchen and the dining room floor was black from all the embedded grime, so our techs quickly confirmed that the porous surface had gone unsealed for a while.


The most effective way to deal with the problem was with a thorough restoration process. As our techs explained, Sir Grout's method is tailored to stand the test of time while protecting hard surfaces through hours of wear and tear. The client listened after they went over each step before agreeing to a new appointment so our crew could revamp his floors.

At his request, our experts returned a couple of days later with everything they needed to complete the restoration. They cleaned the floors with a surface-safe product and a high-speed scrubber, making sure that all traces of dirt were eliminated before they started working on the grout.

Then, our specialists used Sir Grout's flagship ColorSeal to bring back the grout's former beauty. Among other things, our sealant guarantees lasting protection to keep external elements from seeping into the grout pores, repelling soil, grime, food residue, grease, and more. By the time our techs removed the sealant's residue, the grout perfectly blended with the tiles and helped highlight the lighter shades on the ceramic.

After buffing the kitchen and dining room floor multiple times, our crew was ready to show off the result. The floors looked gorgeous and the client was ecstatic with the quality of our restoration services. He took his time admiring the result and promised to tell more people about Sir Grout of New Castle County.

While getting ready to leave the house, our experts took a moment to share some additional tips with the client. First, they reminded him of the many side effects of traditional cleaners, stating that they're far from the best choice for the maintenance of high-traffic surfaces. Instead, they recommended using pH-neutral products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner to get the best result. This unique formula ensures that all traces of dirt are eliminated without leaving any residue on your floors. It also works without affecting the sealant's protection and you won't get exposed to toxic fumes in the meantime, so there are really no drawbacks if you want to try it out.

Our second recommendation for clients is to be mindful of the tools used for scrubbing off the dirt. A steel wool will scratch the ceramic and likely leave residue between the tiles. You'll get more precise results while using non-abrasive tools like a mop, a towel, or a terry cloth.

Now, this is all important but a damp environment will still hinder a household's cleaning routine, so our last recommendation for the client was to look into the ventilation inside his kitchen area. It's easier to encourage a safer environment once you make a habit of opening the windows and doors every day. Multiple sources of fresh air give you more room to counter the effects of moisture buildup, and you'll get all the comfort you expect from your living spaces.
