Our Techs Showcase Their Grout Sealing Skills While Revamping This Kitchen Floor in Middletown
November 07, 2024
A beautiful kitchen can be a source of comfort and inspiration, so it's reasonable to feel genuinely upset when we can't get the desired result in our cleaning routine. A homeowner in Middletown loved the appearance of her kitchen floor, so she didn't want it to look anything less than flawless. She'd tried different ways to remove the embedded dirt on the grout, but the result was lackluster at best. The soiled grout looked unhygienic and drew attention away from the tiles' elegant design.She went to her socials to ask for guidance on restoration companies in the area, and some of her contacts introduced her to Sir Grout of New Castle County. Our website's content was everything she'd hoped for and more, so the homeowner had no trouble finding more details about our grout sealing service in Middletown. She then gave us a call to schedule an appointment with us, and our agent gladly assisted her through the process.
On the agreed-upon date, our experts visited her home to evaluate the kitchen floor, and the homeowner recognized the identification on their vehicle right away. For the most part, the tiles looked as beautiful as ever, though our specialists could still see some faint marks on the ceramic. The main problem, however, was that the grout had been unsealed for a while and grime had seeped into the pores during that time. Since the grout lines' color wasn't uniform, they drew a lot of unwanted attention, making the floor look neglected.
It didn't take long for our crew to conclude that a sealing service was the best solution, so they offered their services after trying their pH-neutral cleaner on a portion of the grout. Delighted by their expertise, the homeowner jumped at the chance as soon as they were done explaining the process.
A few days later, she welcomed them back into their house, where they began preparing their equipment for the restoration. For the first step, our specialists soaked the floor with their permeating cleaner and used a high-speed scrubber to remove the dirt as it got loose. They ensured that all parts of the floor were spotless before getting ready to seal the grout.
Then, they used light gray sealant to make the grout lines match the tiles' pattern. Our ColorSeal is the ideal solution to protect cement-based grout and make routine cleaning more effective. Thanks to its acrylic-based formula, this sealant withstands months' worth of activity in high-traffic areas, repelling water, food residue, grime, and all the dirt caused by foot traffic.
Our techs buffed the floor after completing that step and showed the result to the client. The floor looked beautiful in all its soft colors, and the grout complimented the tiles' rich design. The homeowner was fully satisfied with our work and thanked our crew for providing such excellent results.
Before leaving the client's house, our experts shared some additional cleaning tips, and she eagerly welcomed their advice. To prevent grout damage and discoloration to the tiles, they recommended using pH-neutral formulas like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Our product enhances the beauty of your floors without subjecting the surface to any of the common side effects of soap-based cleaners. This means that there's no soapy residue on the tiles or abrasive ingredients weakening the sealant's protection on the grout. Homeowners can keep a hygienic environment and save time during their chores because our cleaner removes all the stains, eliminating the need to mix different formulas.
As our techs told the client, pH-neutral cleaners work best when combined with non-abrasive tools like a mop, a towel, or a terry cloth. Sharper tools can scratch the tiles and ruin the ceramic's design, on top of risking structural damage to the floors. Instead, you can use fabric-based items to wipe out the dirt without leaving traces of it between the grout.
When it comes to the right environment to prevent the growth of mold, we always remind clients to open the windows and doors so all parts of the house get enough fresh air during the day. This is a simple way to improve the air quality and create a nicer environment for people and pets.
