Our Tile and Grout Cleaners Fully Transformed This Bathroom Floor in Greenville

June 06, 2024

A soiled floor can easily undo weeks' worth of scrubbing when your cleaning products fail to do their part. Case in point, a homeowner in Greenville never fell behind in her cleaning routine, so she was at a loss when she ran out of ideas to restore her floor's natural beauty. The homeowner had always loved the pattern that the hex tiles created on the bathroom floor so it was upsetting to see such a downgrade.


Despite having heard of different DIY tips to deal with the problem, she didn't want to make a hasty decision. The more she thought about it, she grew more convinced that getting a professional's opinion was the most sensible way to deal with the problem. Luckily, her first online search revealed the answer she'd been hoping for; the homeowner was eager to contact Sir Grout of New Castle County after reading about our tile and grout cleaners in Greenville, so she filled out our website's online form to request an appointment.

Our techs responded right away. At her convenience, they visited the house a couple of days later for an in-home evaluation, and the homeowner greeted them right after seeing the identification on their vehicle. Our crew inspected the bathroom floor, taking note of the brown stains that spread across the grout lines. The discoloration put a damper on the tiles' elegant design, making it look dull and lifeless. Moreover, wear and tear had affected the floor to the point that part of the grout had started to go loose.

While listing their findings for the homeowner, they explained that traditional cleaners do a subpar job of removing embedded dirt. Because of a high concentration of soap and other chemical ingredients, these products are more likely to corrode the surface and open the pores to more damage over time. That's why our techs needed to use their professional equipment to fix the grout and deep clean the entire surface. The client made some follow-up questions but, beyond that, she was fully on board with the plan we proposed for the restoration.

The following day, she welcomed our specialists for a second time after they arrived at her home for the restoration. They started by soaking the bathroom floor with a permeating cleaner that got the dirt loose in minutes. Then, our techs ran a high-speed scrubber several times to eliminate all the stains.

Once the floor was free of embedded dirt, it was time to seal the grout. Our experts applied ColorSeal to all the grout lines, using white sealant to match the hex tiles. Thanks to Sir Grout's ColorSeal, grout surfaces can stay spotless after hours of foot traffic and homeowners have less trouble removing the stains because nothing becomes adhered to the pores. To repair the areas where the grout had been damaged, our crew installed our epoxy mix, leaving all the grout lines protected against water, mold, mildew, soap residue, and more.

The client was asked to review the result after our team was done buffing the surface. The floor had regained that high-end look that caught her eye when she bought her house and she couldn't be happier. She praised our work on the grout and promised to recommend our services to all her acquaintances in Greenville.

Our specialists had some additional tips to go over before ending the appointment. As they explained during their visit, pH-neutral cleaners are the surest way to preserve the beauty of high-traffic surfaces like the client's bathroom floor. When you use Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner, you don't have to worry about subjecting your floors to harsh treatment and discoloration stops being an issue. Our product combines only the best ingredients to remove all the embedded dirt. It won't create a soapy film on top of your surfaces and your household won't be subjected to toxic fumes each time you need to work on your chores.

We also recommend clients to avoid using steel wools and similar tools that could scratch the tiles upon scrubbing. The most effective approach involves using a clean mop or a towel to scrub off the dirt without leaving any residue behind. Lastly, our experts recommended to open the bathroom door and the windows nearby to boost the circulation of fresh air. Good indoor ventilation will work wonders on your cleaning routine, preventing the spread of mold and preserving a hygienic environment in your bathroom area.
