Our Specialists Transformed a Bathroom Floor in New Castle With Their Grout Sealing Process

October 31, 2024

A homeowner in New Castle wanted to revamp her guest bathroom before inviting some relatives to stay at her house for the holidays. Her guest rooms and bathrooms got as much care as any other part of the house, but the bathroom floor still looked soiled and neglected, with dirt clinging to the grout and gradually spreading to the tiles' porous surface.


She tried switching from store-bought cleaners to homemade solutions but stopped after the first try, so the next step was enlisting the expertise of a hard surface professional. The homeowner found Sir Grout of New Castle County while searching for grout sealing services in New Castle online and was impressed by our long string of success stories. After checking the picture gallery and other parts of our website, she headed to the online scheduler to ask for an in-home evaluation, feeling more confident about her chances of restoring the bathroom floor.

On the appointed date, our experts went to her house, and the homeowner recognized their uniforms and Sir Grout's logo on the vehicle. She led our techs to the guest bathroom, where they immediately began inspecting the floor. From the amount of embedded grime, it was safe to say that the grout had sat unsealed for at least a few months. The tiles had also been affected, even when the ceramic's color helped conceal some of the stains.

When the client listed the products she tried in the past, our specialists explained that the residue of soap-based cleaners keeps much of the dirt stuck on the grout pores. Vinegar is a common DIY solution, but its acidic imbalances are more likely to corrode tile and grout surfaces in a relatively short time. Our techs tried their pH-neutral cleaner on a portion of the grout and promised that the floor wouldn't be subjected to harsh treatment after showing the result to the client. They also explained that sealant was essential to keep high-traffic surfaces from getting dirty over time since stains are to be expected when you consider the porous nature of cement-based grout. By this point, the client was convinced that our restoration method was the answer, so she immediately asked for a new appointment with our crew.

Following her request, our team returned to the house a couple of days later with the necessary equipment for the restoration. They deep cleaned the floor with their non-toxic formula and ran a high-speed scrubber several times to catch all the embedded dirt.

The next step was sealing the grout, so our specialists applied ColorSeal after ensuring that there were no traces of grime on the grout. Our signature sealant provides all the protection you need to keep a stain-free grout, and it's available in multiple colors to make the end result match any color scheme. The homeowner wanted the grout to match the ceramic's soft beige shades, so our experts recolored the grout lines accordingly. The result was a spotless grout and lasting protection against grime, foot traffic, soap, and more.

Our crew showed the result to the client, and she couldn't be happier with our work on the floor. The entire surface looked amazing, especially the grout now that the lines blended in perfectly with the tiles. The homeowner promised to contact us again whenever she needed to revamp other parts of her home and to recommend our services to everyone she knew.

At the end of each appointment, our experts always share some additional pointers to help clients get the desired results in their cleaning routines. They started by telling the homeowner to try pH-neutral cleaners like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Our product not only sidesteps the worst side effects of regular products; it also provides maximum cleaning power to optimize your own cleaning schedule. Its effectiveness is evident when you try it on bathroom surfaces and other high-traffic areas because it removes large stains and embedded dirt quickly without requiring the use of any other formulas. Our cleaner is the ideal solution to take your cleaning routine to the next level.

Our techs went on to explain that there's no need to use countless cleaning tools to do a thorough job. As long as you avoid abrasive equipment and wash your tools regularly, there's no need to worry about causing damage to the tiles, and pH-neutral products already do half the job by getting the dirt loose on the surface without any soapy residue. Our experts ended the appointment with a reminder to keep the bathroom properly ventilated, and the client thanked them for all their assistance during the restoration.
