A Homeowner in Edgewater Loves the Look of Her Floor After Our Grout Cleaning Process

December 17, 2024

Even the most beautiful parts of your home will show signs of decay after being exposed to harsh cleaners for too long. For a while, a homeowner in Edgewater suspected that her cleaners were not the best choice to get all the dirt off the floor in her master bathroom. That suspicion only got stronger as the grout stopped matching the tiles, making the floor look unhygienic despite her best efforts to preserve its color.


The homeowner tried replacing her cleaners with other off-the-counter products but gave up on that approach not long after seeing the effect on the grout. By then, she was convinced that regular cleaners were off the table. She decided to look for professional grout cleaning services in Edgewater and that's how she found Sir Grout Annapolis online. She was impressed by our picture gallery and the glowing reviews left by previous customers, so it didn't take too long for her to reach out to us specialists via our online scheduler.

At her convenience, our crew went to her house later that week to inspect the bathroom floor. They could tell that the homeowner had done her best to keep it spotless, but signs of discoloration were visible all over the grout and on the tiles' textured surface. They also asked standard questions about the homeowner's cleaning routine and the foot traffic in that part of the house. In turn, when the homeowner asked about the effects of traditional cleaners, our experts explained the problems that affect stone surfaces after long periods of exposure to harsh ingredients. While there was no lasting damage to the surface, the grout had absorbed a lot of dirt in the months it sat unsealed, creating those light brown stains that ruined the floor's uniform coloring. The client listened closely as our techs gave her a rundown of Sir Grout's restoration methods before scheduling a new appointment.

On the agreed-upon date, she welcomed our techs back into her home so they could start working on the floor. First, they prepared the master bathroom and began deep cleaning the floor's ceramic tile surface. They used a pH-neutral cleaner and a high-speed scrubber to remove all the embedded dirt between the tiles, paying special attention to all traces of grime and soap on the grout pores. After making several laps across the large master bathroom, they were ready to start the grout's restoration.

At this point, our specialists applied ColorSeal to bring back the grout's pristine white color. Beyond its esthetic benefits, our sealant also provides the best protection against external elements, warding off soap, soil, grime, mold, mildew, and more. With our sealant in place, you can keep the grout looking smooth and spotless for weeks, even in the most active parts of the house.

Our expert also applied tile sealant to the rest of the floor so the beautiful ceramic surface could look vibrant for much longer. Then, they called the homeowner back into the bathroom so she could assess the end result. The floor looked gorgeous and she was fully pleased with the grout's restoration, so she immediately promised to recommend our services to more people in Edgewater.

Here are some useful recommendations to improve the maintenance of tile and grout surfaces. As our specialists told the client, pH-neutral formulas like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner are the most effective alternative to avoid the effects of bleach and other chemical products. On its own, our cleaner manages to keep your floors glowing at all times while removing the most stubborn stains without excessive scrubbing.

Another way to avoid harsh treatment on delicate stone surfaces is by using non-abrasive tools like fresh towels, a mop, or a terry cloth. This is particularly important in areas where scratch marks would be hard to hide. Our techs also recommended to keep an eye on the room's ventilation and to leave the door ajar if there were signs of moisture buildup around the seams.
