Our Grout Cleaning Specialists Made This Shower in Lewes Look Spotless

November 25, 2024

Homeowners are familiar with the pains of dealing with a soiled shower, and in many cases, they can't fully enjoy their cleaning results before seeing new traces of mold between the tiles. This was the case for a Lewes resident after weeks of trying to prevent the discoloration of his shower floor. He felt like it wouldn't be long before the problem started affecting other parts of the shower, so he began looking for a grout cleaning service in Lewes to assist him.


At first, his online searches had focused on finding new cleaners to replace the products he'd been using on the shower, but the owner changed the terms of the search when that didn't work. From there, it didn't take long for him to find what he'd been looking for; it wasn't hard to see why Sir Grout of Sussex County was so popular among homeowners in the area, and he was particularly impressed by the results in our picture gallery. After contacting one of our agents via phone call, he secured an appointment with our crew to hopefully find a solution for his shower.

As scheduled, our specialists went to his house a few days later for an in-home evaluation, and they were immediately led to the shower stall. White ceramic tiles covered both the walls and the floor, so all traces of dirt instantly became a sore spot on the shower's appearance. As the homeowner had explained earlier, the stains were more prominent on the floor, where mold clung to the grout and the tiles took a dull yellowy shade from all the mineral residue. There were also small cracks on different parts of the horizontal seams, so our techs knew that they had to make the necessary repairs before sealing the grout lines on the floor. They also needed to deep clean the entire shower stall to address the stains that were already embedded in the wall's grout. Our experts shared all these findings with the homeowner and offered to complete the restoration at a later date before leaving his home.

They returned two days later, at the client's request, and started preparing the shower area upon entering the bathroom. Before anything else, our techs needed to remove all the mold and soap scum from the grout, so they soaked every surface with a pH-neutral formula and used a 275-degree vapor cleaner to remove all the embedded dirt.

Next, our crew removed the damaged caulking and regrouted the seams with our powerful epoxy solution, effectively preventing the absorption of water and mold. The homeowner wanted the grout to match the tiles, so our specialists applied white sealant to all the grout lines on the walls and the floors. Thanks to our acrylic-based ColorSeal, grout surfaces can stay spotless for much longer because there's a powerful barrier warding off external elements and liquids at all times of the day.

With this, our team completed another successful restoration. The homeowner was in awe when he saw his beautiful shower and marveled at the grout's transformation for a long time. He also promised to tell more people about the wonders of our grout restoration process.

Near the end of their visit, our experts went over some additional cleaning tips with the homeowner. They started by recommending pH-neutral products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner to prevent issues like discoloration and embedded mold. While generic cleaners only add to a long list of harmful external elements, our product removes all the stains more effectively and in less time, without ever exposing hard surfaces to harsh ingredients. It works against mold, mildew, and efflorescence, leaving your shower looking pristine after every cleaning session. You can use our product in any part of your home without worrying about toxic fumes, and the result stays on your bathroom surfaces for much longer.

Our second recommendation was to avoid using steel wools to scrub off the dirt since they're prone to scratching the tiles after leaving some residue behind. Instead, it's best to use only non-abrasive tools when cleaning ceramic tile and grout surfaces, so you can remove all traces of dirt in little time with just a towel or a squeegee.

The success of all these cleaning tips has a lot to do with the overall hygiene of your bathroom spaces. It's no wonder that so many homeowners find mold on their shower despite cleaning every surface every week. Poor indoor ventilation has a part to play in the deterioration of shower surfaces, which is why we always recommend opening the windows and doors to improve the air quality and fight the effects of moisture buildup.
