A Shower in Milford Shows the Effectiveness of Our Grout Cleaning Process

October 10, 2024

The state of a shower can say a lot about a person's cleaning routine. A homeowner in Milford thought of this each time he completed his chores without managing to remove all the dirt on his shower surfaces. The shower in his master bathroom had a modest design that served to make it appear larger and more comfortable, but the effect was fully lost thanks to the stains on the walls and the mold that was embedded in the seams.


Any progress the homeowner managed to make was undone in a matter of days since much of the dirt couldn't be scrapped off with regular tools. That's why he decided to contact a grout cleaning service in Milford after nearly a month of unsuccessful cleaning attempts. He found Sir Grout of Sussex County at the start of his first online search, and his mind was made soon after, so he used the website's scheduler to get in touch with our crew.

Following his request, our specialists visited the house a few days later for an in-home evaluation, arriving in an identified vehicle that the owner spotted right away. They were led to the shower, and the soiled seams caught their attention right away. Most of the grout was stained in some way, but the corner joints had collected most of the mold, so it was no wonder that our crew found cracks and other signs of damage later in the process. Soap scum ran across all the walls, leaving a sticky layer that spread across most of the shower and did little to improve its appearance. Unfortunately, the minerals in hard water will progressively damage the surface, which is why unsealed grout can't stay spotless for long. The homeowner already suspected that some of his cleaners had added to the issue, so he immediately accepted our offer to use Sir Grout's cleaning equipment in the shower.

On the agreed-upon date, our techs returned to the house for the restoration. For the first step, they used a pH-neutral cleaner to get the dirt loose before carefully scrubbing off all the mold and soap scum. To ensure that all the stains were eliminated, they also used a 275-degree vapor cleaner across the entire stall, including harder-to-reach areas.

As shown during the evaluation, parts of the grout had gone loose, so our specialists regrouted the seams with a powerful epoxy solution. Our epoxy grout resists water and mold to ensure that nothing seeps behind the tiles. It's the surest way to prevent structural damage in the long run.

Next, they used Sir Grout's flagship sealant on the walls and the floor until all the grout lines looked uniform and spotless. ColorSeal is the solution to protect grout surfaces so you can truly showcase the beauty of your shower. It wards off water, soap scum, mold, and grime, and even protects against exposure to UV rays. You can keep the grout looking amazing for months without having to add extra steps to your weekly cleaning routine.

With this, our specialists completed the restoration, and the shower looked incredible. The homeowner was in awe when he saw the transformation, marveling at the tiles' beauty and our work on the seams. He praised our team's expertise and promised to contact us again to revamp other high-traffic areas inside his house.

Our techs had some additional tips to share before leaving the client's home. When he asked about ways to replace generic cleaners for good, they recommended pH-neutral products as the best option available. Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner has many advantages that set it apart from other products like bleach, soap-based cleaners, and DIY solutions. For starters, it removes the dirt much more thoroughly, so there's no need to mix different cleaners while going about your chores. It also works without contaminating your spaces with toxic fumes, and your hard surfaces won't be exposed to harsh ingredients every week. This means that you can safely use our product in any part of the house, and the result will always be amazing; your tile and grout surfaces will look as good as new, with no signs of discoloration to alter their appearance in the long run.

The rest of our recommendations focused on providing the right conditions to prevent mold, bad odors around the seams, and other hygienic issues that usually affect bathroom surfaces. Our specialists instructed the client to open the windows and the bathroom door at least a few hours a day since it's always important to counter moisture buildup. To address this issue directly, you can also use a towel or a squeegee to wipe out any liquid residue left by soap and hard water. Otherwise, there's a higher chance of finding mold and sticky spots on all shower surfaces.

You can count on Sir Grout of Sussex County to make your shower look amazing, even after it's been subjected to harsh cleaners and moisture buildup. Our hard surface restoration method is tailored to address common issues like mold, discoloration, damaged caulking, and more, so you can get a solution for multiple problems in one single visit, and results that last for a long time.
