Our Grout Cleaning Specialists Exceeded All Expectations After Restoring These Bathroom Surfaces in Rochester

June 03, 2024

A couple in Rochester felt exhausted after weeks of intensive cleaning and lackluster results. Despite their joint efforts, they hadn't managed to make a breakthrough on any part of the master bathroom. The ceramic floor had been soiled to the point that its original color was altered, and the shower stall kept gathering new stains, not to mention the cracks on the floor seams.


The couple knew that contacting a professional was the safest option but they didn't know anyone in the area. Luckily, many of their acquaintances had sought Sir Grout Macomb in the past and they all pointed the couple in the right direction. The homeowners were pretty optimistic after hearing the same thing from different people in their circle but they still went online to read more about our grout cleaning service in Rochester. The results of their research only increased their eagerness to get in touch with our crew, so they filled in the form to request an in-home evaluation that same day.

As per the couple's request, our specialists went to their home before the end of that week to check the master bathroom. They listened attentively as the clients described their previous cleaning attempts and inspected every inch of the bathroom floor before repeating the process in the shower stall. The former had marks of foot traffic, and the dirt had seeped into the porous surface to the point that it was impossible to appreciate the tiles' layout. Meanwhile, white stains ran across the shower walls and the edges of the floor, giving the stall a very unhygienic look. The cracks on the seams were also concerning, and our techs confirmed that the grout had absorbed a lot of water and soap residue over the past few weeks.


Confirming the couple's suspicions, our techs declared that regular cleaners would do little to solve the problem. In fact, the chemicals in these products were more likely to corrode the surface and open the pores to more external agents. The best course of action was to use Sir Grout's equipment to deep clean each surface before making the necessary repairs to the grout. Our experts also offered to seal the rest of the grout to prevent new stains in such a busy part of the house. The homeowners agreed with this plan and scheduled a new appointment for the restoration.

The very next day, they returned to the house to work on the bathroom. First, they used clear plastic and masking tape to prepare all the affected areas and readied all their equipment. They used a permeating cleaner to remove all traces of dirt from the shower and the bathroom floor. Then, our techs steam cleaned the shower stall to eliminate the mold that had seeped into harder-to-reach areas like the corner joints and the seams below the shower seat.

It was time to repair the damage to the seams, so our specialists installed water-resistant epoxy grout after removing all the old caulk. This left the joints looking as good as new, and there was no way to tell that the surface was falling apart moments before.

Next, our crew applied ColorSeal to the rest of the grout, including the shower walls and the bathroom floor. In both cases, they used white sealant to enhance the color contrast between the grout and the tiles, making the grout lines look more refined in the process. Besides making the grout look amazing, our sealant also creates a barrier that wards off external elements, so liquids, dirt, and other external elements have no way of getting into the grout pores.

For the last step, our crew buffed the floor until all the tiles glowed softly against the light coming from the glass pane. The couple was in awe when they entered the bathroom and saw the transformation. The floor looked inviting and all shower surfaces were pristine, with not a spec of dirt in sight. They both thanked our crew for their work and promised to tell more people in Rochester about our grout cleaning services.

Before calling it a day, our techs had some additional tips they wanted to share, hoping to help the client get more satisfying cleaning results. First, they explained they reminded the client that soap-based cleaners do more harm than good in the long term and recommended trying pH-neutral products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Combining high-quality ingredients for maximum cleaning power, our product does a lot to simplify the maintenance of bathroom surfaces, removing mold, mildew, and soap residue much more quickly. It also a much safer alternative to prevent exposure to chemical ingredients because it doesn't release toxic fumes into your living spaces.

Another way to make regular cleaning more effective is by avoiding steel wools and other abrasive tools. These tools not only do a lackluster job when it comes to removing the dirt caught between the tiles, they also scrap ceramic surfaces until you find yourself dealing with visible scratch marks on your floors. Last but not least, our experts recommended opening the bathroom door and the windows nearby to encourage the circulation of fresh air. This would prevent the corrosion of tile and grout surfaces, and counter the growth of mold.
