A Boston Home Gets the Best Makeover from Our Tile and Grout Cleaners

July 10, 2023

It's amazing how clean grout can instantly beautify any part of a home, showing off the tiles' design and simply making a surface look more interesting. Our specialists treated a Boston household with Sir Grout's signature grout restoration services after the homeowner came to us with concerns over his soiled grout. Despite keeping a strict cleaning regime, many parts of his home started showing the same issues around the same time. Namely, large dark stains that covered most of the home's floors, including the kitchen, the master bathroom, and the main hallway. There was no way to get rid of the dirt once it got stuck on the grout, making all the surfaces match in all the wrong ways.


The master shower had also become stained. It was impossible to conceal the marks embedded in the tub's white surface, and the efflorescence created a very unpleasant picture. After taking stock of the damage, the homeowner didn't wait long to contact our tile and grout cleaners in Boston. He went to our website, checked our picture gallery, and asked for an in-home evaluation via our "Schedule a Free Quote" button.

Just a few days later, our techs went to his house and inspected all his surfaces, from the floors to the master shower. There was soil covering most of the grout lines and even parts of the tiles' texture where the dirt had seeped into the pores. The shower joints were also badly stained but luckily didn't suffer from severe structural damage.


Our specialists went over the restoration options after explaining the cause of the problem. Basically, there was no sealant protecting the grout's porous surface, so any external elements landing on them could easily adhere to the grout. Soap-based cleaners did little to solve the problem, creating a foamy film that only trapped the dirt within. Our specialists' approach was to deep clean all the surfaces and seal the grout after removing the stains. The client was relieved to see a solution and scheduled a new appointment for the restoration.

On the appointed date, our specialists arrived at the client's house bright and early. They wanted to make the best of the day as the restoration was meant to include various parts of the house, specifically the floors on the bathroom, kitchen, and one of the main hallways, as well as the master shower. So, they began with a thorough cleaning service, applying a powerful pH-neutral cleaner on all the affected surfaces and cleaning the dirt as the cleaner took effect. Our product is the best way to counter the effects of wear and tear on grout and ceramic tiles, removing dirt, soap scum, and other liquids quickly and without risking gradual surface damage. In addition, our specialists steam cleaned the shower area, providing extra protection against the effects of moisture.


By this point, our specialists had meticulously removed all the stains, and the grout lines looked smooth and clean. When it was time to seal the grout, our techs applied a coat of ColorSeal to all the grout lines. This one-of-a-kind sealant represents the ultimate protection to reduce the stains caused by foot traffic and other household activities. It wards off the soil, grime, water, mold, and other substances, preserving the grout's color and beauty for much longer. Our techs sealed and recolored all the floors, including surfaces that demanded more precision, like the bathroom floor, where the tiles formed a more complex layout. The shower also looked remarkably better after they enhanced the protection of the bathtub joints.

Now that the grout restoration was complete, our techs buffed all the floors, bringing out their shine and the details that were once again visible on the tiles. Then, they let the client make his way through each room to evaluate the results. He was satisfied on all accounts, marveling at his home floors and the beauty of his shower. He thanked our specialists, praised our restoration methods, and promised to recommend our services to everyone he knew in Boston.


Before leaving the client's home, our specialists shared some useful cleaning recommendations. As they explained, pH-neutral products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner are by far the best option for the maintenance of hard surfaces. Our product guarantees the best results, removing dirt, soap scum, soil, mold, and grime without damaging the grout or subjecting a household to the dangers of chemical fumes. It's the best way to complement our sealant's protection on high-touch surfaces. Regarding cleaning tools, our specialists recommended using a mop, a towel, or a terry cloth to scrub off the worst stains. When combined with neutral cleaners, these tools provide quick results without scratching the tiles in the process. Indoor ventilation is important in all parts of a home, so our specialists reminded the client to open the windows from time to time as a way to prevent moisture buildup and other risks. The client promised to follow our advice and to call Sir Grout of Greater Boston if he ever found trouble while looking after his floors.
