This Floor in Gibsonia Was Fully Restored by Our Grout Cleaning Specialists

July 27, 2023

A homeowner in Gibsonia felt helpless as she saw her living room floor lose all its beauty to the dirt that clung to the grout. She'd originally expected the first few stains to be an exception, but as the problem persisted, she feared that the sealant had worn off the grout lines.


Her cleaning products had no effect, no matter how many times she used them on the floor, and all the grout lines had taken a dark gray color that made her wince each time she passed by the living room area. Still, the homeowner was not about to give up. She decided that calling a surface restoration company would be more effective than trying a dozen cleaners with no idea of what to expect. Many of her relatives had recommended Sir Grout Pittsburgh, and she figured this was the perfect time to see our Gibsonia grout cleaning for herself. After a quick reading through our website's content, the homeowner secured an appointment with our specialists.

So, a few days later, our techs went to her home to conduct an in-home evaluation of the floor. They saw that most of the grout was hidden under layers of dirt, giving the floor a very unhygienic look. Soil and grime were also stuck to parts of the tile, which was expected given the amount of traffic that took place around that part of the house. Our techs explained to the client that soap-based cleaners create a foamy film that keeps the dirt stuck to the surface and that the ingredients in many of these formulas open the grout pores while gradually weakening the sealant. The homeowner was dismayed, but our specialists confirmed no permanent damage to the grout or the tiles. Still, Sir Grout's professional equipment was needed to remove all the dirt and enhance the floor's protection. The client agreed with this assessment and scheduled a new appointment with our crew once the evaluation was complete.

On the day of the restoration, our techs started working on the floor as soon as they got into the client's home. First, they soaked the floor's surface with a pH-neutral cleaner and removed all the dirt with the help of a high-speed scrubber. Our product brings all the benefits you could ask for in your cleaning products while removing the risks created by chemical formulas. It's effective against soil, grime, spills, and other stains, so you can simplify your cleaning routine without getting less than the best result.

Our techs had no problem removing all the marks, and soon, both tiles and grout looked spotless. It was time to seal the grout lines, so our specialists applied Sir Grout's special ColorSeal. Our sealant has a powerful effect that wards off external elements like product residue, mold, and mildew for months, depending on the area's traffic. It's also available in multiple colors, so our techs did an amazing job at getting the grout to blend in with the tiles. The whole floor looked vibrant and inviting.

The homeowner loved the result when we called her back into the room. She was impressed by the tiles' look and the effect given by the grout. All household members came to the living room to admire the floor, and they all promised to recommend Sir Grout Pittsburgh to the people they knew.

She wanted to keep the floor's new look for as long as she could, so she asked our techs for additional cleaning tips. Our specialists happily shared their recommendations and instructed her to use pH-neutral cleaners like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner on surfaces that needed constant maintenance. There's no way to decrease foot traffic on a household floor, but our cleaner's formula is the surest way to keep the dirt from collecting on the surface. Our product removes stains, enhancing the tiles' look without affecting the sealant's protection on the grout. A sealed grout and a safe cleaner already do wonders to improve routine maintenance, but our techs also recommended using the right tools to scrub off the stains, like a mop, a clean towel, or a terry cloth. Lastly, they told the homeowner to keep the area well-ventilated, opening the windows and doors a few hours a day to encourage the circulation of fresh air.
