Our Experts Amazed a Homeowner in Savannah With the Quality of Their Grout Sealing Process
December 16, 2024
A homeowner in Savannah felt overwhelmed by the amount of dirt on her kitchen floor, particularly on the grout lines between the tiles. The last thing she wanted was for the floor to lose its original appearance because of it, but her efforts didn't stop the grout's deterioration. It was obvious that it needed to be re-sealed, so the owner set out to find the right company for the job.Sir Grout of the Lowcountry was at the top of her Google search results, so she started reading about our grout sealing service in Savannah, getting more excited as she learned more about our reputation in the area. Our picture gallery sealed the deal for her when she saw examples of our work in surfaces that resembled her own kitchen floor, so she didn't wait any longer to give us a call and schedule an in-home evaluation.
On the appointed date, our specialists visited her house in Savannah to look at the kitchen floor. They started by checking for cracks or grout damage, and once those risks were ruled out, they looked into all the stains on the grout. All the grout lines had an unattractive black color after absorbing dirt for weeks. This is a common occurrence once cement-based grout loses the sealant's protection since it's easy for external elements to seep into its porous surface.
The most noticeable problem was on the grout, but our experts also noticed traces of dirt embedded into the ceramic surface, ruining the floor's uniform color. When the client asked about the best course of action, they offered to seal the grout after deep cleaning the entire kitchen floor with their professional equipment. She agreed with the plan right away and thanked our techs for their assistance during the evaluation.
At her request, our crew returned to the house a couple of days later for the restoration. After preparing their equipment, they cleaned the kitchen floor with a permeating cleaner and a high-speed scrubber. This combination allowed them to get the dirt loose between the tiles and ensured that no marks were left behind at the end of the process.
Then, our specialists applied ColorSeal to the grout on the floor, using a light gray color to create a soft contrast between the lines and the ceramic tiles. Our acrylic-based sealant provides long-term protection against water, mold, mildew, grime, and food residue, resulting in fewer stains overall. Its protective power also allows homeowners to keep a smooth-looking grout with nothing more than their weekly cleaning routine.
The restoration was complete after our specialists buffed the floor to enhance the tiles' new glow. The homeowner loved the result at first sight and praised our crew for going above and beyond her expectations.
Here are some useful tips that our team always shares with clients after each job. First, hard surfaces can keep their structural integrity for a long time, but that doesn't diminish the harm caused by soap-based cleaners. By contrast, pH-neutral products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner represent the most reliable solution to preserve the beauty of tile ang grout surfaces. Our product's deep cleaning effect works against grease, soil, mold, mildew, and more. It also provides all its benefits without chipping away at the sealant, so you have the best combination to protect your kitchen surfaces and other parts of your home.
Likewise, steel wools and other abrasive tools leave ceramic tile surfaces more vulnerable without really doing a thorough job of cleaning the dirt. When it comes to ceramic tile floors, either a fresh towel, a mop, or a terry cloth is the best way to get the desired result. This way, you can spread the cleaning product evenly across the entire surface and remove all the stains without scratching the tiles.
Lastly, good indoor ventilation is key to making our restoration results last for longer. If your kitchen feels stuffy after a long day, it helps to open the windows and doors for a few hours. Our specialists shared all these pointers with the client and ended the appointment with the reassurance that Sir Grout of the Lowcountry would always be available if she needed to revamp any other part of the house.
