A Homeowner in Bluffton Got Excellent Results from Our Tile and Grout Cleaners

May 16, 2024

Cleaning a dirty floor can be downright disheartening when you go over different methods with no solution in sight. A homeowner in Bluffton missed the cheerful layout of her bathroom floor and had made countless efforts to get it back. Still, the tiles' color was muted as a thin layer of dirt covered pretty much the entire surface.


The homeowner tried popular brands and DIY cleaners, but the discoloration was still prominent in the grout and the tiles. Luckily, one of her neighbors recommended Sir Grout of the Lowcountry by pure chance, and this turned out to be the answer that she'd been looking for all along. After going online and reading more about our tile and grout cleaners in Bluffton, the homeowner didn't want to waste any more time on cleaners so she contacted us via phone call that same day.

Following her request during the call, our techs visited her house a couple of days later to inspect the floor in her master bathroom. They could easily tell that dirt, dust, and weeks of foot traffic had concealed the tiles' natural color, and the grout wasn't doing much better. While the discoloration was more noticeable near the corners, all the grout lines were stained in some way. Our specialists went over their findings with the client and explained that the grout sealant had faded almost entirely, likely due to a combination of foot traffic and the chemicals in traditional cleaners.

They also described the risks of using homemade solutions like the mix that the client had tried on the floor. Vinegar deteriorates hard surfaces and alters the color of the tiles after repeated exposure, so the problem can get out of control when you're working on unsealed grout. Of course, our techs were familiar with all these issues and they promised that they could restore the floor in a single visit with the help of their professional equipment. After hearing this assessment, the homeowner didn't wait to schedule a new appointment, hoping to have the problem solved by the end of the week.

The next day, our techs returned to her house for the restoration. They started by cleaning the floor with a surface-safe cleaner and a high-speed scrubbing machine. They eliminated the dirt as it grew loose and made sure that nothing remained on the grout pores when it was time to apply sealant.

They sealed and recolored the surface according to the client's request, so they used light beige sealant on each grout line. To do this, they applied Sir Grout's flagship ColorSeal, an acrylic-based solution that protects grout for months on end without letting any dirt into the porous surface. Our sealant wards off liquids, mold, grime, soil, food, cosmetic residue, and more, so it does a lot to make cleaning more effective in the long run.

After buffing the floor with tile sealant, our techs were ready to call the client back into the bathroom. The tiles looked amazing and the grout was spotless. The homeowner was instantly reminded of how she'd fallen in love with the floor's layout when she saw it for the first time. She thanked our specialists for their service and promised to tell more people in Bluffton about Sir Grout of the Lowcountry.

Our techs started putting away their equipment and took the chance to share some additional tips. They explained how pH-neutral cleaners remove most of the dirt in minutes without causing any of the side effects of traditional products. Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner is the perfect example; it works against moisture, mold, soap, and the dirt carried by foot traffic. It never fails to provide the desired result and gives homeowners the chance to simplify their cleaning routine. As our experts explained, the most effective method involves using a clean mop or a towel to remove the stains after letting our cleaner sit on the surface for a few minutes. You'll be able to reach the dirt trapped in the grout pores without scratching the tiles in the process.

Still, regular cleaning can only do so much when the surface is constantly exposed to dampness and soap residue, which is why our techs also recommended looking into the ventilation system. If the bathroom doesn't get enough fresh air throughout the day, the homeowner could start opening the door and window to minimize the effects of moisture buildup.

If your floor's look doesn't meet your expectations, you can always contact Sir Grout of the Lowcountry to give it a makeover. Our specialists will know how to improve your hard surfaces while removing any stains on the grout. We promise the result will delight you!
