Our Experts Transformed This Floor in Beaufort with Their Grout Sealing Services
June 30, 2024
A homeowner in Beauford immediately noticed when the grout on her kitchen floor started looking darker and how much it altered the floor's coloring. Even when she spotted the problem early on, she felt out of her depth after her cleaners failed to make a difference. She'd managed household cleaning long enough to guess the source of the issue, so she didn't waste time before contacting our grout sealing service in Beaufort.![Tile Floor Before and After a Grout Sealing in Beaufort](/pictures/pages/92/tile-floor-beaufort-grout-sealing.jpg)
The homeowner had known of Sir Grout of the Lowcountry for a while. Over the years, many of her friends and acquaintances had hired our services to marvelous results, so she was pretty confident while making her request. She completed the form in our online scheduler and as expected, our specialists didn't keep her waiting.
On the appointed date, they arrived at her house for an in-home evaluation, and the homeowner welcomed them in after thanking them for their prompt response. During the evaluation, they noticed that foot traffic had left its mark on the floor tiles, on top of staining the grout in different shades of gray. The homeowner wasn't surprised to hear that there was no sealant left on the surface, but she didn't expect that her cleaning products would also add to the damage.
As our specialists explained, generic cleaners have a high concentration of soap and chemical elements. They create a foamy film that covers the grout pores while leaving external elements on the surface, so it's easy for the dirt to spread. The best way to deal with the issue was with Sir Grout's professional equipment, so our techs immediately offered their services to restore the kitchen floor. The client had already seen the quality of our services in other people's homes, and later while checking our picture gallery, so she didn't hesitate to set a new appointment with our team.
At her convenience, our experts returned to her house a couple of days later. They got to work right away, soaking the floor with a permeating cleaner and running a high-speed scrubbing on the surface. They removed all the stains from the grout and restored the tile's vibrancy before starting the next part of the process.
To restore the grout, they applied ColorSeal to the grout on the floor, making sure to use the right color to match the ceramic tiles. Our sealant works as a protective barrier that keeps dirt, liquids, and other elements from seeping into the grout pores. It withstands weeks of household activities, so homeowners don't have to worry about seeing new stains on the grout every day.
Our crew buffed the floor one last time, and by then, the kitchen area looked brighter and more elegant. The floor transformed the entire room's atmosphere, and the homeowner saw the change as soon as she went in to check the result. After thanking our experts for their work on the floor, she promised to help spread the word about our services.
The restoration was complete and our techs only had one thing left to do. While putting away their equipment, they took a few moments to share some recommendations with the client. They started by stressing the importance of using the right products since it's easy to make the wrong choice from all the chemical-based cleaners available on the market. PH-neutral products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner provide the desired results for the maintenance of tile and grout surfaces. It removes all the embedded dirt and doesn't subject your floors to harsh ingredients in the process. Its composition also ensures that you don't have to deal with toxic fumes while going about your cleaning routine. Another way to preserve your hard surfaces against damage is by using only non-abrasive tools. Steel wool, for instance, will leave traces of dirt between the tiles and scratch marks on the ceramic. Instead, you can use a towel or a clean mop to work more efficiently without risking any damage in the process.
Our last recommendation was to keep an eye on the room's ventilation and to open the windows and doors at any sign of moisture buildup. This alone can do a lot to reduce the number of stains on harder-to-reach surfaces like the underside of cabinets and other furniture.
