A Homeowner in Apex Was Amazed by Our Grout Cleaning Services

September 15, 2023

Up until recently, a homeowner in Apex had been proud of her shower. She loved how the beautiful tile surface added character to her bathroom, with brown walls that managed to look sophisticated and welcoming at the same time. Sadly, the shower quickly lost its charm after the first few failed attempts to get the soap scum off the tiles. The result had all sides of the shower looking duller, and the homeowner only became more frustrated as the stains started making their way to the grout.


As the days passed and the stains became more visible, the homeowner gave up on traditional cleaners. She wanted an informed opinion before deciding what to do about her shower so she contacted our Apex grout cleaning not long after discovering Sir Grout Raleigh online. From the moment she found our website, the homeowner was impressed by our crew's knowledge and the quality of the results on display, so she couldn't wait to see what our specialists had to say about the stains on her shower.

A few days after the homeowner filled out the "Request a Quote" form online, our techs went to her house for an in-home evaluation. They looked at the shower and took note of the stains that discolored the surface. At that point, the tiles looked drab, with no glow to draw the eye away from the most affected areas around the seams. Our techs knew that their equipment could get rid of all the dirt that was embedded between the tiles, but they also had to seal the grout if they wanted to preserve its porous surface from further damage. They explained to the client that the harsh ingredients in many popular cleaners can actually open the grout pores and help the spread of mold and mildew around bathroom surfaces. The client asked some additional questions about our restoration method and scheduled a new appointment with our crew.

Our techs returned on the agreed-upon date to begin their work on the shower. They deep cleaned all shower surfaces with a pH-neutral cleaner, carefully scrubbing off the soap scum as it got loose. Our formula is more effective than multiple cleaners combined. It helps remove the dirt after it's embedded on a porous surface without leaving the walls and floors more vulnerable to damage. To complete this part of the process, our techs steam cleaned the entire shower area.

When it was time to repair the grout, our specialists replaced the caulk that was loose around the floor seams. Then, they installed epoxy grour on all the joints to enhance the shower's protection against wear and tear.

For the rest of the grout, our techs carefully applied ColorSeal until all the grout lines had the same white color that the client wanted around the tiles. This amazing sealant guarantees long-term protection against liquids, dirt, mold, and product residue. It wards off all external elements and reduces the number of stains to simplify routine maintenance.

Our restoration methods left the shower looking better than ever. The tiles had a vibrancy that matched the elegance that the grout brought to te shower's layout. Needless to say, the client was thrilled by the results and thankful for our crew's expertise. She promised to recommend our services to everyone in Apex while rediscovering the beauty of her shower.

At the end of the appointment, our specialists shared some additional cleaning tips with the homeowner. First, they recommended replacing bleach and chemical-based cleaners with pH-neutral products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Unlike most products in the market, our cleaner doesn't add to the gradual deterioration of grout and tile surfaces. It has no toxic fumes, so there's no risk of surface damage and you can avoid many health complications along the way, all this while ensuring unmatched cleaning power to remove mold, mildew, soap scum, grime, and other stains without doing any extra effort. To scrub off the most stubborn stains, our techs recommended using non-abrasive tools like a towel, a terry cloth, or a squeegee. This way, homeowners can catch all the loose dirt without scratching the tiles in the process.

The rest of our recommendations were aimed at fighting the consequences of moisture buildup. While it's impossible to keep water and other liquids from bathroom surfaces, cleaning the leftover dampness can help preserve a clean area after a shower or at the end of your household chores. Proper indoor ventilation also helps maintain a dry space, preventing the growth of mold and mildew around the corners, the sink, and hard-to-reach areas.
