This Tile Floor in Fuquay-Varina Was Transformed With Our Grout Recoloring Services

March 13, 2024

The floor is often the first thing that comes to mind when we picture a specific part of a house. The state of the floors can say a lot about the household's hygiene, whether it's a bedroom floor or the more visible parts of a home. A homeowner in Fuquay-Varina was tired of getting no results on her floor's grout. Despite the tiles' beautiful design, dirt and product residue had altered the grout in ways that the homeowner never saw coming.


Originally, the grout's color matched perfectly with the tiles' light brown shade. It only took a few months for the dirt to cover the entire grout's surface, darkening the grout lines so they stood out for all the wrong reasons. As frustrating as this was, the homeowner didn't lose her peace of mind. Regular cleaners had no effect on the embedded dirt so, naturally, the next course of action was to find a grout recoloring service in Fuquay-Varina to help her with her problem.

Her optimism paid off, and she found Sir Grout Raleigh at the very start of her online search. The homeowner was delighted by our website's content, especially all the results on display in our picture gallery. Contacting our crew was also easier than she'd expected; in only a few minutes the homeowner had set an appointment for an in-home evaluation.

Our techs visited her home the following day. The client led them to the room and they immediately started their inspection. The floor hadn't lost all its charm, but it was impossible to ignore the grout's rundown look. Grime and spills had soiled the surface once the dirt seeped into the grout pores, so the homeowner could never fully remove old stains for good.

Our specialists explained why her products were so ineffective despite hours of scrubbing. Soap-based cleaners create a foamy film that makes it easier for external elements to get stuck on the grout. In addition, the chemicals in these products can trigger the discoloration of tile and grout surfaces over time, making them the worst choice to preserve a tile floor.

Since there's no shortage of chemical-based cleaners on the market, many homeowners deal with similar issues and our techs had ample experience in restoring hard surfaces from this type of damage. They offered to clean and seal the bathroom floor with Sir Grout's special equipment and the homeowner took the chance right away.

Before the end of that week, our crew returned to the client's house for the restoration. They soaked the floor with a surface-safe cleaner and ran a high-speed scrubber on the entire surface. This unique cleaner has a quick effect that gets the dirt loose in minutes, so our techs didn't waste time removing the soil and grime from the floor, including the spaces between the tiles.

Then, they recolored all the grout lines using Sir Grout's signature ColorSeal. This acrylic-based sealant repels external elements to prevent stains on the grout. It works against water, mold, mildew, soil, cosmetic residue, and more. Our experts used a dark beige color to restore the grout to its original appearance, so all the grout lines looked smooth and beautiful by the time they removed the residue.

Last but not least, our crew applied tile sealant and buffed the floor for the last time. The entire floor looked amazing, and the homeowner loved the result from the moment she entered the room. At the end of the appointment, she promised to tell her friends and family about our grout recoloring services, knowing that many of her acquaintances in Fuquay-Varina had struggled with similar issues in the past.

Our techs had some additional pointers and the client was eager to hear what they had to say. They started by introducing the wonders of pH-neutral products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner.

Many homeowners get used to getting subpar results because traditional products are not equipped to deep clean high-traffic surfaces. By contrast, our product combines high-quality ingredients to deal with different stains in minutes, including embedded dirt on your grout surfaces. Thanks to its unique composition, our cleaner doesn't weaken the sealant's protection on the grout and homeowners can clean their floors as often as they want without worrying about toxic fumes. It's the most effective way to keep a spotless surface, especially when combined with non-abrasive tools like mops, towels, or terry cloths.

On that note, our techs also recommended to wash all cleaning tools between each session to keep the dirt from spreading across different surfaces. Their last recommendation was to open the windows and doors to ensure that the room got enough fresh air throughout the day. Enclosed spaces are vulnerable to the risks of moisture buildup, and good indoor ventilation is the best way to keep mold and mildew from spreading. Between proper circulation of fresh air and weekly cleaning, the homeowner wouldn't have to go out of her way to keep the floor looking its best.

More often than not, a dirty grout is the element that keeps a room from looking picture perfect. It doesn't have to be this way.
