Our Techs Used Their Grout Cleaning Expertise to Revamp This Kitchen Floor in Seattle

January 14, 2025

Kitchen surfaces say a lot about a household's cleaning habits, so it's understandably frustrating when grout surfaces don't reflect the homeowner's efforts. A couple in Seattle felt overwhelmed by the state of their kitchen floor; the dark grout completely altered the floor's appearance and made the rest of the kitchen look dull and unattractive.


The homeowners had learned about our grout cleaning services in Seattle while looking for hard surface restoration experts, and decided to contact us. During a phone call with one of our agents, the couple explained the problems they'd encountered while cleaning the kitchen floor, and the agent explained our grout restoration process before assisting them with their request.

A few days later, our crew arrived at the couple's home, as scheduled during the phone call. They inspected the kitchen floor after getting a rundown of the couple's earlier efforts to remove the embedded dirt. The grout needed a lot of work since multiple factors had weakened the sealant until nothing protected the surface from external agents. As a result, the entire surface looked soiled and lifeless, including the tiles, where our techs could also see traces of old stains.

They explained Sir Grout's restoration process after confirming many of the clients' suspicions about the side effects of store-bought cleaners. Meanwhile, the couple was relieved by the knowledge that the grout hadn't suffered permanent damage and immediately agreed to our techs' plan when they offered to clean and seal the surface.

At the homeowner's request, our experts returned to the house the following day for the restoration. They started by deep cleaning the kitchen floor with a high-end permeating formula that got the dirt loose in minutes. They covered the surface with a high-speed scrubbing machine to ensure that all the stains were dealt with before working on the grout.

When that part of the process was complete, our crew got ready to seal all the grout lines on the floor. They applied our signature ColorSeal, a powerful sealant that protects the grout pores against external elements and liquids. It works as a barrier that repels water, grease, mold, soil, food residue, and more, so it's much easier for homeowners to keep the grout's uniform color. Our techs used a light gray sealant to make the grout stand out without overshadowing the tiles, following the couple's request at the start of the restoration.

From there, they only had to buff the floor one last time to show off its transformation. The couple couldn't be happier with the result and thanked our experts for doing such wonderful work on the grout. They also promised to contact us when they needed help restoring other parts of their home.

After another successful restoration, our techs only had one thing left to do. They left the homeowners with some additional recommendations to prevent the accumulation of dirt in high-traffic areas. Their first tip was to replace traditional products with Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Our pH-neutral formula provides all the cleaning power you need to eliminate common stains, so there's no need to add chemical-based solutions into the mix. Because there are no acidic imbalances in its formula, our cleaner works without exposing your grout to harsh treatment, and it doesn't weaken the sealant's protection over time.

It also helps to have the right tools so you don't find traces of dirt after being done with your chores. Our specialists recommended using a towel, a mop, or a terry cloth to clean the floors more effectively without risking scratch marks on the ceramic.

Last but not least, pH-neutral cleaners do a lot to preserve a hygienic environment because they don't release toxic fumes into the air, but homeowners should also make a habit of opening the windows and doors during the day. Good indoor ventilation can make a big difference in your cleaning results, reducing the chances of mold and keeping any stickiness from seeping between the tiles.
