Our Specialists Restored the Beauty of a Tile Floor in Mill Creek With Their Grout Cleaning Process

December 27, 2024

After multiple attempts to improve the appearance of their laundry room floor, a couple in Mill Creek had started to feel stressed and overwhelmed. The thin grout lines on the floor had darkened at an alarming rate, going from white to dark gray in less than a month. The homeowners were used to dealing with stains in that part of the house, but they'd never seen that level of discoloration on any of their grout surfaces.


The couple asked on social media about grout cleaning services in Mill Creek, WA, and many of their acquaintances recommended checking out Sir Grout Seattle. A visit to our user-friendly website provided all the information they wanted to know after hearing about our methods for the first time, and the homeowners agreed that our techs would be able to restore their floor to its former beauty. One of them gave us a call, and our agent gladly provided their assistance.  

At the couple's convenience, our experts went to the house a few days later for an in-home evaluation. The laundry room floor didn't look its best, but our techs quickly confirmed that there was no lasting damage to the grout despite its discoloration. The problem was that its porous surface had been covered in grime and soil after sitting unsealed for too long. Our specialists needed to apply sealant after deep cleaning the entire surface since traditional products wouldn't yield the desired result, no matter how many times they're used on the same surface. In fact, these products have a lot to do with many of the issues affecting residential surfaces because their ingredients are harsh enough to corrode the grout and strip the tiles of their shine.

Our techs explained all this to the couple and agreed to return later that week when the homeowners requested our hard surface restoration services. A few days later, they made their way back to the house with all the necessary equipment.

First, they soaked the floor with a surface-safe cleaner and removed the embedded dirt with the help of a high-speed scrubber. They put all their attention into the task, making sure that all specs of dirt were removed before it was time to seal the grout.

When that part of the process was complete, our crew started applying ColorSeal to all the grout lines on the floor. They knew that the homeowners missed the grout's original color, so they picked the perfect shade to make the grout blend in with the tiles once again. Our signature sealant ensures that you can enjoy the restoration results for a long time because it provides the most powerful protection against liquids, mold, food residue, soil, and more.

Then, they buffed the floor and checked for any last-minute details before calling the couple back into the room. The clients loved the result and were already making plans for other home renovations they had in store. They also promised to recommend our services to their friends and family in Mill Creek, WA.

In short, the shower looked amazing, and our specialists had exceeded the couple's expectations in every way, from their restoration results to the quality of their customer services. The only thing they had left to do before ending the appointment was share a series of useful cleaning tips. They explained that pH-neutral products could counter the effects of wear and tear, along with the damage caused by soap-based cleaners. Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner is highly effective against common stains from mold, mildew, and soap scum, to the point that no other cleaner is needed to make your floors shine. It also rules out the chances of hard surface damage because it doesn't have any harsh ingredients in its formula. This is also the reason why homeowners can use pH-neutral cleaners without worrying about toxic fumes in their living spaces.

Next, our crew recommended to keep an eye on the room's ventilation, especially if mold and mildew became a recurring problem. Pests thrive around damp surfaces, and cleaning as a whole can be a struggle without the right ventilation system in place. Opening the windows and doors can help along the way if you feel like there's not enough fresh air around your laundry rooms, kitchen areas, and bathroom surfaces. To deal with the worst stains, our techs instructed the clients to use a towel, a terry cloth, or similar non-abrasive tools. This way, homeowners can avoid the risk of scratch marks when they have to scrub the most stubborn stains.
