These Bathroom Surfaces in Charleston Look Amazing Thanks to Our Tile and Grout Cleaners

April 01, 2024

For a homeowner in Charleston, bathroom cleaning felt like a trial that could take hours. She put all her effort into making sure that her bathroom surfaces looked their best, but none of that made a difference on the soiled grout. Layers of mold and soap scum traced the hex tiles on her shower floor, and this only brought attention to discolored spots on the surface. Soon enough, grout cleaning stopped working on the bathroom floor as well, and the dark brown grout lines did it no favors.


After trying two store-bought cleaners and a homemade mix of vinegar and water, the homeowner decided to change tactics. She started looking for professional restoration companies online and found Sir Grout Charleston almost immediately. Then, she took her time reading about our tile and grout cleaners in Charleston, so she felt optimistic about her chances while scheduling an appointment with us.

Our techs visited her home on the appointed date for an in-home evaluation. The homeowner led them to the master bathroom and went over her previous attempts to clean the grout. During the inspection, our specialists checked the grout for structural damage and tested their cleaners on different parts of the soiled surface. They also took note of the stains on the shower tiles and the dulled shine that made the bathroom floor look neglected.


After checking all the bathroom surfaces, our specialists also addressed the effect that generic cleaners have on hard surfaces. Traditional formulas create a soapy film that keeps the dirt trapped in the grout pores, while vinegar has enough acidic imbalances to strip the tiles of their natural glow. Moisture does the rest, permeating bathroom surfaces and prompting the spread of mold around the shower joints. It was upsetting for the client to learn that her products had such harmful side effects, but she was glad to have our crew's assistance.

Following her request at the end of the evaluation, our specialists returned in two days to restore her bathroom surfaces. They started by spreading a special cleaner on all the affected areas, starting with the shower walls to then working on the floors. Thanks to our powerful cleaning formula, it was no hardship to remove the dirt from the grout and the tiles. Our techs also used a 275-degree vapor streamer to help preserve all parts of the shower stall.


While our signature sealant could recolor the grout on the bathroom floor, parts of the shower needed some special care. Our experts removed the old caulk from the seams and parts of the floor before regrouting the gaps. To do this, they installed water-resistant epoxy grout, enhancing the shower's durability against wear and tear. Next, they sealed the rest of the grout with ColorSeal to complete the shower's transformation. This amazing sealant keeps grout surfaces from getting stained after the dirt gets embedded in the pores. It wards off soap scum, mold, mildew, and other liquids to protect the grout's brand-new look.
Once they were done with the shower's grout, our specialists repeated the process on the bathroom floor, using a white sealant to make the grout stand out against the light gray tiles. The result looked amazing; the matching colors complemented each other to make the bathroom look more elegant, especially after our techs were done buffing the floor.

The client was thrilled when she saw her bathroom surfaces. The shower looked gorgeous and the bathroom floor seemed to make the room brighter. She promised to recommend Sir Grout Charleston to the people she knew in the area after thanking our crew for their amazing services.

Our techs had some additional tips to share with the homeowner and she gladly welcomed their advice. She'd been thinking about ways to improve her cleaning routine since her first appointment with our crew so our recommendations came at the perfect time. First, our techs introduced pH-neutral cleaners as the superior option. Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner removes all the risks of bleach and traditional cleaners. It provides maximum cleaning power without subjecting hard surfaces to harsh ingredients, all without releasing toxic fumes into the air. There's no better way to keep beautiful bathroom surfaces for weeks on end.

Another recommendation was to avoid sharp tools that could scratch the tiles whenever there's an attempt to remove the dirt. A towel or a squeegee will be more effective to reach all parts of a shower, and a clean mop works like a charm when removing the marks of foot traffic on the floor. Lastly, we always recommend keeping the room well ventilated, either with the right indoor ventilation system or by opening the windows every day.
