Our Tile and Grout Cleaners Revived This Beautiful Shower in Hollywood

October 16, 2024

A homeowner in Hollywood, SC, became more unsatisfied with each new cleaning attempt on her shower surfaces. Despite all the hours she spent working on the large shower stall, mold kept putting a strain on the grout. Moreover, she didn't appreciate how the cleaners had altered the shower's appearance after creating a soapy film on the tiles.


After many unsuccessful attempts, it wasn't hard to decide on the next step. The owner knew that a hard restoration professional would be her best chance to restore all parts of the shower, so she started looking for options online. Sir Grout Charleston was at the top of her online search results, so she had high expectations when she started reading about our tile and grout cleaners in Hollywood, SC. Her research further convinced her that she'd found the ideal solution to her problem, so she gave us a call to ask for an in-home evaluation.

Our experts were happy to respond to her request. On the agreed-upon date, they arrived at her house in an identified vehicle and wearing their standard uniform. After exchanging greetings, the homeowner led them to the master bathroom, and our techs began inspecting the shower.


The damage to the corner joints was severe, with the entire grout being covered with a thick layer of efflorescence and cracks that ran all around the horizontal seams. Much of the grout was discolored after absorbing sediments for weeks, and our techs confirmed that the sealant had faded almost entirely. They told the client that their professional equipment could remove all the embedded dirt without subjecting the surface to harsh treatment, and they offered a complete restoration service to preserve the shower against future damage. The homeowner was happy with this plan and immediately scheduled a new appointment for the restoration.

At her convenience, our specialists returned to the house a couple of days later with all the necessary equipment. They soaked every part of the shower with a permeating cleaner and began scraping off the dirt after letting the product sit for a few minutes. Then, they used a 275-degree vapor cleaner to eliminate all traces of mold.

This left the grout ready for the next part of the process. Our crew removed the loose caulk on the joints and repaired the damaged areas with waterproof epoxy grout. Since this mix is non-porous, grout surfaces withstand moisture and other elements much more effectively without getting soiled or cracks along the way.

Our experts also sealed the grout lines on all sides of the stall to make it match the ceramic tiles. For this part, they used Sir Grout's signature ColorSeal, a high-end sealant that repels external agents for a long time, keeping water, soap, and mold from reaching the grout pores. With this final step, our techs made every part of the large shower area look pristine, and the transformation was undeniable.

The homeowner and her family were amazed by the result, and after praising the grout's appearance, she promised to spread the word about our services.

At the end of the appointment, our experts left the client with some useful cleaning recommendations. First, they stressed the importance of keeping chemical-based cleaners away from tile and grout surfaces. PH-neutral products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner are safer and more effective overall, removing all the stains without leaving traces of dirt embedded in the grout. Our cleaner combines high-quality ingredients to ensure that you never get overwhelmed by the stains on your shower surfaces. It removes mold, mildew, and efflorescence in minutes without risking damage to your grout. Its non-toxic composition prevents exposure to harsh ingredients and rules out the harm caused by toxic fumes.

Next, our experts recommend wiping any moisture sitting in the shower since moisture usually grows from dampness. To do this, we suggest using non-abrasive tools like a towel, a terry cloth, or a squeegee. It's the best way to catch all the residue without scratching the tiles by mistake.

Another way to prevent the effects of moisture buildup is by keeping a healthy circulation of fresh air. Good indoor ventilation is essential for the maintenance of grout and tile surfaces, minimizing the stickiness and odors around your shower seams.
