A Shower in Charleston Looks Beautiful After a Service from Our Tile and Grout Cleaners

December 16, 2024

For a time, a homeowner in Charleston noticed that scrubbing off the stains on his shower took longer than usual, but he never expected it to reach the point where its surface always looked soiled. He'd tried different products to compare their effectiveness on the worst stains, but nothing stood out; in the end, the grout kept collecting mold, and large stains kept ruining the appearance of the walk-in bath.


Someone in his family recommended asking a professional's opinion, so the homeowner went online looking for options. He was drawn to our tile and grout cleaners in Charleston after coming across our website's picture gallery, and after checking other shower restoration works, he decided to give us a call.

Our agent answered all his questions, and it only took a few minutes to confirm the date for an in-home evaluation. The homeowner was ready to welcome our techs into his home when they arrived early in the morning, so the inspection began right away.

From the start, it was evident that the grout lines had to be re-colored, but our techs still took their time assessing its surface to single out the areas that needed repairs. Luckily, the damage was only a few minor cracks on the horizontal seams. Other than that, all the walls looked worse for wear, both from the soap scum on the tiles and the thick layers of mold on the grout.

The client wanted to know why his products had been ineffective, and our techs explained that traditional cleaners often leave stains behind after creating a foamy film on the surface. Unsealed grout is all the more vulnerable because external elements can easily seep into the pores. Our experts offered to deep clean the shower, including the walk-in tub, and seal the grout so that it could stay protected against new stains. The homeowner accepted the offer and asked them to return in a couple of days.

On the day of the restoration, our specialists returned to the client's home to work on the shower and prepared the area quickly before getting started. They began by using a permeating cleaner to remove all the embedded dirt. Our product leaves no stains behind and works much more effectively in a regular cleaning routine. In no time, our techs were ready to vapor clean the shower and repair the seams.

They installed epoxy grout to reinforce the seams against water and mold, providing the best protection against wear and tear. Then, they sealed the grout on the walls to blend in with the details on the ceramic tiles. Sir Grout's flagship ColorSeal repels mold, mildew, soap residue, and different liquids so nothing can get attached to the pores. It's also available in different colors, so our techs had no problem getting the perfect shade to get the desired effect.

This was the final step of the restoration, and by then, the shower stall had gone back to life. The pristine white floor contrasted beautifully with the walls' dark gray color. The client loved the result when he saw it and immediately promised to tell more people about our services.

At the end of the appointment, our techs offered some additional cleaning tips, and he was grateful for their recommendations. They started by introducing pH-neutral products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner since they're by far the most effective way to deal with stains from mold, mildew, and soap scum. Unlike most of the products available today, pH-neutral cleaners will not leave marks behind, and they work without corroding grout and tile surfaces after repeated use. Our high-end formula provides maximum cleaning power so you won't have to mix it with other solutions. This means that you can enjoy the wonders of a hygienic shower without worrying about discoloration or toxic fumes remaining in the air.

Other recommendations were ways to prevent moisture buildup since this is one of the main causes of deterioration on shower surfaces. Homeowners don't need to upend their cleaning routine to make results last longer since a few extra steps and the right equipment are enough to preserve the results of our restoration process. Our experts instructed the client to open the windows and to leave the door ajar so the shower gets more fresh air during the day. Then, they recommended using only non-abrasive tools to wipe out any stickiness left on the tiles. A steel wool can easily scratch the surface without really addressing all the stains, which is why we always recommend using a towel, a terry cloth, or a squeegee.
