This Tile Floor in Charleston Looks Incredible After Our Grout Sealing Services

December 03, 2023

A resident in Charleston was getting ready to move and wanted to leave her old house in perfect condition. In her rush to pack her furniture and manage house listings, the homeowner never forgot about a plan that had stayed on the backburner for a while.


No matter how many times she tweaked her cleaning methods over the years, she'd never managed to remove the stains on her floors. Once the dirt made its way to the grout lines, it stayed there for good, creating a world of frustration for the homeowner. Between that and the stains that had formed during the moving process, the floors didn't have much to offer in terms of looks. At least that was the case until the homeowner contacted our grout sealing crew in Charleston. From the moment she found Sir Grout Charleston, she knew that our services would be needed. Almost every room had its appearance ruined by black grout lines on the floor, so the homeowner trusted our tech's expertise to identify the best course of action.

She welcomed our techs into her home a few days after requesting an in-home evaluation online. Our specialists cut no corners while evaluating the floors in her kitchen, hallway, and living room area. Each grout line was covered in dirt, and it really affected the home's appearance, making the rooms look darker and neglected. On top of constant foot traffic, the grout's sealant had faded from most of the surface, leaving it to absorb heaps of dirt, mud, grime, and other elements. Our techs also clarified some of the client's doubts about the cleaning products inside her cupboard. They told her that many popular cleaners have many chemical ingredients in common, which in turn expose hard surfaces to a lot of damage. While there was work to be done on the floors, our specialists ruled out any signs of cracks or deep structural damage, so they offered to have the grout restored with a thorough sealing. The client agreed with their assessment and scheduled a new appointment right away.


On the agreed-upon date, our specialists returned to her house. They took their equipment inside and started working on the largest room, gradually making their way to the kitchen area on the opposite end. To clean the floors, they used a surface-safe formula to get the dirt off the pores. Our powerful cleaner is effective on both grout and tile surfaces, ensuring the expected results in record time. After making several rounds with a high-scrubbing machine, our techs managed to eliminate every stain and got the grout ready for the next part of the process.

They applied Sir Grout's flagship sealant on all the grout lines, carefully removing the residue from each portion of the floor before repeating the process in the next room. Our ColorSeal is available in different colors, so it was no hardship for our techs to find the perfect shade to match the floor tiles. More importantly, this acrylic-based sealant provides protection against water, grime, mold, mildew, food and cosmetic products, etc. It basically keeps external elements from seeping into the grout pores so homeowners can't stop dealing with embedded dirt staining their grout.


The grout looked as good as new, so our techs decided that they could buff the floors one last time showing the result to the client. When the restoration was complete, the homeowner was called back into the room and the floor's look left her speechless. The floor's new look transformed her rooms in a unique way, making the space look tidy and more inviting. The homeowner praised our skills and thanked our specialists for their services. After weeks of stressing over her floors, it felt amazing to release all that pent-up anxiety.

Our specialists left the client with a series of valuable pointers. When she asked about an alternative to replacing her current cleaning products, they recommended using pH-neutral formulas like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Our product combines the most effective ingredients to deep clean surfaces, including harder-to-reach areas on the grout lines and corners. Homeowners can save time during their chores and preserve high-traffic floors for years with close to no signs of wear and tear. Our techs also recommended using a mop or a fresh towel to wipe out the stains, especially in large rooms where multiple spills can happen at once.

Moisture buildup can be the start of many problems, like mold infestations and embedded soil on the grout. That's why we always remind homeowners to open the windows and doors if there are any gaps in their ventilation system. Great indoor ventilation, non-abrasive tools, and neutral cleaners are a winning combo to keep the highest hygiene standards in any part of the house. The client now had the best tips to share with buyers and she already planned to follow all our recommendations in her new home.
