Find Out How Our Grout Sealing Crew Revamped This Bathroom Floor in Grosse Pointe Park

February 11, 2025

Household chores can be a real headache when you don't stop the spread of dirt around the grout and other narrow surfaces. This was the main reason why a homeowner in Grosse Pointe Park wanted to revamp the grout on his master bathroom before the problem got out of control. By the time he decided to contact a hard surface professional, the floor still kept its good looks, but there were areas where the grout had visibly grown darker.

Eager to get a lasting solution, the owner went online looking for solutions. Soon after visiting our website, he remembered having seen the results of our restoration process at a neighbor's house, and this increased his interest to learn more about our grout sealing service in Grosse Pointe Park, MI. From there, it didn't take long for her to decide that Sir Grout Greater Detroit was the way to go, so he gave us a call right after completing his research online.

As always, our specialists responded promptly, and that same week, they were at his doorstep to conduct an in-home evaluation. The client led them to the master bathroom, where they started inspecting the floor after asking some standard questions about the household's cleaning routine. The tile layout truly complemented the room's modern design, but it was obvious that parts of the grout had lost their natural color. Our crew saw traces of grime and soil on the porous surface and confirmed that regular cleaners couldn't beat these stains. Because of its porous nature, cement-based grout can attract a lot of dirt if it stays unsealed for too long. Foot traffic had likely weakened the grout's sealant over time, along with some other external factors like the harsh ingredients in traditional cleaners.

Our techs needed to clean and seal the floor to preserve its natural color so they offered to return later for the restoration. Thankful for the offer, the client immediately set a date to have the job done.

He welcomed our experts back into his home only a few days later, and they got to work right away. First, all traces of dirt had to be eliminated, so our team soaked the floor with a non-toxic cleaner to wipe out the stains more effectively. They also ran a high-speed scrubbing machine for maximum effectiveness, so it didn't take long for them to complete the first part of the process.

Next, they used Sir Grout's flagship sealant to protect the grout from decay. Our ColorSeal works as a barrier that keeps external elements away from the grout pores. It protects against moisture, mold, mildew, soap and cosmetic residue, etc. Thanks to its long-term protection, the grout can stay spotless for much longer, even after weeks of foot traffic.

Near the end of the process, our crew buffed the floor with tile sealant, which brought out the tiles' natural shine. The entire surface had the same white color, looking pristine against the room's soft lighting. This was everything the client wanted and more, so he immediately promised to call us back when he wanted to revive other parts of his house.

Our experts still had some useful cleaning tips to share with the client, so they went over everything after the restoration. Their first recommendation was to replace generic products with pH-neutral formulas to properly care for hard surfaces and avoid any harmful side effects. Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner proves that one high-quality formula is enough to remove old stains and embedded dirt. Instead of subjecting hard surfaces to harsh chemicals, our permeating cleaner detaches the dirt from the grout without discoloring the tiles or affecting the sealant's protection. It's the ideal way to simplify routine maintenance and get the desired results during all your cleaning sessions.

When it comes to the right cleaning tools, our specialists warned against using steel wools and other abrasive objects. Despite their durability, tile surfaces are not impervious to scratches, and sharp tools could leave deep marks on the surface. Homeowners will get much better results when using a towel, a terry cloth, or a squeegee, removing the dirt from harder-to-reach areas quickly and effectively.

Before ending the appointment, our team also recommended to open the windows and doors from time to time so that fresh air could reach all parts of the large bathroom area. Placing a doormat in front of the bathroom door also helps reduce the amount of dirt that makes its way to the room, as long as you wash it regularly.
