Our Tile And Grout Cleaners Transformed a Porcelain Floor in Shelby Township

January 11, 2024

With each passing day, a homeowner in Shelby Township was growing more concerned about her porcelain floor. The floor connected the living room to the back of the house, where many of the bedrooms were located. It spanned a huge portion of the house and that entailed lots of dedicated care. Normally, household members took turns doing routine maintenance, and traditional cleaners did the trick when dealing with shoe prints and spills. At some point, however, it got harder to remove the dirt, and the stains soon grew into large marks that ruined the porcelain's appearance.


The homeowner decided to contact a restoration service company in the area, and the entire family was on board with the idea. Choosing the right company was easier than she initially thought: Sir Grout Greater Detroit caught her eye from the moment she started her search and our online content cemented her first impression about our team's expertise. All in all, it didn't take her long to schedule an appointment with our tile and grout cleaners in Shelby Township.

Our specialists were at her doorstep on the agreed-upon date for an in-home evaluation. Once inside the house, they didn't rush through the process, checking the floor closely from different parts of the room before deciding on the best course of action. The tiles had collected a lot of dirt, and large black stains concealed the porcelain's color almost completely. The problem extended to the grout, where the layers of dirt seemed to be thicker. Marks were to be expected in such an active part of the house, but our crew understood the homeowner's confusion at the amount of embedded dirt. They explained that soap-based cleaners can make things a lot worse in areas subjected to constant foot traffic. A foamy film keeps the dirt in place until it latches onto the surface, keeping homeowners from getting a pristine surface, regardless of how much time they put into cleaning.


The good news is that Sir Grout's restoration method has been tailored to address all these issues. Our specialists went over each step with the client, describing how our equipment could seal the grout after working through all the stains. This was a huge relief for the family, so the homeowner made sure to set a new appointment for the restoration before our techs left the house.

A few days later, our crew fulfilled her request. After arriving at the client's home, they soaked the floor with a surface-safe cleaner. With the help of a high-speed scrubbing machine, they spread the product across the entire surface, including the living room and the hallway connected to it. Our experts made several laps until they ensured that all the dirt had been eliminated.

For the next step, our specialists revamped the grout with our acrylic-based ColorSeal. This amazing sealant protects the grout pores against external elements like mold, dust, oil, food residue, and more. It keeps dirt from seeping into the grout so homeowners don't have to suffer while scraping off new stains every day. At the client's request, our techs recolored the grout lines to match the tiles, and the result was a sight for sore eyes.

The transformation was even more striking once they were done buffing the floor, and the homeowner loved it right away. It excited her to find her floor looking so lively and she was relieved to see the porcelain go back to its original color. The entire family came out to thank our specialists, promising to tell more people in the area about our amazing restoration services.

Our techs were ready to end the appointment, but they took a moment to give out some additional cleaning pointers. They knew that it was difficult to find an effective cleaning solution when there was no shortage of similar products available. With this in mind, our techs introduced the best way to narrow down your options to the most reliable products: pH-neutral formulas like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner bring all the advantages you need to preserve high-traffic surfaces. When you're using traditional products, spill residue, mold, and grease can only be eliminated with multiple scrubbing sessions. Our cleaner's results set it apart from traditional cleaners and soap-based formulas because you can remove countless stains in minutes. It also rules out the risks caused by toxic fumes around your living spaces, helping preserve a safer environment for children and pets.

Another recommendation was to open the windows and doors every day to keep the air from becoming stale. The risks of mold and mildew were not high in such an open part of the house, but poor ventilation can still prompt surface damage, no matter the setting. While our techs reminded the client about the importance of a reliable ventilation system, they knew that our sealant's protection and weekly cleaning would keep most of the stains from becoming embedded in the floor's surface.

You can always count on Sir Grout Greater Detroit to bring back the beauty of your porcelain surfaces. Our techs put all their skills into giving your floors the care they deserve, and the results won't just fade away after a few days of foot traffic.
