Our Tile and Grout Cleaners Worked Wonders on This Kitchen Floor in Rochester

April 04, 2024

A ceramic tile floor may collect a lot of dirt in a relatively short time. For instance, the kitchen floor of a household in Rochester had lost most of its appeal in less than a month, and nothing seemed to fix the problem. The homeowner had tried countless cleaners, following the recommendations of neighbors and relatives but the dirt was stick stuck on the grout and the tiles looked worse by the day.


The homeowner didn't want to spend all his energy scrubbing the floor with subpar cleaners, but he needed some guidance to find the safest solution. He decided to get answers from a hard surface professional and that's how he learned about Sir Grout Greater Detroit. He was interested in our services as soon as he went into our website so he asked for an appointment with our tile and grout cleaners in Rochester after filling out the online form.

As expected, our techs met his request without any delays. They were at his doorstep on the scheduled date for an in-home evaluation and, once inside the house, they wasted no time inspecting the kitchen floor. The black grout was the first thing to grab their attention since it clashed glaringly against the floor's coloring.Thick layers of embedded dirt made the floor look unhygienic and the tiles' color also seemed to be somewhat darker.

Our specialists explained that the grout pores had absorbed a lot of grime and mold after the sealant had faded, a common occurrence on high-traffic surfaces. Unfortunately, traditional cleaners hadn't done the client any favors, because they'd created a soapy layer that kept the dirt in place. Under these circumstances, nothing kept external elements from becoming a permanent fixture on the surface, so our techs needed to seal the grout if they wanted to keep the stains from reappearing later on.

The client was fully on board with this plan so he didn't hesitate to schedule a new appointment. He hoped he didn't have to wait long before the restoration, and our crew was ready to meet his needs.They returned the appointed day with all the necessary equipment. After soaking the entire surface with our special cleaner, it was time to remove the embedded dirt. Our experts ran a hard-speed scrubber several times to make sure that nothing remained on the ceramic tiles. The process also removed the dirt that'd been trapped on the grout, leaving its surface ready for the next part of the process.

Our techs used Sir Grout's signature ColorSeal to seal all the grout lines. They used a light beige color to match the lighter tones on the ceramic tiles, making the floor look more attractive and comforting. More importantly, our sealant repels liquids, grime, mold, mildew, grease, soil, and other external elements, so it's the ideal solution to improve routine cleaning for homeowners.

To complete the restoration, our specialists buffed the tiles to enhance the ceramic's natural beauty. The client and his family were delighted by the result and they all promised to tell more people in Rochester about the expertise of our tile and grout cleaners.

Our techs started putting away their equipment, and when the client asked for tips to improve his cleaning routine, they gladly shared all their knowledge. First, they recommended using pH-neutral formulas like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner for high-traffic surfaces like the kitchen floor. Our product preserves the natural color of your hard surfaces while removing all traces of dirt. You don't need add chemical-based cleaners or worry about its effect on the sealant because there are no harsh ingredients to cause harmful side effects. Our second recommendation was to use non-abrasive tools like a towel, a terry cloth, or a mop to wipe out spills, shoe prints, and other stains. A steel wool don't do much about the dirt that lands between the tiles, and you may end up with more scratch marks on your floors.

Lastly, we always recommend to open the windows and doors a few hours a day or to ensure that the indoor ventilation system worked in all parts of the house. If a room doesn't get enough fresh air throughout the day, there are more chances of mold, and your living spaces will become less hygienic in a matter of weeks.
