This Shower in Berkley Looks Gorgeous Thanks to Our Grout Cleaning Experts

July 26, 2024

A clean shower is often all you need to release stress after a long day. A homeowner in Berkley knew this very well and it became all the more obvious when her shower stopped bringing that sense of comfort. The homeowner hadn't made any major changes in her cleaning routine, but the grout still collected new stains every day, particularly around the seams where heaps of mold were firmly stuck to the surface.


Since regular cleaners didn't do their part, the next step was asking for a professional's opinion. The homeowner started looking for options online and came across Sir Grout Greater Detroit almost immediately. She recalled having heard good things about us in the past and our online content met all her expectations. She gave us a call to schedule an appointment with our grout cleaning service in Berkley and our agent was happy to assist her through the process.

Following her request, our specialists visited her house after a couple of days for an in-home evaluation. Once inside the master bathroom, they inspected the shower after the homeowner gave them a rundown of the situation. The shower looked dull and lifeless, not only because of the stains discoloring the grout but also due to the muted colors on the tiles. A closer looked revealed traces of soap scum running on the walls near the seams and damage to the corner joints.

As our crew explained later in the day, the best course of action was to clean and seal the grout with their professional equipment along with some repairs to the areas where the caulk had gone loose. The grout needed proper protection against the minerals in hard water and regular cleaners would only keep the homeowner stuck in the same circle while adding to the corrosion of shower surfaces. The client thanked our techs for their assessment and asked them about their ability to return before the end of the week.

On the scheduled date, our experts came back to the house to complete the restoration and prepared the shower area as soon as they got there. First, they used a surface-safe cleaner to simplify the removal of all the embedded dirt, along with a 275-degree vapor steamer to ensure the elimination of all traces of mold.

Our techs made the necessary repairs to the seams, replacing the damaged grout with a high-end epoxy solution. Then, they used acrylic-based ColorSeal to protect the grout on the floor and walls. Our sealant withstands hours of activity without letting external elements into the porous surface. It protects the grout against water, mold, mildew, and soap residue, so all the grout lines get to keep the same color without being stained throughout the day.

After completing the process, our crew called the client back into the room so she could see the result. The shower looked amazing and the grout perfectly matched the color of the tiles. The homeowner was in awe, remarking that the shower stall looked larger and more sophisticated. She thanked our techs for their service and promised to reach out if similar issues affected other parts of the house.

Before ending their visit, our experts shared some additional recommendations to help her get the best out of her cleaning routine. Keeping mold off shower surfaces can be tricky even while following a strict cleaning routine, which is why we always recommend using pH-neutral products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Unlike most store-bought formulas, our cleaner delivers the desired result without any harmful side effects. Its permeating power doesn't affect the tiles' natural color or the sealant's protection, so you can use it whenever it's needed without ever being disappointed. Bathroom surfaces will look as good as new at all hours of the day, and your home will be free of toxic fumes after you're done with your chores.

Another way to get better results is by avoiding steel wools and other sharp tools since you'll cause more damage without removing all the embedded dirt. Our techs recommended using a towel or a squeegee to remove soap residue and moisture, particularly in areas like the corner joints where mold tends to grow.

Our final recommendation was also aimed at fighting the effects of moisture buildup. Regular cleaning is imperative for a hygienic shower, but it will stop being effective if you don't prioritize the room's ventilation. Make sure to open the windows and doors every day to increase the circulation of fresh air and you won't have to struggle so much just to keep spotless shower surfaces.
