Our Grout Cleaning Crew Delivered Impressive Results on This Kitchen Floor in Lutz

March 24, 2022

A homeowner in Lutz reached out to our grout cleaning specialists asking for assistance with her home floor. She lived in a very active household, which made regular maintenance tricky for her despite all the time she dedicated to cleaning. Her kitchen floor, in particular, had suffered greatly from foot traffic and spills. Moreover, the family had a bubbly golden retriever that kept dumping dirt on the tiles each time it wandered in and out of the yard.


For weeks, members of the household had tried to scrub the grout clean with little success. The homeowner was at her wit's end, and the floor's grout kept collecting more soil with each passing day. Luckily, she found Sir Grout Tampa while searching for cleaning tips online, and read about our Lutz Grout Cleaning services with growing enthusiasm. So, after going through various sections of our website, the homeowner gave us a call to request an in-home evaluation.

Our crew was at her doorstep a few days later to begin the evaluation, and it took them little time to get to the root of the problem. Some parts were dirtier than others, but most of the grout had some amount of soil stuck to it. The tiles had also absorbed a lot of grime, making them look sticky and hiding their natural color. When we asked the client about her cleaning routine, she listed many products and solutions, including a few soap-based cleaners and a mix of vinegar and water. This was expected since many people in the house had tried their hand at cleaning the floors. We explained that bleach and soap-based cleaners strip hard surfaces of their color, while vinegar erodes the grout, leaving it more vulnerable to liquids and mold. We needed to clean the floors with our professional equipment and seal the grout afterwards. After going over our restoration process with the client, she remarked that it was just what she wanted for her floor and scheduled a new appointment.

On the appointed date, our specialists arrived right on time to start working on the floor. They deep cleaned the floor's surface with a pH-neutral cleaner and scrubbed off the loose dirt with a high-speed scrubbing machine. Our surface-safe product effectively removes spills, dust, soil, grime, mold, and mildew without wearing down the tiles or the grout. Because it has no harsh ingredients, there's no risk of discoloration after regular use and no chance of liquids seeping into the grout.

The next step was sealing the grout lines with our exclusive ColorSeal. Our powerful sealant wards off all kinds of external elements, like mold, and it also protects from UV rays. It shields the grout in the long term and makes cleaning less taxing for homeowners. Following the client's request, we recolored the grout lines to match the tiles' beige tones. Our specialists buffed the floor with Tile Armor and ended the process when the tiles had recovered all their brightness.

When we called the client back into the room to see the results, the whole family was amazed. Now that the grout was clean and sealed, the floor looked beautiful, and the whole kitchen area felt more inviting than ever before. The client thanked us for our services, happy to have hired the best restoration company to revive her floors.

When the client asked for recommendations to keep her grout stain-free, our specialists were happy to share some pointers. They told her that the best alternative to replace soap-based cleaners was using pH-neutral products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. As they explained during the appointment, our product combines high-quality ingredients that remove the worst stains without wearing down hard surfaces or opening the grout pores. It's also safe to use around children and pets because there are no chemical fumes putting their health at risk. Our specialists also recommended using mops and clean towels instead of steel wools and other abrasive tools. This way, all the stickiness could be removed without leaving scratch marks on the tiles. Their last recommendation was a simple reminder to open the windows and doors a few hours a day as a way to help indoor ventilation.
