Our Grout Cleaning Techs Amazed a Homeowner in Chicago After Transforming Her Kitchen Floor

October 16, 2024

Anyone would feel frustrated by a dirty floor after hours of mopping and scrubbing. Sadly, this had almost become the norm for a homeowner in Chicago, who spent hours working on household chores during the week only to see no improvement after cleaning the kitchen floor. The tiles looked soiled, and all the grout lines turned black after absorbing the dirt that made it into the room.


The homeowner had heard of Sir Grout Chicago many times, so she figured this would be the perfect time to see what we had to offer. She went online, ready to read as much as she could about our grout cleaning service in Chicago and was not disappointed in her findings. After her research, she contacted us via phone call to ask some follow-up questions and schedule a visit, and our agent was happy to assist her.

On the appointed date, our specialists went to her house for an in-home evaluation. The homeowner led them to the kitchen, where they immediately got an inkling of what had caused the issue. In only a few weeks, the grout's entire surface had been covered in dirt, so it was safe to assume that foot traffic and other everyday activities had weakened the sealant. These are all important factors, but our techs explained that traditional cleaners usually play a part in deteriorating the grout. Because these products combine multiple harsh ingredients, they can cause a lot of damage to porous surfaces.

The good news is that Sir Grout's equipment can undo the damage caused by these formulas and even enhance the grout's protection with our acrylic-based sealant. Our experts described the entire process to the client, and she gladly scheduled a new appointment once they were done.

At her convenience, our crew returned to her house a couple of days later for the restoration. They began removing the dirt with a high-speed scrubber after spreading our pH-neutral cleaner on the surface. In a few minutes, the product got the dirt loose and our techs could remove the residue without issue.

Next, they carefully recolored the grout lines with our signature ColorSeal. This acrylic-based sealant has the power to protect grout surfaces in the long term, preserving their color and warding off external elements like mold, soil, grime, grease, and more. There's truly no better way to ensure that all your cleaning sessions end on a high note.

Our experts finished the process by buffing the floor for the last time. All the steps combined successfully brought out the tiles' unique beauty and nice color contrast with the light-brown grout. The homeowner was delighted as soon as she saw the result, and she promised to recommend our services to all her friends and neighbors.

Before leaving the house, our crew shared some additional tips with the client. To avoid the accumulation of dirt on porous surfaces, our techs recommended trying pH-neutral products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Unlike regular formulas, our product won't subject your surfaces to harsh treatment; its permeating effect doesn't affect the sealant's protection, so it's much easier to keep your grout spotless. You can clean food residue, soil, mold, and grime much more easily and keep your kitchen free of toxic fumes because our cleaner is designed to help you keep healthier residential spaces.

Our next pointer was to prevent moisture buildup on kitchen surfaces because that makes way for mold and grout damage. We recommend opening the windows and doors every day and wiping out any stickiness left on the floors. As our experts told the client, it's best to use a mop, a towel, or a terry cloth in these cases to avoid scratching the tiles by mistake.
