Our Tile and Grout Cleaners in Lakeview, IL, Brought This Dirty Bathroom Back to Life

May 30, 2023

This homeowner in Lakeview, IL, decided to give every room in his house an extreme makeover, but he was very concerned about the service bathroom, as it had deteriorated over time. It looked as if only a professional cleaning service could fix it, so he started looking online for reliable and experienced tile and grout cleaners in Lakeview,IL. He quickly found our website among his top search results and went to the "Before and After" section to look at pictures of our previous work. Then he saw all of the positive reviews left by our customers. That was all he needed to see. He decided to give us a call to arrange a free, in-home evaluation.


On the day of the appointment, our team of specialists arrived and were ready to take a look at the client's bathroom. They noticed that the shower and the entire bathroom floor looked very dingy and stained. The grout lines were very discolored and full of mold and mildew. It definitely was a job for our experienced and well-trained experts. They told the client that our tile and grout cleaning service and our ColorSeal treatment were all this bathroom needed. The homeowner trusted us, so we set a date to perform both procedures.

A few days later, our team came back to the house to begin the cleaning process. First, they steam cleaned the surface and grout lines to sanitize and remove soap scum, efflorescence, mold, and mildew. Next, Sir Grout's ColorSeal was applied to all the grout lines to re-color and protect them from grime. Lastly, our team used TileArmor, which is a non-toxic, water-based sealant that seals and protects from stains and spills. All of these steps are essential to ensure long-lasting results.


When our crew finished, they showed the client his newly restored bathroom, and he was just amazed. The change was stunning! Both the shower stall and the entire bathroom floor looked completely brand-new. We were very happy to see how pleased the young man was with the excellent job our technicians had done. All mold and mildew that had accumulated in the grout lines was gone, and the stained and discolored surfaces were brought back to life with an incredible white color that will last for a long time. We had exceeded the client's expectations, and he mentioned that he would tell all his friends and neighbors about how happy he was with the outstanding results.

As we always do, our experts gave the homeowner some tips and recommendations on how to keep his bathroom looking great:

• Apply a pH-neutral soap-less floor cleaner as Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner, liberally to your tiles and grout, and let it soak for 5 minutes. Then mop as usual.
• Use undiluted cleaner where dirt is more concentrated or has accumulated the most.
• Always dry tile surfaces with a towel or terry cloth to remove dirty water or residues from cleaners that get into the concave grout lines. Otherwise, once the liquid residues evaporate, dirt will be left behind.
• We do not recommend using soap-based cleaners on tiles because they leave a film that attracts dirt, dulls the surface, and promotes mildew growth.
• Do not use steel wool or other abrasive materials on tile because they can scratch and dull the surface.

Our grout cleaning and ColorSeal procedures extract deeply embedded dirt and grime that regular cleaners cannot remove. We also can get rid of all tile and grout stains, giving your surfaces a 100% uniform and bright color. Last but not least, ColorSeal comes with a conditional lifetime warranty, which accompanied by a proper cleaning and following our suggestions, you may not have to seal again.


White is a great color for bathrooms that lack windows or natural light, as it can help brighten a space and reflect light, which also makes it a particularly good option for smaller bathrooms. Even though a deep and careful cleaning needs to be done regularly, using effective and proper cleaning products can help keep it in great shape and looking like new.
