Our Grout Cleaning Service Fully Revived This Kitchen Floor in High Bridge, NJ

July 06, 2020

Soiled grout can completely ruin the appearance of a ceramic-tile floor, and this is particularly obvious when it comes to high-traffic areas your bathroom and kitchen. A homeowner from High Bridge, NJ recently called us to express his wish to give his kitchen floor a full overhaul. While he managed to keep the tiles in good condition, he noticed the grout lines on the floor had become darker over time. The owner tried cleaning them with homemade recipes he found online, often mixing these solutions with the store-bought cleaners he had on hand. Unfortunately, this only made the grout's discoloration much more noticeable, to the point that the client worried about structural damage to his floor.


After searching for cleaning tips online, he read about the negative side effects of regular cleaners, which prompted him to avoid these products for good. From there, the owner started looking for a grout cleaning professional in High Bridge and found Sir Grout Western New Jersey at the top of his search results. After reading about our services and watching some of the video testimonials left by previous customers, he decided to request a free in-home consultation, amazed by the obvious quality of our grout restoration service.

On the day of the evaluation, our techs went to the client's home to inspect the floor, and we immediately spotted our vehicle when we arrived. Upon checking the kitchen floor, we understood why the homeowner was concerned. The grout lines on the floor were visibly stained, giving the entire surface an unclean appearance. We also tested the state of the grout's sealant and realized that it had completely worn off, leaving the grout pores unprotected against external elements. Fortunately, the damage to the grout lines was not severe, but our techs still stressed the importance of avoiding chemical-based cleaners, confirming some of the information that the owner had found online. With this in mind, we offered the homeowner a thorough grout cleaning accompanied by a grout sealing service to get the floor back in shape. The client naturally agreed to the service and set up another date for the job.

Our experts returned to the customer's house a few days later with the equipment to clean and seal the floor. We began by coating the floor with a pH-neutral cleaner that's safe for both tile and grout surfaces. This product works against mold, grime, and grease, simplifying the removal of marks on the floor. After letting the cleaner soak for a few minutes, our crew used a high-speed scrubber to remove the embedded dirt and any leftover stickiness.

Once the kitchen floor was clean, our crew carefully applied Sir Grout's flagship sealant ColorSeal on the grout. This is an acrylic-based sealant that protects grout against dirt, water, spills, soil, mold, and mildew. It also comes in a variety of colors to suit both residential and commercial settings. The client chose a light gray color to make the grout blend in with the tile, and our experts recolored all the lines accordingly.

Needless to say, the client was delighted with the results. Our team had dramatically changed the appearance of his kitchen area through the floor's transformation, and he loved its final look. He and his family thanked us for our hard work and said that they would recommend Sir Grout Western New Jersey to anyone in need of a grout restoration professional.

Before leaving, our techs gave the customer some tips to help him keep the kitchen floor in good condition through hours of foot traffic. Our first suggestion was cleaning the floor at least once a week using a pH-neutral product like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Not only does this cleaner facilitate the process, but it also prolongs our sealant's lifespan, enhancing the grout's beauty for a long time. Household chores will flow much more smoothly, and you won't have to constantly worry about the effects of wear and tear on porous surfaces.

We also reminded the client to avoid acidic products and homemade recipes, including common solutions made of water and vinegar. Most of these solutions contain substances that deteriorate tile and grout over time, corroding the surface and triggering discoloration on the floor. To finish, our techs suggested wiping off spills as soon as they happened, ideally with a clean mop, a terry cloth, or a towel to prevent scratch marks on the ceramic.
