This Floor in Bainbridge Island Looks Stunning After Our Amazing Grout Cleaning Service

September 20, 2024

While no one wants to see a soiled floor upon entering a house, it's no surprise that mudrooms get most of the dirt slipping in from the outdoors. Taking care of this part of the house can be hard, but it doesn't have to become an impossible challenge. A homeowner in Bainbridge Island knew this very well, so she secured a lasting solution as soon as she found the first marks on the delicate slate surface of her mudroom floor.


Generally, she could keep most of the dirt off the house, but wear and tear still managed to affect the grout's color, making the entire floor look dull and a few shades darker. After weeks of lackluster results, store-bought cleaners were out of the question, so the homeowner pondered over her options from there. She'd heard of different DIY tips to deal with soiled grout but ultimately felt much more confident about trusting a professional grout cleaning service in Bainbridge Island.

She came across Sir Grout South Sound on her first online search and was instantly impressed by our content, starting with the picture gallery where she found surfaces that looked similar to her mudroom floor. She gave us a call to ask some follow-up questions and our agent was happy to assist her as she set a date for an in-home evaluation.

At her convenience, our techs visited her house a couple of days later, and she immediately recognized Sir Grout's logo on their vehicle. They inspected the mudroom floor, assessed the grout from the entrance to the living room area, and immediately understood the homeowner's concerns. The dark slate tiles did a lot to conceal the stains but shoe prints and other marks were still visible on the surface. Most notably, the entire grout had taken a dark beige color after absorbing dirt and other substances for weeks.

Foot traffic was inevitable in that part of the house, but our specialists explained that regular cleaners also played a part in the deterioration of grout surfaces. Because of their composition, they subjected the floors to a layer of soap that often remained on the pores, keeping much of the dirt in place. Our crew confirmed that they wouldn't use harsh cleaners on the floor and offered to seal the grout after a thorough cleaning service. Fully on board with the plan, the homeowner scheduled an appointment for the restoration.

On the appointed date, our experts were welcomed into her house once again. At the start of the process, they prepared the mudroom area and soaked the floor with a surface-safe cleaner. Then, they ran a high-speed scrubber to eliminate all the stains as the dirt got loose. This way, they cleaned the entire surface without risking discoloration on the gray slate tiles.

It was time to revamp the grout. Our crew applied ColorSeal to all the grout lines on the floor, restoring the color contrast between the white grout and the slate surface. Our acrylic-based sealant offers enough durability to protect the grout for months, warding off water, grease, soil, grime, and other external elements. If you want to simplify your cleaning routine and get better results, this sealant's protection is a must.

Our experts buffed the floor to give it a nice finish and let the client review the result. The entire surface had the most beautiful glow and the grout looked spotless once again. After thanking our specialists for doing such a phenomenal job, the homeowner promised to recommend our services to more people in Bainbridge Island.

While putting away their equipment, our techs went over some additional cleaning tips with the client. We've made a habit of sharing these pointers at the end of each restoration, hoping to help homeowners preserve the natural beauty of their surfaces. First, our specialists described all the advantages that make pH-neutral products stand out from all the options available today. Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner removes embedded dirt much more seamlessly and it's designed to provide the desired result without any harmful side effects to stone and grout surfaces. You can use it as often as needed without worrying about discoloration on your tiles or toxic fumes in your living spaces. This way, chemical-based cleaners can be a thing of the past and you can keep your floors looking spotless for hours at a time.

When it comes to removing residue or scrubbing up any stickiness, we recommend using non-abrasive tools like a mop, a towel, or a terry cloth. Just remember to wash these tools beforehand to keep the dirt from spreading across different surfaces.

Lastly, our experts recommended opening the windows and doors a few hours a day, especially around areas constantly exposed to moisture. Good indoor ventilation goes a long way to prevent grout damage and ensures that your cleaning efforts don't go to waste after you've managed to remove all the stains.
