Our Grout Sealing Experts Renewed a Kitchen Floor in Lakewood, Washington

October 25, 2023

Homeowners dream of keeping their kitchen looking as good as new, but a floor's dirty grout can often ruin a kitchen's welcoming appearance. A Lakewood resident was frustrated for this very reason. No matter how much care she put into revamping different parts of her kitchen, the effect was overshadowed by thick black lines running across the floor from all sides.


Knowing her cleaning products weren't working, a homeowner looked for the best Lakewood grout sealing service. That's how she found Sir Grout South Sound and immediately recalled her neighbor's recommendations from months before, when she was still trying to clean the soiled grout on her own. The homeowner took her time looking into our website, browsing our list of services and our picture gallery, before requesting an in-home evaluation.

Our techs visited her house on the scheduled date to look at the kitchen. They confirmed the sealant had faded, leaving the grout pores vulnerable to liquids, dirt, and stains. The floor looked neglected with black grout and dull-looking tiles, even though the homeowner had made multiple attempts at cleaning. Our techs explained that chemical-based cleaners have a great deal to do with the deterioration of grout and tile surfaces.

They explained that inferior products aren't that effective. More importantly, they create a foamy film that keeps the dirt on top of surfaces until it gets stuck in the pores. The solution involved cleaning and sealing the entire kitchen floor. The client was happy with their assessment and knowledge. She scheduled an appointment.

Our specialists returned to the client's home only a few days later. For the first part of the process, they steam cleaned the surface to sanitize the area against the spread of fungi. Then, they soaked the floor with a pH-neutral cleaner and ran a high-speed scrubber to remove the stains as the embedded dirt got loose.

Our product is a reliable solution to keeping a clean floor without adding more hours to your cleaning routine. It quickly gets the dirt loose in minutes while getting rid of that pesky layer of stickiness that usually stays after we wipe out grease or spills.

When our techs were ready to work on the grout, the floor looked much better, and the tiles had regained their natural vibrance. They regrouted the areas where the old caulk had started going loose to increase the grout's resistance against liquids and surface damage. When it was a matter of making the grout match the light color, they applied ColorSeal to all the grout lines, removing the sealant's residue as we made our way to the opposite end of the kitchen.

Our sealant helps prevent the effects of wear and tear. It resists mold, soil, grime, food residue, and more. ColorSeal guarantees the best protection to keep a clean grout through constant spills and foot traffic.

Our techs ended the restoration by buffing the floor one last time to bring back all its shine. They invited the client into the kitchen so she could evaluate the result. As expected, she was thoroughly satisfied with the quality of our restoration methods. She promised to recommend our services to her friends and relatives in Lakewood, Washington.

Before leaving the client's house, our techs gave her additional cleaning tips.

To prevent the damage caused by bleach and other common cleaners, they recommended pH-neutral products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Nothing can match our product when it comes to keeping your floor in good shape. It removes all common stains without releasing toxic fumes into your living spaces, so you can use it as often as you need to for maintaining high-traffic surfaces. All these qualities make our cleaner the best option to maintain a more healthy environment inside your home or business.

Another recommendation was to monitor harder-to-reach areas to spot the early signs of moisture buildup. Kitchens and bathrooms can become the perfect setting for mold and mildew if the dampness sits around your surfaces for too long. Our techs recommended wiping any leftover liquids with a mop, a clean towel, or a terry cloth. They also reminded the client to open the windows daily to let some fresh air into the rooms. This way, the floor could keep its shiny, new appearance for much longer.
