Our Grout Cleaning Service Helped a Kitchen Floor in Dallas, TX Say Farewell to Deep-Seated Grime

June 16, 2023

Because it's a mixture of sand and cement, grout is naturally porous. As a result, grout lines can absorb moisture and bacteria if they're not properly sealed. Sealing grout is the best way to keep it protected for long periods of time. However, proper sealing is often overlooked by most homeowners until problems start to appear. Our most recent customer went through a similar problem. After living in his lovely home in Dallas for a year, he began to see problems in the grout lines on the kitchen floor.


The homeowner tried cleaning the floor's grout using many products and methods, but none of them worked. Feeling tired of brushing and scrubbing, he went online and searched for advice. He found that these problems tend to happen when the grout's sealant has worn out. He also learned that it's imperative that the grout lines are fully clean prior to having them sealed to ensure positive results. Even though most websites listed many DIY cleaning methods and homemade cleaner recipes, the homeowner knew it would be best to leave the job in the hands of professionals. When he searched for grout cleaning experts in Dallas, TX, he found our website. After browsing our picture gallery and seeing the many testimonials we have received from satisfied customers, he called to schedule a free in-home evaluation.

As scheduled, we arrived at the customer's home to determine an effective solution to the problem at hand. After we thoroughly inspected the grout on the kitchen floor, it became clear the sealant had worn out. Sealants are the only protective layer between grout and harmful external agents. Without it, grime can easily accumulate on the fixtures and give them an awful appearance. When we asked the client about what products he used to clean the floor, he told us he used soap-based cleaners. Due to its porous nature, the grout had retained a mix of soap residues and dirt in its pores, which resulted in further deterioration.

We explained to the customer that even though the grout was in bad shape, we couldn't find any signs of severe damage. We assured him we would be able to restore the grout lines with our top-of-the-line grout cleaning and sealing service. To seal the grout, we would use our proprietary sealant ColorSeal. To finish, we would also coat the natural stone tiles with Stone Armor. The homeowner agreed to the service and scheduled an appointment for later in the week.

On the day of the job, we returned to our client's home to perform the service. We started by soaking the surface with our proprietary pH-neutral cleaner. On top of being safe for tile and grout, this product has been enhanced with an ingredient that can help inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi, mold and microorganisms. After we let the cleaner sit for a few minutes, we used a high-speed scrubber to remove the remaining grime from the tiles and grout lines. We also used a steam cleaner on the joints surrounding the counters to ensure they were fully cleaned.

After we made sure the grout lines weren't cracked or chipped, we coated them with our flagship sealant ColorSeal. This high-quality sealant protects grout against unwanted moisture, spills, stains, mold, and mildew. It also comes in a variety of colors to match the customer's choice. The client chose beige to match the color of the tiles. To finish the job, we applied Stone Armor to the entirety of the kitchen floor. This is an impregnating sealant that protects stone tile from the wear and tear that stems from daily kitchen activities and high foot traffic.

As shown by the pictures, the brand-new-looking grout drastically changed the appearance of the kitchen floor. The homeowner couldn't have been happier with the outcome. We had found a solution to his problem. He thanked us and said he would recommend Sir Grout Dallas Fort Worth to his friends and family.

Prior to leaving, we gave the customer some maintenance tips to help him keep his surfaces in good condition. We first recommended cleaning the floor once a week using a damp mop and a pH-neutral cleaner like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. This product doesn't contain soap, so it won't leave any residue behind. We also recommended using a dry mop to wipe away excess moisture and spills from the floor as soon as they happen. These simple practices should keep the floor in great shape until our next visit. The client thanked us for the tips and promised to call back for maintenance.
