This Natural Stone Went Through an Amazing Restoration by Seattle Stone Cleaning Pros

January 22, 2022

A Seattle, WA, resident was fed up with the state of her natural stone foyer. Thankfully, she discovered Sir Grout, and we were able to assist her in resolving her issue. The owner noted the stone tiles had an unattractive appearance when undertaking routine cleaning. She noticed no improvement despite her best efforts. She attempted various DIY methods she found online in order to repair the surface. Unfortunately, nothing worked.


The owner opted to hire professionals after some thought. Fortunately, her quest took her to Sir Grout Seattle. She came across an advertisement from us in a magazine while seeking a hard surface restoration company and instantly went online to visit our website. She was confident we were the best in town after looking through our picture gallery and reading the good feedback from our happy customers. She contacted us, explained the problem, and requested a free consultation. The floor was effectively restored by our Seattle Stone Cleaning professionals and the floor now looks magnificent.

We went to the owner's residence to evaluate the natural stone floor at her request. We identified the issues right away and proposed a viable solution. We were instantly aware of the issues. The stone tiles were dull and ugly, and the grout lines were filthy. As a result, the entire surface had an unattractive aspect. After a closer look, we discovered that the grout needed to be sealed. The porous nature of this sensitive component allows it to absorb exogenous chemicals. This can cause rapid degradation and additional damage. We came to the conclusion after the evaluation that normal cleaning would not deliver the solution the owner was looking for. Sir Grout's skilled procedure and top-of-the-line equipment were required to restore the surface. We offered a stone cleaning service to remove all of the blemishes and restore the stone's appearance. The owner was pleased with the offer and hired us for the task without a doubt in her mind.

We returned after the scheduled appointment to restore the travertine foyer. To begin our complete stone cleaning process, we used our exclusive stone-safe cleaner and a high-speed scrubber to clean the surface. Our product is pH-neutral, does not include any harsh components, and will not harm the stone or grout. Our cleaning loosens the soiling effectively, and our machine scrubs it away. After that, we steam cleaned the area to remove any dirt that had become lodged. Once the stone's surface was completely clear, we were ready to hone it. We repaired the damage with three sets of our special equipment, increasing the grit level of the diamond on each one. We kept grinding until there were no more indications of degradation. To get the owner's desired glossy finish, we applied special polishing powders. This procedure was continued until the desired degree of shine was achieved.

We continued the sealing process after fixing the grout. We utilized Sir Grout's ColorSeal to assure long-lasting results. Our top-of-the-line sealant has a long list of advantages and delivers unrivaled protection. It prevents discoloration and other indicators of deterioration by repelling dirt, filth, and other external contaminants. ColorSeal significantly improves the surface by providing the grout lines a fresh look and a consistent color. It is available in a variety of colors, allowing the owner to match the tiles to the grout. The foyer looked fantastic when we were done, and the stone surface had regained its original brightness.

Our client was overjoyed with the outstanding results of our effort. She was happy with how quickly, efficiently, and simple the process had gone. She thanked us and said she would tell her friends about Sir Grout Seattle.

Foyers demand regular cleaning and upkeep. These surfaces are subjected to a lot of everyday activity and can soon deteriorate. The easiest approach to keep these difficult areas looking beautiful is to follow our guidelines. We recommend using only soap-free cleaners like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner on a regular basis. Our product is produced with high-quality components and leaves no residue. It's also non-toxic and pet-friendly. Soap-based cleaners and acidic substances should be avoided. These products contain strong chemicals that leave foam behind in the grout, and travertine can be damaged by these compounds, resulting in dull spots, etching, and other issues. It's also important to keep the stone dry. To clean the floor, use a terry cloth or a towel. Steel wool and other abrasive equipment should be avoided since they can damage the tiles.

It doesn't have to be a time-consuming and arduous task to restore an old natural stone foyer. It can be simple and quick with Sir Grout Seattle's help.
