These Bathroom Floors in Alpharetta, GA Were Completely Renewed by Our Team of Tile and Grout Cleaners

September 10, 2020

Most people believe grout is very difficult to maintain. It tends to stain easily and deteriorate over time. A homeowner in Alpharetta, GA had the same belief. Initially, she made sure to clean both bathrooms in her home every week, but this task became harder as time passed. One day, the owner noticed the fixtures had accumulated a lot of dirt, giving them a dingy look. She wanted to have the bathroom floors ready for visits, so she tried cleaning the grout lines using different products and techniques she had found online. Unfortunately, none of her cleaning attempts yielded positive results.


Feeling frustrated, the homeowner went online and searched for advice. After browsing several websites, she found grout is likely to wear down if it's not sealed. Most websites suggested contacting professionals to have grout restored. For that reason, she searched for a team of professional tile and grout cleaners in Alpharetta. She found our website in the top search results. After seeing some of the testimonials and reviews from previous customers, she called to schedule a free in-home consultation.

On the appointed date, our team of experts arrived at the customer's home to assess the situation in both bathrooms. They noticed the floor's grout in both cases had discolored and accumulated dirt in several spots. Our experts gave the client a brief explanation of why the grout had an awful appearance.

Grout is a porous mixture, which is why it's necessary to give it proper maintenance. The best way to keep the grout in good shape is to clean it once a week with a pH-neutral cleaner. These cleaners will not damage grout, unlike acidic products and homemade recipes. In her desperation, the homeowner had used an acidic solution which not only wore out the grout lines, it also discolored them. Acidic cleaners can also harm the grout's sealant, causing the sealant to disappear over time and leaving the grout lines exposed to external agents.

Despite having a worn-out look and needing some repairs, the damage on the grout of both floors was not irreversible. This led our specialists to offer exactly what she needed, a thorough grout cleaning and sealing procedure. To seal the grout lines they would use our proprietary sealant ColorSeal. The homeowner was relieved to hear that, so she agreed to the offer and scheduled another appointment to have the job done.


On the day of the job, our team began the restoration process for both of the bathrooms. They first soaked the floors with a pH-neutral grout-safe cleaner to loosen the embedded dirt. This cleaner ensures the well-being of any surface while providing it with protection against mold and mildew. Next, they used a high-speed scrubber to remove the grime from both floors. Some sections of the floors had accumulated too much grime, so it was necessary to use a vapor steam cleaner to remove it.

After repairing the damaged grout and re-caulking the expansion joints in both bathrooms, our techs applied ColorSeal to the grout lines. This is an acrylic-based sealant that closes off the grout's pores, protecting it against water, stains, water, mold, and mildew. It also comes in a variety of colors, the client chose white to give both bathrooms a pristine appearance.

Once they were done with the sealing process, our experts showed the customer the results. She was happy with the outcome. Her bathrooms were now ready to receive all of her guests. The client thanked our crew for a job well done and assured them she had made the right decision when she hired Sir Grout Atlanta.


Before leaving, our team gave the homeowner a few tips to keep the bathroom floors in good shape. They first recommended cleaning the floors once a week using a pH-neutral cleaner like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Unlike most generic products, this cleaner contains all the necessary ingredients to protect and preserve grout. They also suggested avoiding homemade recipes and acidic solutions because they can damage the surfaces and wear out their sealant. Finally, they advised her to use a dry cloth to wipe away excess moisture. This will help prevent water seepage and mold growth.
