A Shower in Greenpoint Received Top-Notch Services from Our Grout Sealing Crew

October 14, 2024

It's hard to spend time on routine cleaning when you don't see any tangible results in the most important parts of your home. A homeowner in Greenpoint, NY, didn't want to give up on her shower surfaces, but she knew that she wouldn't be able to make any difference with the help of a hard surface professional. The white ceramic had taken an unsightly yellow hue after weeks of exposure to soap scum, and mold kept growing on the seams despite the homeowner's efforts to preserve the bathroom's hygiene.


One of the reasons she'd hesitated on contacting a local restoration service was her wariness about trusting a stranger with her bathroom surfaces. Those concerns disappeared after she discovered Sir Grout Brooklyn and our grout sealing service in Greenpoint, NY. Each new piece of information only made her more confident about trusting our crew, so she decided that scheduling a free in-home evaluation was the best way to get a read on our techs and their methods.

She made her request via the website's contact form, and our specialists responded right away. A few days later, they were at her house, where the homeowner took them to the shower for the inspection. Our crew spotted some of the issues right away, but they still took their time checking all parts of the grout to confirm that there were no cracks to repair.

The ceramic in both the walls and the bathtub was severely discolored, and they explained that this happened due to a combination of hard water and the chemicals in most cleaning products. Unfortunately, most of the cleaners you see every day have abrasive ingredients that can corrode tile and grout surfaces over time. They can even add to the accumulation of dirt on the grout, as shown by the amount of mold that was embedded in the seams. Sir Grout's shower restoration process could solve all these issues and preserve the shower against more damage, so our experts described each step for the client so she could make a decision. By that point, she already trusted their expertise, so she didn't hesitate before scheduling a new visit for the restoration.

Following her request, our specialists returned to the house later that week with all the necessary equipment. The first step was cleaning the shower, so they used a surface-safe cleaner to remove all the embedded dirt and a vapor steamer to address all the mold on the seams.

Once every surface was spotless, our crew made some minor repairs to the corner joints before applying sealant to the grout. Thanks to our acrylic-based ColorSeal, grout surfaces can be exposed to water, soap, and shower sediments before being buried under layers of dirt. Our sealant wards off all the external elements so grout lines can stay spotless for much longer, even in high-traffic areas where routine cleaning is often a challenge.

After checking for any last-minute details, our experts called the client back into the bathroom. The restoration was a complete success, and she was in awe of the shower's pristine look. The ceramic had regained its natural color, and there were no traces of mold on the grout, so the client was beyond satisfied with the result.

Before ending the appointment, our experts shared some additional tips to make routine maintenance more effective. They'd already explained the risks of generic cleaners during the inspection, so when the client asked for alternatives, our techs recommended pH-neutral formulas like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. While soap-based cleaners do a surface-level job that ultimately adds to the damage of grout surfaces, our product provides all you want for your shower: maximum cleaning power and no harmful side effects. You can clean tile and grout surfaces in less time, and you can use our product as often as needed without exposing the surface to harsh ingredients. Removing mold, mildew, and efflorescence becomes a simple task, where you don't have to waste time mixing multiple cleaners.

PH-neutral cleaners also represent a step to securing a safer environment for you and your family because there are no toxic fumes permeating your bathroom surfaces. Another way to protect your shower's hygiene is by opening the windows nearby, since good indoor ventilation is the quickest way to stop the growth of mold. Our techs also recommended wiping out any leftover pools of water with a towel or a squeegee to prevent moisture buildup and its damage to grout surfaces. Our team shared all these tips with the client, and she promised to pass the recommendation to her friends and family after thanking them for their services.
