This Ceramic Floor in Bethel Park Regains All Its Beauty After a Service from Our Grout Sealing Crew

August 31, 2023

A homeowner in Bethel Park, PA, had trouble with her ceramic floor, specifically in the kitchen area and the entryway. The ceramic tiles had lost much of their luster and the grout had become a nasty gray color after the dirt embedded into the surface. The homeowner shuddered to think about the impression she would give to anyone stepping inside the house. Endless scrubbing became part of her daily chores, and it was disheartening to see all that time and effort yield no results on any portion of the floor.


This was the first time she needed the assistance of a home improvement company since moving into her house in Bethel Park, so the homeowner didn't know where to start her search. Luckily, one of her neighbors recommended Sir Grout Pittsburgh, after hearing her talk about her problem, and everything moved quickly from there. The homeowner had no trouble finding us online and she read all she could about our grout sealing in Bethel Park. Not long after, she'd secured an appointment with our specialists for an in-home evaluation.

Our specialists visited the homeowner on the day of the appointment to look at the floors. The soiled grout lines were hard to miss, making the tiles look darker and duller. Our techs noticed the lack of sealant on the grout, which explained the accumulation of dirt on the grout pores. The client had also used multiple soap-based formulas on the floor, expecting to clean some stains. As our specialists explained, these products keep much dirt attached to the surface, creating new issues and gradually weakening the material. The good news was that the homeowner hadn't waited long after her cleaning efforts fell short. There was no lasting damage on the grout, and our specialists confirmed that our special equipment could remove all the stains. The homeowner was relieved and immediately scheduled a new appointment with our crew.

Later that week, our techs returned to her house and got to work right away. The first step of the restoration involved cleaning the floor with a pH-neutral cleaner and a high-speed scrubber. Our techs went from the kitchen to the entryway, making sure that no part of the floor was left untouched. Our cleaner combines high-quality ingredients that allow more efficiency while removing the stains left by dirt, mud, product residue, mold, etc. When all the loose dirt had been cleared, our techs prepared their tools to seal the grout.

They applied ColorSeal to all the grout lines to enhance the grout's protection against external elements. This unique sealant makes grout much more resistant to traffic while warding off liquids, soil, mold, mildew, and other elements that could leave stains on the surface after seeping into the grout pores. It's also available in multiple colors, so it was no hardship for our techs to find the perfect shade to make the grout match the ceramic tiles.

The client got to see the results as soon as our crew was done, and the floor's beauty left her speechless. She was in awe of the transformation and thanked our specialists repeatedly for their fantastic job. She also promised to tell everyone she knew about our surface restoration services.

With the restoration complete, our specialists offered some additional cleaning advice and the homeowner gratefully welcomed their input. Their first recommendation was to use pH-neutral cleaners like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner on the floors and other hard surfaces. Our product greatly simplifies the maintenance of household surfaces without altering the natural beauty of ceramic and grout down the line. More importantly, it enhances cleaning results by removing different stains in little time, ensuring more efficiency in your weekly chores. When the client asked about the best cleaning tools to wipe out dirt and product residue, our techs recommended using a clean mop, a towel, or a terry cloth. This way, the tiles wouldn't be scratched while dealing with the most stubborn stains. Lastly, our techs explained the risks caused by moisture residue, from mold and mildew to the accelerated deterioration of hard surfaces. To counter this, they recommended improving indoor ventilation and keeping an eye on any dampness left after doing chores, having meals, or putting away groceries.
