Incredible Results for These Surfaces, Thanks to a Grout Cleaning Job in Pottstown, PA

June 29, 2018

When it comes to houses, homeowners always want to maintain their homes as clean and perfect as possible. Many people have problems cleaning areas like the living room, the kitchen, and the dining room due to the high amount of foot traffic these areas receive. It is often difficult to schedule a normal cleaning routine for these areas, which can further complicate matters.


Since keeping high-traffic areas clean can be a challenge, many homeowners give up trying to clean them regularly. Ignoring these areas can lead to more problems in the future, which is why many homeowners turn to professional help, such as grout cleaning experts in Pottstown, PA.

Our latest homeowner, a man living in a Pottstown neighborhood, was in need of professional help. His family would be visiting for a couple of days. The homeowner's daughter was graduating and there would be many guests for the celebration.

The homeowner saw many signs of decay in the kitchen, the dining room, and the laundry room. He had tried many methods and products for cleaning. He even applied techniques he found in a few DIY videos but nothing seemed to work. As time passed, the deterioration of the tiles and grout lines only became worse.

The man couldn't stand seeing his living room, laundry room, and kitchen getting progressively worse. He decided he needed professional help. Since he was inexperienced with this kind of problem, he had no idea where to find hard surface restoration services in the town. Fortunately, his mother, who lived in West Chester, PA, had hired a company to restore her master shower. The company was Sir Grout of Greater Chester County. The homeowner contacted us, and after gathering the information we needed, we scheduled a date for a free in-home evaluation.


On the day of the scheduled appointment, our tile and grout cleaners went to the customer's home to examine the floors and to offer a quick and effective solution. When they entered the house and saw the problem, they were able to quickly identify the cause. Improper cleaning products and methods were the culprit. They inspected the laundry and living room floors and found the same issues. Our experts told the homeowner that a proper grout cleaning service would be sufficient to solve the problem. The homeowner accepted the offer and scheduled a date to get the job done.

Grout is a crucial step in the installation of tile, but it requires care and maintenance. It's important for homeowners to know what methods will work. Harsh products and improper cleaning methods will eventually cause damage to the surfaces. Soap-based products and acidic cleaning products can be detrimental to your tiles. Soapy products can leave a film on the surface that attracts dirt, which is the reason the grout lines become dull and have a yellowish appearance.

On the day of the job, our team of professionals arrived at the home to solve the problem. They began the restoration process in the kitchen by applying a pH-neutral non-toxic cleaner to the floor. They let it soak for several minutes, then our team used a high-speed scrubber to remove the accumulated dirt.

After cleaning the kitchen floor, it was necessary to finish the process by applying Sir Grout's proprietary sealant, ColorSeal. This product makes grout lines water-, stain-, and mold-resistant and its wide assortment of colors allows homeowners to match their grout line and tiles.

When our technicians finished all of the rooms, they showed the customer the results. He was thrilled to see how effective a professional grout cleaning service had been on the surfaces. They looked new again. The homeowner thanked us for the job and mentioned he would recommend our company to anyone experiencing a hard surface problem.

Before leaving, our team gave the homeowner some care and maintenance tips to help him preserve his grout lines in the future. They suggested never using soap-based cleaning products because these products can damage tiles and grout lines. We suggested using soap-free pH-neutral cleaners. Our technicians also advised against using harsh scrubbers because they can damage the surface. They also recommended cleaning the floors on a regular basis to help prevent dirt accumulation.
