Showers receive heavy daily use. As a result, signs of deterioration can appear quickly. Tiled surfaces require grout to prevent water leakage and other damages. However, it is important to know that grout is prone to absorbing liquids, dirt, and other external agents. When the grout lines are damaged, they become unsightly and difficult to clean. This can lead to more severe issues like mold and mildew growth. Professionals like Sir Grout of Greater Fairfield County have the knowledge to restore the grout and get rid of these problems safely and effectively.

Before and After of this Shower Restoration in Greenwich, CT
A homeowner from Greenwich, CT contacted us because she was having a hard time with the maintenance of her shower. Even after regular cleaning, the grout lines remained full of dirt and the surface looked dingy and rundown. Determined to solve the problem, the owner tried using some DIY cleaning routines she found online. Unfortunately, these methods produced negative results. After struggling for a while, she decided to hire professionals. She heard about Sir Grout of Greater Fairfield County from a friend. He recommended contacting us as soon as possible. She called us, explained the situation, and asked for a free consultation. Later, our Greenwich Tile Cleaning experts restored her shower and revamped its appearance.

Following the owner's request, we visited her house to inspect the shower. She greeted us, and we began the assessment of the surface. We immediately noticed the grout had accumulated dirt and was harboring mold and mildew. Because of this, the grout lines had acquired a dirty look that spoiled the entire appearance of the shower. We spotted missing caulk as well. Soap residue, improper cleaning methods, and harsh products have led to this deterioration. We continued the inspection and found out the grout lines needed sealing. This was a major flaw because the grout was exposed to all sorts of damage. We concluded that conventional cleaning methods wouldn't be effective in restoring the surface.

For the solution, we offered a tile and grout cleaning service. We would remove all the dirt and grime from the shower with our professional equipment and high-quality products. We assured the owner her shower would be perfect when we were finished. She was happy to hear we could solve the problems and decided to hire us.

We returned on the appointed date to restore the shower. This process consisted of several steps. We began by cleaning the surface using our exclusive pH-neutral cleaner and a high-speed scrubber. Our product doesn't leave residue, and it also has enhanced properties that can help inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi, mold and microorganisms. Using a high-temperature steam cleaner, we made sure the surface was fungi-free. After that, we fixed all the issues in the grout lines and addressed the missing caulk. To finish the job, we followed with the sealing process.

We used ColorSeal for this task. Our product is a high-level sealant especially useful for damp areas like showers. It blocks the absorption of liquids and wards off damage from dirt, grime, and all other harmful external agents. It also makes cleaning routines easy and fast by minimizing the need for excessive scrubbing. ColorSeal comes in a variety of colors, allowing the owner to match the grout with the tiles and boost the appearance of the entire shower. When we finished, the surface looked brand-new.

We showed the results of the restoration to our client. The owner was beyond thrilled when she saw the shower. She was happy because all the issues were gone. She couldn't believe the process had been cost-effective and had taken just one day. The owner was impressed by the excellent performance we displayed, and after thanking us, she said she would recommend Sir Grout of Greater Fairfield County to her friends, family, and neighbors.

Before leaving, we gave the owner some suggestions to make maintenance easier and more effective. We recommended setting a weekly cleaning routine. For better results, use only pH-neutral, soap-free cleaners like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Additionally, it is safe for everyone in the house, including pets. We don't recommend soap-based cleaners because they leave a residue that seeps into the grout lines. Products with acidic properties, on the other hand, are harsh and can discolor the grout or cause even more severe damage. It is best to avoid these cleaning solutions.

It is important to keep the area dry and well-ventilated. This will decrease the levels of moisture in the shower and help prevent fungi growth. Leave the door ajar or a window open, especially after hot showers. To dry the surface, use a squeegee, a towel, or a terry cloth rag. Squeegeeing after every use is a great way to keep the shower spotless.
