Find Out How Our Tile and Grout Cleaners Transformed This Shower Floor in Canton

November 12, 2024

On top of making the floors more slippery, mold and soap scum can cause a lot of damage to your shower surface, so it's important to stop the issue as soon as you see the first few stains. A homeowner on Canton had increased her cleaning efforts with this idea in mind, but it wasn't long before the grout on her shower floor was covered in dark brown stains.


After weighing in all her options, the homeowner decided that hiring a hard surface professional was her best shot to restore the floor. She started looking for companies online and was intrigued by all the positive reviews about Sir Grout Hartford and our tile and grout cleaners in Canton. A peek into our picture gallery confirmed that the praise was well deserved, so the homeowner was very confident when she contacted us for an in-home evaluation.

On the appointed date, our crew visited her house to look at the shower floor, and the homeowner greeted them right away. They took their time inspecting the surface, noting how the stains made the floor look dull and worn down despite weeks of constant care. Mold spread from the corners to most of the grout, and our specialists even found traces of embedded dirt that went unnoticed thanks to the splashes of brown in the ceramic tiles. They explained that soap-based cleaners will only make the problem worse over time, keeping the grout covered by a foamy film that would only attract more mold to its surface. Between that and the effects of moisture buildup, the porous surface needed to be sealed as soon as possible to prevent more damage. With this, the homeowner had no trouble making a decision, and she immediately set a date for the restoration.

Our experts returned a couple of days later, as scheduled. They quickly prepared the shower stall for the job and began getting the dirt off the floor. To do this, they applied a non-toxic formula before vapor cleaning the shower for maximum effectiveness in harder-to-reach areas.

It was time to seal the grout, so our specialists applied ColorSeal to make the lines match the tiles once again. Resistant to water, mold, soap scum, and other external elements, our powerful sealant is the ideal solution to keep a clean grout in high-traffic areas. You can expose your shower to water and soap every day, and our sealant will ensure that nothing seeps into the grout pores.

Then, our techs applied slip-resistant sealant to the tiles, enhancing their natural beauty and their protection against external elements. They showed the result to the client and she was thrilled with the floor's new look. She thanked us for restoring the beauty of her shower and promised to recommend our services to all her friends and family.

At the end of their visit, our experts shared some additional tips to prevent the spread of mold on shower surfaces. The client wasn't eager to go back to generic cleaning products, so our first recommendation was to try pH-neutral formulas like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Unlike nearly any other option available today, our cleaner removes all the dirt that gets stuck on the grout, including mold, soap scum, and shower sediments. You can preserve the color of your shower surfaces because our cleaner effectively counters the discoloration caused by hard water or chemical products. This way, your weekly cleaning routine is more effective, and you don't have to get used to toxic fumes in the air.

Here are other ways to prevent the contamination of showers and other bathroom surfaces: First, it's important to avoid leaving pools of water on the floor since it needlessly creates more exposure to the minerals in hard water. We recommend making a habit of wiping out the moisture with a towel or a terry cloth to prevent scratching the tiles.

Then, make sure to encourage more circulation of fresh air if the bathroom has poor ventilation. By opening the windows and doors for a few hours, you can vastly improve the air quality and minimize the risk of mold on the shower seams.
