Our Techs Revamped a Shower in Wethersfield With Their Amazing Tile Cleaning Services

July 02, 2024

Bathroom cleaning is never easy, but things get much more stressful when there's no immediate solution to soiled walls and damaged grout. A homeowner in Wethersfield had tried different ways to improve the appearance of her shower. In the end, both store-bought cleaners and DIY solutions yielded disappointing results, so the homeowner decided to leave the problem in the hands of a professional.


Before she could spend too much time looking through different local companies, she discovered Sir Grout Hartford online. A few minutes of browsing our website was enough to pique her interest about our tile cleaning service in Wethersfield, so she decided to schedule an in-home evaluation online.

On the appointed date, the homeowner was eager to hear our expert's assessment on the shower, and they didn't keep her waiting. They arrived early that morning in an identified vehicle so the client recognized them right away. Inside the bathroom, our techs could immediately began their inspection and took note of all the areas that needed work.


The entire ceramic surface was covered in a thick layer of efflorescence. The stains ran across every wall and took a dark gray color on the floor, ultimately hiding the pattern created by the black and white tiles. The grout had also absorbed a lot of liquid and our crew saw mold spread around most of the grout lines. They explained that traditional cleaners would only leave the porous surface more vulnerable to damage, as shown by the damaged seams. When the client asked about the most effective way to deal with the issue, they offered to return later that week so they could give the shower a complete overhaul. The client gratefully took their offer and set a date for the restoration.

Our specialists returned to the house a few days later, as per her request. For the first part of the process, they deep cleaned the shower stall from top to bottom. This part of the process entailed using a surface-safe cleaner to simplify the removal of all the stains and a 275-degree vapor steamer to ensure that no traces of mold remained on any part of the shower.

Then, our techs worked through all the areas where the caulk had gone loose, installing water-resistant epoxy grout on the seams and the corner joints on the ceiling and the floor. They also sealed the grout lines on all sides of the shower to keep external elements from seeping into the porous surface. Our ColorSeal is available in multiple colors to match any setting and its powerful protection keeps the grout spotless for a long time.

The restoration was complete not long after, and it was time for the client to see the result. She was beyond pleased with the shower's new look and marveled at its beauty for a long time. Later, she also promised to recommend our services to everyone she knew in Wethersfield.

Near the end of their visit, our techs went over some additional cleaning tips. They started with a reminder of the risks of using chemical-based cleaners on tile and grout surfaces. As they told the client, pH-neutral formulas like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner are safer and more effective overall. With our product, homeowners can save time while removing large stains from harder-to-reach surfaces. It works against mold, mildew, soap scum, and other external elements that usually get stuck between your shower tiles. The result is always amazing, and you don't have to release toxic fumes inside your home. Our product has no acidic imbalances, so your shower surfaces won't be subjected to harmful ingredients.

Next, our team recommended to avoid scrubbing with steel wools and other abrasive tools. This may result in scratch marks on the surface and parts of the dirt might remain between the tiles. The best way to go about it is with a towel, a terry cloth, or a squeegee, just make sure that all your cleaning tools are properly washed beforehand.

Last but not least, we always remind clients to encourage the circulation of fresh air around bathroom surfaces. Just by opening the windows and doors from time to time, you can create a healthier environment and reduce the chances of mold around your shower seams.
