Our Tile and Grout Cleaners Made a Kitchen Floor in Guilford Look Better than Ever

November 27, 2023

A dirty kitchen is the fastest way to ruin anyone's impression of your home, even if you keep all other parts of the house in pristine condition. A homeowner in Guilford, CT, was well aware of this, so it's no wonder she turned all her attention to her kitchen when heaps of dirt suddenly became part of the floor's layout. No part of the grout had been spared and it had a shocking effect on the kitchen area as a whole.


Despite all of this, the homeowner had looked after her household for years, so she knew what the next step was. She set out to find professional assistance after doing all she could on her own. That's how she came across Sir Grout Hartford while looking for restoration companies in the area. The homeowner immediately wanted to learn more about our tile and grout cleaners in Guilford, so she took her time reading through our website. Later, our techs agreed to her request for an in-home evaluation, and the homeowner got a confidence boost for the first time in weeks.

On the day of the appointment, our techs visited the client's house to look at her kitchen floor. They didn't rush during the inspection, checking the soiled tiles and the amount of dirt that gathered on top of the grout. It was impossible to miss the black grout lines clashing against all the other parts of the kitchen and that only highlighted the dark spots that made the ceramic look duller and lifeless. Our specialists confirmed that the grout had gone unsealed for at least a couple of years and explained the effects of generic cleaners to the homeowner. Basically, these products have multiple chemicals in their formula, and continued exposure to these elements can weaken hard surfaces in the long term. Tile discoloration is a common problem in these cases, and grout damage is much more likely when there's no sealant protecting the grout's porous surface. Thankfully, none of these problems had developed long enough to permanently affect the kitchen floor, so our techs knew that they could work through all the stains with their cleaning and sealing services. They described the process to the homeowner and she asked them to come back at a later date for the restoration.

So, our techs returned to her home a few days later with all the necessary equipment. The first step involved removing all the embedded dirt from the grout lines and the tiles. Our crew soaked the floor in a powerful cleaning formula and used a high-speed scrubber to catch the grime and soil once it was loose enough. Because our cleaner has a quick effect on most common sources of dirt, our specialists can usually work through several stains in a relatively short time, all without using any other products on hard surfaces.

Next, they carefully applied ColorSeal to all the grout lines. Our high-end sealant doesn't only improves the grout's overall appearance; it also provides strong protection to repel external liquids and elements. This way, homeowners can rest assured knowing that they don't have to deal with countless stains each time there's foot traffic around the house. Sir Grout's ColorSeal preserves your floor's grout for months on end so nothing is out of place when it's time to show off your living spaces.

It took only a few minutes for our techs to remove the sealant's residue and buff the kitchen floor for the last time. Then, they called the client back into the kitchen to let her see the results. The floor looked amazing. From the smooth-looking tiles to the clean grout lines, its unique design was once again in full view. The homeowner loved the floor's new look and felt like she could be at ease when using her kitchen without worrying about carrying more dirt to the grout. She thanked our specialists for providing such exceptional assistance from the moment she first reached out to them.

The restoration was complete and the homeowner couldn't be happier. Before leaving, our techs gave her some additional pointers to help along with her chores in the future. They recommended pH-neutral cleaners like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner to get better results on her weekly cleaning. While most store-bought products do a lackluster job of removing all the embedded dirt, our high-end formula simplifies the most tiresome parts of cleaning and maintenance. It removes dirt, mold, and liquids with little scrubbing, and preserves the sealant to ensure fewer instances of grout damage.

Our cleaner works like a charm when combined with non-abrasive tools, so we recommend using a mop, a fresh towel, or a terry cloth to remove the dirt from floors and other hard surfaces. Our specialists also suggested using doormats to reduce the amount of dirt running around the house and opening the windows in areas that are constantly affected by moisture buildup, like the kitchen and the bathrooms.
