A Kitchen Floor in Long Beach Regained Its Beauty After Our Grout Cleaning Process

January 18, 2025

After nearly a month and several cleaning attempts, a homeowner in Long Beach wasn't satisfied with the appearance of her kitchen floor. The grout looked unrecognizable because of all the dirt that got embedded in its surface, turning the lines black in all parts of the kitchen area. This was the most pressing issue, but the homeowner was also worried about the stains that remained on parts of the ceramic tiles. No matter how much she scrubbed, the marks were still on the floor, making it look soiled and unhygienic.


Despite her reservations about hiring a hard surface restoration company, the homeowner felt very reassured when she found Sir Grout Nassau New York online. She checked many parts of our website, including our picture gallery and testimonial page. Then, she filled out the website's contact form to get in touch with our grout cleaning service in Long Beach. As always, they called her back on the same day, and soon, everything was arranged for an in-home evaluation.

Our experts were welcomed into her house on the appointed date, and the client gave them a rundown of the problem before the start of the inspection. Our experts checked the grout for damage and tested their special cleaner on parts of its porous surface. They also observed the tiles, noticing areas where dirt had left a sticky residue on the ceramic.

Kitchen surfaces are exposed to external elements every day, from soil to food residue, so unsealed grout surfaces can collect stains fairly quickly. That's why we stress the importance of applying sealant to the grout in high-traffic areas and warn clients against the harmful effects of traditional cleaners. On top of leaving a soapy residue on the surface, these products cause discoloration and weaken the sealant's protection over time, so household chores get harder for clients after floors have been constantly exposed to these harsh ingredients.

As our techs told the client, Sir Grout's restoration process is tailored to address all these issues since many homeowners struggle with the effects of soap-based cleaners on tile and grout surfaces. Our experts offered to clean the floor with our professional equipment before sealing the grout to restore its original color. Needless to say, the homeowner was fully on board with the plan.

Following her request, our specialists returned to the house a few days later for the restoration. The first step was cleaning the floor, so they used a surface-safe formula to remove the dirt more effectively. With the help of a high-speed scrubbing machine, our crew worked through all the stains, including the grime on the grout and the marks on the ceramic tiles.

For the next step, they used ColorSeal to recolor the grout to the client's specifications. Available in multiple colors, our signature sealant is the simplest way to give your grout surfaces the ultimate makeover. Its protection works against common kitchen elements like grease, moisture, and the dirt that's spread via foot traffic, so homeowners can go for months without struggling with embedded grime on the grout.

At the end of the process, the ceramic's beautiful layout was on full display, and all the grout lines looked spotless. The homeowner praised our work after marveling at the floor's new look, promising to recommend our services to more people in Long Beach.

Later, when she asked about additional cleaning tips for her floor, our techs knew how to help her. They started by recommending Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner to improve her cleaning results, listing all the benefits that homeowners can expect from pH-neutral formulas. Unlike bleach and other traditional cleaners, our product removes the stains in minutes without weakening the sealant's protection on the grout. There's no risk of discoloration because our product has no harsh ingredients, so homeowners can use it on the same surface multiple times without worrying about harmful side effects.

We also recommend avoiding steel wools and other sharp tools since they're likely to leave scratch marks on the tiles. As long as they're washed beforehand, regular tools like a towel or a mop are enough to ensure the desired result. Last but not least, we remind clients to look into the air quality inside bathroom surfaces. A simple way to improve indoor ventilation is by opening the windows and leaving the doors ajar during the day. This way, fresh air will circulate freely around most parts of the house.
