A Shower in Massapequa Looks Gorgeous Thanks to Our Tile Cleaning Process

December 18, 2024

A homeowner in Massapequa couldn't stand the appearance of her master shower and did everything she could to stop the damage from spreading. Store-bought cleaners did little to remove the stains, so the homeowner tried a homemade solution to detach at least some of the dirt that was trapped between the tiles. This approach was also unsuccessful, to the point that parts of the grout went loose at an alarming pace. It became obvious that the shower required the skills of a hard surface professional.


Sir Grout Nassau New York popped up at the top of the owner's online results, and everything she read on our website showed her that she could trust the opinion of our tile cleaning experts in Massapequa. So, she headed to our contact form and completed her request for an in-home evaluation. As always, our techs responded promptly, and the homeowner welcomed them into her house only a couple of days later.

The signs of deterioration were obvious in several parts of the shower, particularly on the floor and the seams. The grout from the corner joints had started to fall apart, leaving a small layer of debris all around the floor. Meanwhile, large stains covered parts of the floor and the walls, making the shower look soiled and unattractive. Regular cleaners trap much of the dirt under a foamy film that permeates porous surfaces, and a homemade mix with vinegar and water is more likely to corrode the grout. This is why the homeowner's efforts seemed to only make the shower look worse.

With all this in mind, our specialists offered their services to restore the damage before it affected the shower's structural integrity. They needed to deep clean the entire shower stall before making the necessary repairs on the grout, so they offered to return at a later date to complete the process. The client immediately jumped at the chance and thanked them for all their assistance.

At her request, our experts returned before the end of the week for the restoration. Inside the shower, they soaked every surface with a non-toxic cleaner and let the product sit for a few minutes before scrubbing off all the embedded dirt. They worked through all traces of mold and soap scum, vapor cleaning the shower at the end of the process to remove any residue that remained on harder-to-reach surfaces.

Next, our specialists applied ColorSeal to all the grout lines on the floor and the walls, enhancing their protection against efflorescence, mold, and mildew. To repair the seams, our crew carefully installed mold-resistant epoxy grout around the floor and on all the corners. This would stop the water from seeping behind the tiles and prevent the worst effects of wear and tear.

With their service, our techs made the grout match the tiles, successfully restoring the color contrast between the floor and the walls. Likewise, their thorough cleaning service left the entire stall looking spotless, including the threshold and the glass door. It's no surprise that the homeowner was so impressed with their work, and she praised their skills before promising to recommend our services to more people in Massapequa.

Our techs had a few key recommendations to help the client with her cleaning routine. When she asked about ways to remove the dirt without exposing the tiles to harsh ingredients, they introduced Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner as the ideal solution. Our product combines all the benefits that make pH-neutral formulas superior because it removes common shower stains easily without requiring the use of chemical products. It works against mold, mildew, and soap scum, even on harder-to-reach surfaces like the shower seams.

A successful cleaning routine doesn't require too much hassle. Just by combining pH-neutral cleaners with non-abrasive tools, you can keep a spotless shower for days before your next cleaning session. Our specialists recommend using a towel, a terry cloth, or a squeegee to remove all traces of grime and soap from shower surfaces without scratching the ceramic.

When it comes to the best environment for your shower surfaces, pH-neutral cleaners already do a lot by ruling out the risk caused by toxic fumes in your living spaces. Still, our experts also recommend opening the windows and doors to let more fresh air into your home and prevent the spread of mold between your shower tiles.
