A Homeowner in Golden Was Impressed by the Quality of Our Hard Surface Restoration Services

July 17, 2024

There's no shortage of issues that could affect a shower at any time. Moisture and soap scum are a given, but other factors also come into play. A homeowner in Golden, CO couldn't stand the appearance of the shower in his master bathroom, especially after trying to get rid of the stains for months on end. All the walls were discolored as soap scum settled on the tiles, and the seams looked completely unrecognizable.


The homeowner's cleaning attempts only confirmed that professional assistance was needed. He didn't know what to expect when he started his search online, but Sir Grout Golden immediately went above and beyond everything he was looking for. Our picture gallery left him speechless and the rest of our website made him all the more eager to contact our hard surface restoration services in Golden.

The homeowner did just that. He headed to our online scheduler and filled out the form to request an in-home evaluation with our crew. Our specialists arrived at his house on the appointed date and, as soon as they began the inspection, they realized that the shower needed a lot of work.

Soap residue ran along the walls, staining almost every tile inside the shower stall. The discoloration took a dark yellow hue around the seams, where the minerals in hard water seeped into the grout. The grout lines on the floor didn't look much better, and traces of mold were stuck on the lower half of the walls. Our techs explained that moisture can do much damage in little time when no sealant protects the grout's porous surface. Bleach and other traditional cleaners add to the problem by trapping the dirt under a soapy film because the grout pores are open to even more dirt. After reviewing all the areas that needed attention, our experts stated that they needed to repair the horizontal seams and the corner joints.

At the client's request, they returned to the house the following day, as always donning Sir Grout's logo on their uniform. They prepared the shower stall before spreading a permeating cleaner across every surface. While working through the stains, they paid special attention to harder-to-reach areas where the mold was thicker and vapor-cleaned the entire shower for good measure.

It was time to repair the grout, so the old caulk was removed and replaced with water-resistant epoxy grout. Unlike cement-based grout, our epoxy solution doesn't absorb liquids and external elements so it can withstand weeks of wear and tear without showing any signs of decay.

For the grout on the walls and the floor, our techs used ColorSeal, an acrylic-based sealant that keeps the grout spotless for a long time while repelling mold, mildew, soap residue, and more. The client chose a white sealant to enhance the color contrast between the grout lines and the tiles, and the result truly enhanced shower's good looks.

The restoration was a success and the homeowner was delighted with the result. He admired the shower's beauty from every angle and promised to recommend our services all around Golden, CO.

While putting away their equipment, our techs shared some additional pointers. These tips will also come in handy during your own cleaning routine, so take notes if you want to improve the maintenance of your residential surfaces.

First, we go over the risks of using bleach and other traditional cleaners, and recommend using pH-neutral formulas like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Our product doesn't leave grout surfaces more vulnerable to damage because it provides a deep cleaning effect without weakening the sealant's protection. It also helps keep a safer environment for people and pets because there are no toxic fumes released into the air.

Choosing the right tools is just as important, which is why we also recommend using non-abrasive tools when cleaning tile and grout surfaces. You can scrub off the surface using a towel, a terry cloth, or a squeegee to avoid leaving scratch marks behind.

Lastly, remember to open the windows and doors from time to time since bathroom surfaces don't always get enough fresh air to counter the growth of mold and mildew.
