Our Tile and Grout Cleaners Revamped This Shower in Tacoma, WA

March 19, 2024

Tiles and grout can become unsightly over time, especially in busy areas like showers and bathrooms. In many cases, standard methods aren't enough to address damage caused by harsh cleaning products or day-to-day wear, requiring professional help. Our client from Tacoma, WA, contacted us because she had a similar problem.


Over the years, her shower deteriorated, and despite her cleaning efforts, she couldn't keep it as clean as she liked. After trying several failed methods, she decided it was best to seek professional assistance. She went online and searched for tile and grout cleaners in Tacoma, Washington, and found Sir Grout Tacoma at the top of Google's results.

She visited our user-friendly website and read through some of our informative blog posts, then she checked out our picture gallery, which gave her the confidence to fill out our online scheduler to request a free evaluation at her convenience.

Following her request, we arrived on time, in our Sir Grout vehicle and in uniform. We went right to work and quickly assessed the issues in her shower. We saw right away that the surface was in poor condition, with grimy, moldy tiles, and that the grout wasn't adequately sealed. We explained that grout is porous, and when it's unsealed, it becomes susceptible to staining, discoloration, and decay.

After finishing the inspection and sharing our insight with the owner, we suggested the best solution to restore the surface. We recommended our tile and grout cleaning and sealing service using professional equipment and our proprietary products, which are the safest and most advanced on the market. We assured her we could effectively repair the damage, enhance and shield the grout, and give the surface a complete renovation.

We detailed the work we would do and provided a no-obligation quote. The owner was happy with the reasonable quote and the solution we offered, so she scheduled a time and date that was convenient for us to return to do the job.

We returned to our client's house on the scheduled day and time to restore the shower. To ensure that the area was protected during our work, we covered it with clear plastic and masking tape. We then set up our equipment and started our multi-step restoration process, keeping the homeowner informed and answering her questions.

We began by deep-cleaning the surface using a high-speed scrubber and our exclusive cleaner. This superior product, crafted with top-quality ingredients, ensures thorough cleaning without leaving any residue or causing harm to the surface.

For the following step, we steam-cleaned the area to remove embedded dirt and kill mold spores. When the surface was spotless, we repaired the damaged grout, giving the surface a beautiful, consistent appearance.

To finish the job, we sealed the grout lines with our flagship sealant, ColorSeal. Our high-quality product protects against dirt, water, stains, and other damage. It also reduces wear and tear, so our clients can easily maintain their surfaces.

ColorSeal is a superior sealant that gives grout a uniform color and a completely revitalized appearance, improving the surface tenfold. In addition, our large variety of colors almost always ensures our customers can find a color that matches their tiles, or choose a new one to give their surfaces a makeover.

As we cleaned up, we met with our client to show her the results. She was very happy to see the renewed appearance of the surface and said the results were even better than she'd hoped.

She thanked us and promised to recommend our services to family and friends with hard surface-related issues they might have. She also mentioned she would leave a five-star review on Google to make sure that others knew about the outstanding services Sir Grout provides.

As always, we took the time to give our client some recommendations and helpful tips for maintaining her restored shower. We suggested a weekly cleaning routine using pH-neutral and soap-free cleaners like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. We told her it delivers remarkable results, and because it's non-toxic, it's safe for everyone in the home, including pets.

We advised against using soap-based products or substances with acidic properties because they contain harsh chemicals that can damage the surface. They also leave behind a residue that seeps into the grout, which leads to discoloration, staining, and several other issues.

It is also important to take measures to help prevent mold and mildew growth. These fungi live in darkness and thrive in damp environments, so we suggested keeping the area well-lit when possible, providing a source of fresh air, and drying the surfaces with a squeegee, towel, or terry cloth.
