Our Grout Cleaning Services Made This Shower in Winter Park, FL, Look Impeccable

July 04, 2024

Small tiles are a fantastic choice if you want to make your shower stand out. Not only do they make an enclosed room appear wider, but they're also easier to replace if the surface needs to be repaired. Additionally, they're less slippery, which is convenient in areas that are constantly exposed to water. There is, however, a big downside to small tiles. When the grout lines get moldy and dark, the stains become quite obvious.


A homeowner from Winter Park, FL, recently contacted us after trying several cleaning methods on his master shower. These methods ranged from store-bought products to homemade recipes, but none of them worked. He finally made peace with the fact that he needed professional help and started looking for a grour cleaning company in Winter Park. Shortly after finding our website, he started browsing the Before and After gallery depicting jobs we had previously carried out, and this made the final decision a lot easier. The homeowner scheduled a free evaluation online and our techs responded not long after to hash out the details of their visit.

On the day of the consultation, we finally got to see the shower our client had described over the phone. It was a ceramic tile shower with a small-tiled floor. Unfortunately, a mixture of dirt and mold covered most of the grout lines, giving the floor an unappealing appearance. The tiles were also covered in dirt and soap scum, particularly on the area surrounding the drain.


During the inspection, we asked the client if the surfaces had ever been sealed. He said they had been sealed when he initially moved into the house about two years before. He didn't know that when showers aren't properly sealed, water might seep beneath the porous surface and stimulate mold growth.

In conclusion, the shower needed a thorough restoration, and our techs knew just how to make the results last. After we finished the evaluation, we offered the client a tile and grout cleaning procedure to restore the shower. The restoration also entailed sealing the grout on the floor and walls with our impregnating sealant. Thoroughly convinced after hearing our crew's assessment, the customer accepted our proposal and chose a date for the job.

Later that week, we went back to the client's home to perform the restoration. To start off the process, we soaked the shower's surfaces with a non-toxic cleaner, effectively loosening the embedded dirt on the tiles and grout lines. Then, we vapor cleaned the shower stall to eradicate the mold that usually grows on harder-to-reach surfaces like the seams around the shower step.

Once everything was clean, we performed the necessary repairs on the grout and moved on to the final step. We applied ColorSeal to restore the grout's original color and protect it from new stains. Our proprietary sealant works as a durable barrier that repels water, mold, and mildew, so it's the perfect solution to make routine cleaning more effective.

The restoration was complete and outcome exceeded the homeowner's expectations. He was amazed by how clean the grout lines looked, and loved the shower's new, impeccable appearance. After thanking us for a job well done, he also said he would recommend our services to his friends and family.

Before leaving, we shared a few useful tips with the client to help him keep the shower in its current state. First, we recommended cleaning bathroom surfaces with pH-neutral formulas like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. This cleaner won't damage grout nor break it down like other products sometimes do after repeated use. It reaches embedded dirt in all parts of the shower and works without releasing toxic fumes into the air, meaning that it's easier to keep a hygienic environment in your bathroom area.

We also recommended to keep the shower stall properly ventilated, especially after hot showers. Fresh air helps prevent the growth of mold and helps you prevent strange odors and stickiness inside your shower stall. Wiping out any residue also helps, which is why we also remind clients to scrub off any pools of water with a towel or a squegee.
