Our Grout Sealing Technicians Performed a Masterful Restoration on This Dingy Surface in Reston

February 28, 2022

A homeowner from Reston, VA, had issues with her bathroom floor. She was not happy because the grout lines had a dark color and as a result, her floors looked dirty. The owner tried to solve the issue, but her cleaning attempts didn't provide the results she expected. Frustrated because she couldn't improve the color of the grout, she decided to contact a professional hard surface restoration company. Thankfully, Sir Grout Washington DC Metro offered a timely solution.


The owner heard about us from one of her friends. He had hired us a few months earlier, and since then, became a loyal Sir Grout Washington DC Metro client. When she asked for advice, he immediately recommended our Reston Grout Sealing services, saying we were the best in town. To learn more about us, the owner went online and visited our website. After browsing our picture gallery, and reading the positive feedback from our satisfied customers, she called us and requested a free assessment.

The request was quickly processed, and a few days later, we visited her house to provide the in-home consultation. The owner welcomed us and showed us the troublesome area. As we entered, we noticed the problems. The grout was stained and it had acquired a dark tone, which gave the surface an unsanitary appearance. With closer inspection, we learned the grout lines were unsealed. This common mixture is porous and it was exposed to all sorts of external agents. To prevent further deterioration, it was necessary to apply a special sealant.

After the thorough evaluation, we had acquired enough information to offer a solution. We had determined common methods wouldn't be effective, so the restoration would require our grout sealing process. With this procedure, we would improve the bathroom with a new look, and give the surfaces a protective shield. To prove the efficacy of this process, we briefly tested our products on the surface. The owner was very impressed with the results and she hired us without hesitation.

Soon after performing the inspection, we returned to begin the restoration. First, we cleaned the surface, using our exclusive cleaner and a high-speed scrubber. Our product won't cause any damage because it doesn't contain harsh components. It also offers many other benefits and doesn't leave a residue. Our cleaner loosens the soiling and our machine scrubs it out. Once the surface was spotless, it was time for the grout repairs.

Regular cleaning is not effective against certain damages like stains or discoloration. For this reason, the task becomes a headache for many homeowners. However, we have the tools and the knowledge to deal with all these issues without a problem. We worked on the entire surface, giving the grout lines a full makeover. After that, we followed with the sealing process.

For optimal results, we applied a coating of Sir Grout's ColorSeal. Our flagship sealant has a highly durable composition and provides long-lasting protection. It wards off dirt, grime, and other external agents, reducing deterioration. Our sealers also offer strong UV defense, for areas subjected to solar damage. ColorSeal greatly improves the surface by giving the grout a uniform color and a brand-new appearance. Our clients can select from a wide range of colors, so they can match the tiles with the grout. Our work yielded a successful restoration, the surfaces had been completely revamped, and the floors looked wonderful.

With our goal accomplished, we called our client and showed her the results. The owner loved the renewed appearance of her bathroom. She was very happy because the grout lines looked clean and with a new color. After thanking us, she said our performance had surpassed all her expectations and before we left, she assured us she would recommend Sir Grout Washington DC Metro to her friends, family, and neighbors.

Tiled surfaces subjected to constant wear and tear can deteriorate quickly and require proper care. Following Sir Grout's recommendations is the best way to keep these challenging areas looking beautiful. To prevent the accumulation of dirt, we suggested setting up a weekly cleaning routine. For more effective results, use only pH-neutral products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Our product is soap-free and offers many benefits. It is also non-toxic and safe for everyone in the house, including pets.

We don't recommend using soap-based cleaners or substances with acidic properties. These products contain harsh agents that can be harmful to the surface. They also leave a residue that seeps into the grout, which contributes to decay, causing stains and discoloration. This can harm the surface and can cause severe problems like structural damage. While cleaning the area, apply the solution using a clean mop and make sure to prevent foot traffic on the wet surface. Let the floor dry completely before entering the room again, and never clean the surface with abrasive tools because they can leave scratches.
