This Kitchen Floor in Arlington Has the Best Look Thanks to Our Tile and Grout Cleaners

December 12, 2023

A homeowner in Arlington had suffered for weeks as her kitchen floor seemed to become a magnet for dirt. She couldn't see how her regular cleaning methods failed her so terribly, but the fact remained that there was dirt embedded in almost every inch of the grout and in most of the tiles' pores. In a way, it was understandable, as the kitchen was the most active part of the house at almost any given time of the day, but the homeowner still couldn't figure out why it was impossible to get the dirt out once it got stuck to the floor.


Weeks passed and the homeowner still couldn't make any progress, bouncing from store-bought products to homemade cleaning recipes she'd found online. Finally, she changed tactics and started looking for the best tile and grout cleaners in Arlington, knowing that she wanted a thorough result. Sir Grout Washington DC Metro popped up at the top of her online search results, and she was instantly amazed by the results in all our areas of expertise. Less than an hour after finding our website, the homeowner filled out the "Schedule a FREE Quote" form asking for an in-home evaluation.

Our techs went to her home a couple of days later to inspect the kitchen floor. The homeowner led them to the kitchen and they could see the dark grout before properly getting into the room. Sadly, the brown grout lines ruined the design created by the ceramic tiles and stripped the kitchen of its charm. After taking a closer look, our techs asked the client about her cleaning products and she listed some traditional cleaners and a homemade solution that used vinegar as its active ingredient. Our techs explained that these products can only worsen tile and grout damage after a while; they create a foamy film that keeps the dirt on the surface and even trigger discoloration, among other problems. The client was upset, but our techs were quick to reassure her that there was no lasting damage to the floor's surface. Sir Grout's equipment could remove all the stains and a sealant would be the most effective way to make her cleaning more effective. The client was obviously eager to get our services after hearing this, so she scheduled a new appointment with our techs at the end of the evaluation.

On the agreed-upon date, our techs returned to the client's home with all the necessary equipment. They soaked the floor with a pH-neutral cleaner and started removing the loose dirt with a high-speed scrubber. Homeowners can rely on our cleaner to succeed at what multiple store-bought products fail to do. Our cleaner combines high-quality ingredients to remove the stains that are embedded deep in the surface. Keeping a floor spotless becomes much easier, even in kitchens and other high-traffic areas.

When there were no traces of dirt left on the grout or the ceramic tiles, our techs got ready for the next part of the process. They applied our acrylic-based sealant on all the grout lines and gave the grout a whole new look. Our signature ColorSeal provides the most powerful protection to ward off water, mold, mildew, soil, food residue, and many other external elements. It's also available in multiple colors to ensure the best result in the esthetic department. Following the client's wishes, our techs recolored the grout to match the beige tones on the floor's larger tiles, and the new grout lines suited the kitchen in the best way.

Lastly, our techs buffed the entire floor and invited the client back into the kitchen. As expected, she was thrilled by the results, and she couldn't stop marveling at the grout's transformation. It truly modernized the kitchen as a whole.

Now that the restoration was complete, our techs shared some cleaning tips with the client that would help with the problems they'd listed during the initial evaluation. They recommended using pH-neutral products Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner over homemade formulas and traditional cleaners. Our product is way more effective when it comes to removing the stains left by product residue, grease, mold, grime, and other substances. It achieves better results without compromising the surface and it works wonders when combined with the sealant's protection on the floors. Our techs also told the client to clean all traces of moisture after using the kitchen. If she left drops or spill residue lying around, it would take some extra scrubbing to get off the stain's imprint on the tiles. Still, kitchen surfaces are subjected to all manner of products and elements, so it's important to know what to do with larger stains. A mop, a clean towel, or a terry cloth would be the best choice to wipe out spills, footprints, etc. Our techs ended the appointment with a general reminder to open the windows and doors as a way to help the room's ventilation. The client was grateful after they shared all their pointers and promised to recommend Sir Grout Washington DC Metro to all her friends and acquaintances.
