Our Tile and Grout Cleaners Transformed a Shower in Durham With Their Amazing Restoration Services

January 05, 2025

Every homeowner knows that discipline is a key ingredient in a successful cleaning routine, but what happens when all that dedication yields no results? A Durham couple was both upset and frustrated with the appearance of their master shower. They'd been dedicating hours to scrubbing off the mold between the tiles, but things didn't get any easier with time.


The stains only grew larger and darker, and cleaning the floor seams was particularly difficult since the couple found cracked grout on the floor joints and were afraid of subjecting it to harsh treatment. This was the last straw that led them to contact our tile and grout cleaners in Durham. They found Sir Grout Durham online while looking for ways to repair the damage to the shower, and after weeks of disappointment, the homeowners felt a sense of relief as they read about our services. They gave us a call and were surprised by how little time it took to secure a visit from our techs.

On the scheduled date, the couple welcomed our specialists into their home so they could look at the master shower. From the start, they knew that the shower needed a lot of work: a lot of water had seeped behind the tiles, making way for the accumulation of mold on the grout. There were dark stains on the walls and the floor, but most of the dirt was spread around the horizontal seams, where large brown spots ruined the shower's impressive appearance.

The couple wanted to know why their cleaners had brought such poor results, so our techs explained that most store-bought products have harsh ingredients that could damage porous surfaces after a while. The effects of these ingredients only add to the problems caused by moisture and soap on shower surfaces, making it harder for homeowners to keep their showers looking pristine throughout the week. Our team reassured the couple that our professional equipment could address all the problems and restore all parts of the shower to their brand-new look, so the clients didn't hesitate to schedule a new appointment with us.

They welcomed our crew the following day, and our techs got to work right away. First, they deep cleaned the shower after soaking every surface with a non-toxic cleaner. Between that and a 275-degree vapor steamer, our equipment allowed them to remove all traces of mold from the floor, walls, and corner joints.

Next, they restored the grout's color by applying our flagship ColorSeal to the lines on the floor and the walls. Sir Grout's acrylic-based sealant is the perfect solution to help you keep grout surfaces stain-free for much longer, repelling external elements like soap, mold, mildew, grime, and more. There's no better way to bring an instant improvement to a household's cleaning routine.

By then, it was time to repair the damage to the seams. Our specialists removed the old caulk and installed epoxy grout around the floors, enhancing the joints' resistance to wear and tear. Our powerful epoxy doesn't absorb water and mold, ruling out the worst risks of cement-based grout.

Our team's hard work paid off. The shower looked spotless, and the floor seams were the perfect example of our grout restoration skills. After marveling at every part of the master shower, the homeowners promised to recommend our services to more people in Durham and thanked our team for their wonderful work.

We know that it's not always easy to recognize the best cleaners out of all the options in the market. That's why our techs' first recommendation before leaving the house was to use only pH-neutral products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Our unique cleaning formula is the surest way to improve a shower's everyday look because it combines the most effective ingredients to eliminate the dirt in minutes, preserving tile and grout surfaces without exposing them to damage. As our specialists explained, pH-neutral cleaners are the perfect solution to forget about the soapy residue left by bleach and other traditional products.

When it comes to the rest of the cleaning equipment, the homeowner had always been careful to keep sharp tools away from her shower surfaces, so there was not much to say on that front. We always recommend using a towel, a terry cloth, or a squeegee to clean shower surfaces without scratching the tiles; just remember to wash your tools in advance, or you'll be bringing more dirt into your bathroom area.

Our last recommendation was to open the windows and doors to keep good indoor ventilation. Bathrooms and other small spaces can easily be affected by mold and mildew when there's no fresh air circulating in and out of the room. Good air quality will reduce the chances of moisture buildup and simplify the maintenance of your bathroom surfaces.
