A Floor in Brookline Village Looks Stunning After a Top-Tier Service from Our Tile and Grout Cleaners

October 14, 2024

A beautiful property in Brookline Village and its century-old terracotta floor, were still standing, showing the durability and quality of its hard surfaces. All it needed was the expertise of a hard surface professional who could bring it back to its former glory. Out of all parts of the house, the floors in the main living room area had suffered the most, especially after the terracotta surface was exposed during some major renovations.


The owner wanted to preserve the floor's classic beauty as part of the property's legacy, so he knew that he couldn't trust just anyone with the task. As soon as he found Sir Grout of Greater Boston and learned more about our tile and grout cleaners in Brookline Village, he knew that the floor would be in good hands. He'd examined our picture gallery and other parts of our website before making this decision, and was fully confident by the time he filled out the form to get in touch with us. It only took him a few minutes to complete his request, and our experts didn't keep him waiting for long.

They arrived at the place at the appointed date, only few days later. The owner led them to the large living room so they could begin the inspection while giving them some context on the area and its history. The floor was discolored beyond recognition, with heaps of dust and debris that spread all over the tiles. As such, the beauty of the terracotta surface was totally hidden, but our specialists quickly confirmed that there were no cracks or signs of structural damage. They just needed to use Sir Grout's professional equipment to restore their original appearance.


The owner listened attentively as they explained the problem after stating that regular cleaners wouldn't do much against so much embedded dirt. He agreed to their plan after getting a full rundown of our restoration process, knowing that our methods wouldn't subject the terracotta floor to harsh treatment or chemical ingredients.

So, our specialists returned to the property a couple days later, as per the client's request. They took their time cleaning the floor to ensure that no dirt remained between the tiles. For this, our specialists used a surface-safe cleaner and a high-speed scrubbing machine, making several laps across the large room to ensure a thorough result.


The color of the tiles looked more vivid, but there were still some steps to complete. Our techs applied a high-end gloss coating to fully restore their original color and shine, and by the end of it, the century-year old floor looked brand new. The terracotta surface shone beautifully, and the pattern on the tiles looked sharp and vibrant, even from a distance.

The owner was fully impressed with the result, and he had nothing but praise for our techs after assessing their work on the terracotta tiles. He thanked them for their services and promised to tell everyone he knew about the quality of our restoration process.

These are the recommendations we share with both homeowners and business owners at the end of each appointment. Since regular cleaners are not ideal for a weekly cleaning routine, our techs always start by recommending pH-neutral formulas like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Most store-bought products have enough soap to leave residue on the surface, as well as acidic imbalances that play a part in the corrosion of your grout. By contrast, our cleaner removes all the embedded dirt without needing any of these ingredients, so there's no need to worry about soap residue or toxic fumes. You can eliminate all traces of soil, grime, and mold in less time and much more effectively, without any risks of discoloration or grout damage.

Our specialists also recommend choosing the right tools to avoid the risk of permanent marks on the tiles. The best way to go about it is with a towel, a mop, or a terry cloth, so you can remove all the embedded dirt without scratching your floors in the process.

Last but not least, make sure to open the windows and doors in areas where there's not enough circulation of fresh air. The rooms in this property had grown stuffy after months of limited ventilation, and this can leave a mark on delicate terracotta surfaces, not to mention higher chances of mold and mildew.
