This Gorgeous Floor in Lexington Shows All the Benefits of Our Stone Cleaning Process

February 20, 2025

A homeowner in Lexington knew that taking care of stone surfaces could be a challenge, but she'd always managed to preserve the beauty of her bathroom floor. Unfortunately, her dedication wasn't enough to prevent the effect of soap-based cleaners on the tiles, making them look worn down after a few months. The change was all the more noticeable next to the other stone surfaces in the room, and that convinced the homeowner to ask the opinion of a hard surface restoration professional.


One online search was all it took for her to find the perfect solution, with Sir Grout of Greater Boston taking the lead of her search results. The owner was delighted by every new piece of information and ended her research with the plan of getting the assistance of our stone cleaning service in Lexington. After a quick phone call with one of our agents, she secured an appointment with our specialists, hoping to get a solution for her problem before the end of the week.

On the appointed date, our techs went to her home in Lexington to inspect the bathroom floor, and the homeowner welcomed them in upon seeing their identified vehicle in the driveway. They took their time inspecting every tile, as well as the stains on the grout, before deciding on the best course of action. It was obvious that the stone had lost much of its natural shine to soap and other abrasive ingredients, and our experts explained that generic products are harsh enough to dull the tiles' color over time. Meanwhile, the grout had gone unsealed for a while, as shown by numerous marks on the white lines between the tiles.

Having checked the floor for any signs of structural damage, our specialists concluded that a deep cleaning service with Sir Grout's special equipment would be enough to restore the tiles' former appearance. They also needed to apply sealant to the grout, or the porous surface would collect more dirt until its color was completely hidden under the stains. The client agreed with this plan and set a new date for the restoration after our techs were done with their assessment.

Following her request, they returned to the house the next day with all the necessary equipment. To start the process, they removed all the marks and embedded dirt with a non-toxic cleaner, letting the product sit on the tiles for a few minutes before they ran a high-speed scrubber across the entire floor.

Our experts were meticulous during this part of the process, and they made sure that there were no traces of grime or soap left between the tiles before they began sealing the grout. Then, they applied ColorSeal to all the grout lines on the floor. The homeowner wanted the grout to match the white pattern on the smooth black tiles, so our techs recolored the surface accordingly. By the end of the process, the grout looked spotless while having the best protection against soil, soap, mold, and other external elements.

Near the end of the process, our crew applied stone sealant to all the tiles and buffed the floor to bring out the tiles' elegant coloring. The client was thrilled with the result when they showed it to her and admired the floor's brand-new glow for a long time.

After thanking our specialists for their services, she asked for additional cleaning pointers. Our techs started by recommending pH-neutral cleaners to avoid the effect of harsh ingredients on the grout. Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner combines the right components to simplify your chores and improve the end result. It enhances the glow of natural stone surfaces with results that stay for hours after removing all the stains, all without subjecting users to the fumes you'd get from most store-bought cleaners. Our pH-neutral formula is the perfect solution to improve the maintenance of bathroom surfaces and preserve the beauty of your floors.

Next, our crew recommended using non-abrasive tools to avoid scratching the stone while working through the worst stains. The right products and tools are enough to preserve the floor's post-restoration look while keeping up with dust and any spills that could happen during the day.

Lastly, they shared a reminder about the importance of good indoor ventilation. Fresh air does a lot to keep moisture from affecting harder-to-reach surfaces and stops the spread of mold and mildew. The client thanked our crew once again and promised to recommend our services to all the people she knew in the area.
