Our Tile and Grout Cleaners Impressed a Homeowner in Hyde Park After Giving His Shower the Most Amazing Makeover

September 12, 2023

A Boston resident became frustrated as soap scum gradually ruined the appearance of his standing shower. The efflorescence was embedded into the tiles to the point that it took away all the appeal of the shower's modern designs, and the stains became noticeable on the tiles surrounding the shower seams. The stains even spread to the ceiling, where the tiles completed the shower's symmetric design.


The homeowner noticed some cracks running along the horizontal joints through one of his many attempts to clean this part of the shower. He needed this final push to contact the best tile and grout cleaners in Hyde Park. One of his neighbors had told him about Sir Grout of Greater Boston weeks before, and the homeowner had kept the information in the back of his mind as he tried to work through the dirt on his own. In the end, he knew that professional assistance was the best long-term solution to preserve the shower's current layout. He found our website online and asked for an in-home evaluation via our "Schedule a Free Quote" form.

On the scheduled date, our specialists inspected his shower at the client's home. Upon entering the shower area, they knew there were multiple problems to address. For one, large amounts of soap scum were stuck to all sides of the shower, particularly on the floor and the lower half of the walls. From the amount of dirt, our specialists knew the sealant had faded long ago, so the client's efforts would do little to remove all the dirt once it seeped into the grout pores and behind the tiles. They explained that chemical cleaners only accelerate the deterioration of hard surfaces, simultaneously eating the sealant and allowing the absorption of liquids. Showers and other bathroom surfaces are particularly vulnerable due to their constant exposure to water and cosmetic products. To solve the problem, our specialists needed to revamp the shower with a deep cleaning service. They also needed to seal the grout and repair the damage on the joints, so they offered to return later for the restoration. The homeowner thanked them for their assessment and scheduled a new appointment.


Our crew returned later that week and didn't waste time once they had all their equipment in place. To clean the shower, they coated each surface with a pH-neutral cleaner and carefully scrubbed off the dirt as it got loose. This cleaner surpasses the effectiveness of most generic cleaners, leaving tile and grout spotless with little effort. It also removes the risk of surface discoloration because it has no harsh ingredients that could eventually affect the tiles.

Our techs removed the old caulk from the joints for the next step. Then, they installed a resistant epoxy grout to ensure the joint's durability against different substances, wear and tear, etc. To protect the rest of the grout, they applied ColorSeal to all the grout lines. Our signature sealant makes all the difference when it comes to routine maintenance. It wards off all sorts of external elements, like water, soap scum, mold, grime, etc. It's reliable enough to keep the grout protected for years and works as the perfect addition to optimize your cleaning routine.

The black and white tiles created a beautiful contrast, and the clean grout highlighted all parts of the shower in a unique way. Having completed the final step of the restoration, our specialists were ready to let the client see the results. He was amazed as soon as he laid eyes on the shower. The entire surface had gone through a spectacular transformation, and now it exuded all the elegance it was always meant to have. The client thanked our specialists for their services and promised to recommend Sir Grout of Greater Boston to all his friends and family.

Before leaving the client's home, our specialists shared some additional cleaning tips. They recommended switching from traditional cleaners to pH-neutral products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. This product combines the most effective ingredients to remove shower stains quickly and without adding chemical formulas into the mix. It removes mold, mildew, and soap scum in little time and preserves the sealant's protection on the grout, so homeowners can enjoy a spotless shower for much longer. Our techs recommended using non-abrasive tools like a towel or squeegee to remove the stains that have dried on the tiles. This is the safest approach to prevent scratches on the delicate surface. They also told the homeowner to open the windows and doors from time to time if he had trouble keeping track of the moisture on his bathroom surfaces. Showers are constantly exposed to dampness and various cleaning products, a combination that can cause too much hassle when mold and mildew make their way into the grout. A sealed grout represents the best way to prevent major damage, but it always helps to keep a dry surface.
