A Beautiful Shower in Upper East Side Was Fully Restored by Our Tile Cleaning Crew

November 05, 2024

It's hard to get any gratification after a day of household chores when your bathroom surfaces still show visible signs of decay. This was a big source of frustration for a homeowner in Upper East Side who felt trapped in a cycle of working herself to the bone only to have her shower look worse by the day. The discoloration was glaringly obvious on the shower's white ceramic surface, with some of the tiles taking a dull yellow shade. Moreover, mold grew thick on all the seams, and this only added to the owner's concerns over the shower's structural integrity.


All these factors convinced her to stop using the same cleaning products she'd tried in the past, but she didn't want to just buy a new cleaner and risk an even worse outcome. She decided to contact a professional tile cleaning service in Upper East Side, NY, and her online research showed her that Sir Grout Manhattan was the right company. The homeowner read about previous restorations to get an idea of our floor restoration process and gave us a call to clear some doubts before scheduling an in-home evaluation with our crew.

Following her request, our specialists visited her house the next day to inspect her shower, and the homeowner explained the issue before they started their assessment. Unfortunately, weeks of care didn't stop the shower from looking soiled and neglected, from the dark spot all over the seams to the discoloration permeating the bathtub and walls. From the amount of embedded dirt, our specialists knew that the grout needed to be sealed, and when the client asked about their cleaning equipment, they reassured her that none of their products would subject the surface to harsh ingredients.

They detailed Sir Grout's shower restoration process for her, and she was immediately on board with the plan. Her phone call with our agent gave her a lot of insight into our restoration process, so the decision was a no-brainer.

A few days later, our specialists returned to her house in Upper East Side, NY, and they got to work as soon as the homeowner took them to the bathroom. First, they soaked every surface with a pH-neutral cleaner, making their way around each wall and completing the process with the ceramic bathtub. They carefully scrubbed off all the embedded dirt and got rid of all the stickiness before starting the grout's restoration. By then, the glowing tiles had already looked much better.

For the next step, our experts applied sealant to all the grout lines on the walls on the edge of the tub. Our flagship ColorSeal is the ideal solution to stop dealing with embedded dirt during your weekly cleaning routine. It protects the grout pores from absorbing external elements, reducing the risks of mold, mildew, and grout damage.

Thanks to our crew's work, the clean grout served to enhance the tiles' layout, bringing attention to the shower's classic design. The client was thrilled when she saw the result and promised to recommend our restoration process to all her friends and family.

She was also grateful when our techs offered some additional recommendations to help her improve her cleaning results. They started by saying that chemical-based cleaners are bound to give homeowners more work in the long run because they add to issues like mold and the discoloration of ceramic tiles. The best alternative is Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner, a pH-neutral formula that removes the dirt more thoroughly without exposing your shower to toxic ingredients. Our product permeates hard surfaces to eliminate all traces of dirt, including the soap scum that often makes your shower surfaces feel sticky. It acts without corroding the grout, so the sealant's protection lasts even longer, and homeowners don't have to worry about contaminating their bathrooms with chemical fumes. Our cleaner shows why pH-neutral products are so favored when it comes to the maintenance of residential areas.

Next, our crew recommended looking into the room's ventilation to stop any risks of mold and mildew. A good way to get ahead of the problem is by wiping any pools of water with a towel or a squeegee. You can also make a habit of opening the windows and doors to keep the air circulating across different parts of the house.
