Grout Cleaning: The Most Effective Way in Soho to Renovate Hospital Bathrooms

February 28, 2018

Cleanliness plays a very important role in achieving a healthy environment, and it is essential in hospitals, as they are subjected to constant exposure to bacteria. The management of this hospital, located in a prominent neighborhood of New York – which assisted many local patients, as well as people from surrounding areas every day – understood the importance of offering clean and attractive facilities. However, they had seen with distress how the bathrooms increasingly deteriorated despite the staff's efforts to keep them in good state. The maintenance staff had tried everything, but the situation seemed to continue worsening, as the grout lines had become stained and cracked. It was an unappealing sight, and they were wasting resources.


They knew that the biggest problem was the grout lines' appearance. So, management decided to solve the situation by hiring a company with the necessary expertise in hard surface restoration. The problem was that they didn't know where to start looking. For that reason, they decided to go online and browse the web for grout cleaning in Soho. They found Sir Grout Manhattan among the first results. The clients decided to visit our website, and after checking out the testimonials, they decided to schedule a free quote at their medical facility.

Our team of professionals identified the problem right after being shown the bathrooms in need of restoration. They said that the grout lines were deeply damaged and needed repair. They also recommended a thorough cleaning service and ColorSealing to prevent further damage to the grout lines.

Grout is a porous material that allows the permeation of water and grime. This absorption can cause damage to the grout. That is why it is advisable to keep an eye on possible signs of deterioration, such as discoloration, brownish spots, cracking, and crumbling. Also, it is important to seek a solution as soon as possible. Grout specialists suggest repairing the grout and sealing it if these signs appear.

Our team returned to the hospital on the planned date to start performing the service, which consisted of a multi-stage procedure that would achieve the level of cleanliness required by the client. The cleaning stage involved chemically stripping the surface; this removed the layer of dirt buildup on the floor. They also cleaned the surface with a high-speed scrubber and soap-less, pH-neutral cleaning products. The final step of this stage required the use of vapor steam cleaning to remove the embedded grime and to eliminate any mold and mildew.

After thoroughly cleaning the surface, it was time to start the corrective stage, during which the team repaired the severely damaged grout. Then, it was time for the prevention stage, where the experts applied Epoxy ColorSeal to the grout lines. This cutting-edge product is exclusively designed for grout lines that are frequently exposed to water – such as those in bathrooms – since its extra tough composition creates a shield against water, dirt, mold, and mildew. Another amazing feature of this sealant is that it reduces maintenance efforts, as dirt particles remain on the surface, making it easier to remove them; this is perfect for big areas that require frequent maintenance like medical facilities. For these bathrooms, an off-white shade of Epoxy ColorSeal was chosen.

Over the course of several days, our team completed the restoration service for 200 patient rooms. Once the job was finished, the customers were shown the outcome. They were very pleased with the results and said that the team had surpassed their expectations. They asserted that they were going to recommend our work to everyone. Before leaving, our specialists recommended our annual maintenance plan to keep the bathroom floors in optimum condition.
