Ceramic tile floors are a popular choice for kitchen and dining areas because of their classy, clean look. For a homeowner in Downingtown, PA, her kitchen was no exception. The kitchen floor had beautiful ceramic tiles, but the grout lines were dirty. After she tried cleaning the grout lines with different products and saw no results, she realized there was something else going on. This prompted her to go online and search for possible ways to clean the grout on the kitchen floor. Some websites suggested cleaning the grout lines with an acidic homemade recipe, which she tried. Not only had her attempt to clean the grout failed, the grout lines had also become darker.

Concerned, the homeowner went online once again. After browsing several websites, she found that these problems often happen when the sealant has worn off. She also read that it is best to thoroughly clean the grout lines before sealing them to avoid unnecessary expenses. Most websites suggested contacting professionals to have the grout lines repaired. For this reason, the homeowner decided to search for Downingtown grout cleaning services. She found our website within the top results. After browsing the picture gallery and seeing the testimonials from satisfied customers, she called to set up a free in-home consultation.

A few days later, our team arrived at the customer's house to evaluate the surface. They went to examine the kitchen floor to determine the source of the problem. Due to their light color, the ceramic tiles made the dingy grout lines stand out. The client told our experts that the grout lines had proved very difficult to clean. She also admitted to using acidic solutions and other methods she had found online after they asked her about her cleaning routine.

After they finished the evaluation, our techs explained the situation to the customer. The sealant on the kitchen floor's grout had completely worn off, allowing dirt and moisture into the grout lines. Due to its porous structure, grout can be easily damaged by external agents if it's not properly sealed. Even though the floor's grout was in bad condition, our experts assured the homeowner they could repair the grout lines with a grout cleaning service and a grout sealing procedure with our flagship sealant, ColorSeal. Feeling reassured, the homeowner agreed to the offer and scheduled an appointment for later that week.

On the day of the job, our experts went back to the customer's house to perform the job. They carefully carried out a thorough step by step process to get the homeowner's kitchen floor back in shape. First, they soaked the surface with a pH-neutral cleaner that is safe for both tile and grout. This cleaner also contains ingredients that will help keep the surfaces protected from harmful microorganisms for an extended period of time after it has been applied. After they let the cleaner soak for a couple of minutes, they continued with the second step of the cleaning process. They used a high-speed scrubber to remove all the dirt from the tiles and the grime from the grout lines.

Our experts made sure that no dirt or residue were left behind before they moved on to the third and final step, which is the application of our proprietary sealant, ColorSeal. This is a high-quality sealant that is both stainproof and waterproof, protecting the grout lines against grime, mold, mildew, and other harmful external agents.

When our team was done, they let the customer see the results. The homeowner noticed that Sir Grout of Greater Chester County's job had drastically changed the appearance of her kitchen floor. She was pleased with the results and thanked our team for a job well done.

To ensure the grout lines on the kitchen floor kept looking great, our team gave the homeowner some maintenance tips before they left. First, they recommended cleaning once a week with a pH-neutral cleaner that is safe for tile and grout, such as Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. This cleaner will not damage grout or wear out the grout's sealant. Second, they suggested wiping away any food spills or excessive moisture. Finally, they advised the customer to stay away from homemade recipes because more often than not, they can lead to costly repairs.
