Our Tile and Grout Cleaners Gave a Complete Makeover to This Shower in Glen Allen, VA

February 18, 2024

Showers can be difficult to maintain because they are one of the most frequently used areas of the home. Professional help is often required to restore long-term damage caused by day-to-day wear or improper cleaning methods. Our client from Glen Allen, VA, contacted us because she had a similar problem. The owner cleaned her shower regularly, but despite her efforts, the surface still looked dirty and unappealing.


After trying other methods that didn't work, the owner decided to look for professional assistance. She went online and searched for tile and grout cleaners in Glen Allen, Virginia, and found Sir Grout Richmond at the top of Google's results.

The homeowner visited our user-friendly website and was happy to find all the information she needed. She read a few of our blog posts and browsed our picture gallery, which instilled the confidence she needed to fill out our online scheduler to request a free evaluation on a day and time that was most convenient for her.

As always, we arrived on time, in uniform, and in our Sir Grout vehicle on the inspection day. We quickly assessed the issues on the shower and noticed the surface was in poor condition. The tiles had an unsightly appearance, and the grout wasn't adequately sealed, which contributed to the staining, discoloration, and decay.

After discussing our assessment with the owner, we suggested the best solution to fix the problems and restore the surface. We recommended our tile and grout cleaning and sealing service using Sir Grout's proprietary products because they are the safest, most advanced products on the market. We told her we would address the damage, color seal the grout to revamp its color, and ensure the shower would look like new again.

We gave her a no-obligation quote detailing the work we would perform. She was surprised at how reasonable the quote was and immediately requested to schedule the job on a future date and time that was convenient for her.

On the appointed day and time, we returned with everything we needed to restore the surface. After preparing the area with clear plastic and masking tape to ensure it was protected while we worked, we set up our equipment and began our multi-step process, letting the homeowner know we were available to answer any questions she might have.

First, we cleaned the surface using a high-speed scrubber and our exclusive cleaner. We explained to the client that our product uses high-quality ingredients that wouldn't leave a residue or damage the surface.

Next, we used a vapor steam cleaner to remove embedded dirt and kill mold spores. When the surface was spotless, we repaired decaying and damaged grout to ensure a beautiful, consistent appearance.

Finally, we sealed the grout lines with our flagship sealant, ColorSeal, a high-quality product that protects against dirt, water, stains, and other damage. In addition, it reduces wear and tear, making it easier for the homeowner to maintain.

During our free assessment, we explained to the client that our ColorSeal stands out because it gives grout a uniform color and a completely revitalized appearance, improving the surface tenfold. In addition, our large variety of colors almost always ensures we have a color to match the original color of the grout, or many homeowners choose to change it to give a new look to their surfaces.

After cleaning up, we met with our client and showed her the results. The owner loved the renewed appearance of the surface and said the shower looked perfect. She thanked us for a job that exceeded her expectations and promised to recommend our services to family and friends with similar problems. She also mentioned she would leave a five-star review on Google to ensure others knew about Sir Grout's outstanding products and services.

Before leaving, we gave the homeowner some recommendations and helpful tips for maintaining her shower. We suggested a weekly cleaning routine using pH-neutral and soap-free cleaners like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. We told her it delivers remarkable results, and because it's non-toxic, it won't harm anyone in her household, including pets.

We also suggested she avoid using soap-based products or substances with acidic properties because they contain harsh chemicals that damage the surface and leave a residue that often seeps into the grout, causing discoloration, staining, and other issues.

Since mold and mildew are a potential threat in damp environments, we emphasized the importance of taking measures to help prevent their growth. We suggested keeping the area well-lit when possible, providing a source of fresh air, and after using the shower, drying the surfaces with a squeegee, towel, or terry cloth.
