Our Techs Gave This Shower in Watkinsville a New Look With Our Grout Cleaning Process

February 15, 2024

Showers are one of the most frequently used areas of the home and can be difficult to maintain. In many cases, professional help is required to restore long-term damage caused by day-to-day wear or improper cleaning methods. Our client in Watkinsville, GA, had a similar problem with her shower. Even with regular cleaning, the grout lines remained stained, dark, and unappealing.


After deciding it was time to seek professional assistance, the owner went online and searched for grout cleaning services in Watkinsville, Georgia, and found Sir Grout Athens 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 gave her the confidence 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 appointed day. We quickly assessed the problems the owner was concerned about in her shower and noticed soap scum stains on the surface. We explained that this problem occurs when the minerals in water combine with soap and dirt to create a layer of scaliness over the surface. In addition, the grout wasn't adequately sealed, which contributed to the staining and decay.

After discussing our assessment of the shower with the owner, we suggested the best solution to restore the surface. We recommended our 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 properly address the grout, color seal it to bring back its original color, and ensure the surface would look like new again.

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

We arrived on the appointed day and time, ready to restore the shower. 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 shower's surface.

Next, we used a vapor steam cleaner to remove embedded dirt and kill mold spores. Satisfied the surface was spotless, we regrouted the floor with epoxy. Unlike common mixtures, this product isn't porous and can withstand heavy wear and tear. It's ideal for showers because it's resistant to mold and mildew.

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 told our 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, providing a new look.

After cleaning up, we met with our client and showed her the results. The owner loved the renewed appearance of the surface and said she felt like she'd stepped into a new shower. She thanked us for a job that exceeded her expectations and promised to recommend Sir Grout's services to family and friends with any hard surface-related issues like hers. 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 health threat, 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 by leaving a door or window open, and, after using the shower, drying surfaces with a squeegee, towel, or terry cloth.
