A key element of keeping your shower looking beautiful and pristine is the grout that holds the tiles in place. Dingy grout lines can make the whole surface look dirty and unclean. For this reason, grout cleaning should be a priority when maintaining your bathroom. However, this is not an easy task. Due to its porous nature, grout holds moisture easily, accumulates dirt, and is difficult to keep clean. It can even become cracked, which can cause more serious structural problems because grout is what prevents water from leaking into the walls. In a damp and moist area, it can become a harbor for mold and bacteria, posing a health risk for everyone in the house. Furthermore, using improper cleaning processes and harsh chemicals can permanently damage the grout. Once this happens, it can't be restored with conventional methods. Only professionals have the experience and procedures to correctly rectify these issues.

Before and After Picture of a shower Grout Cleaning Job in Houston, Tx
A family from Houston, TX was struggling to keep their shower looking clean and healthy. The daily wear and tear had taken a toll on the grout lines, giving them a dirty and muddy look. The family was big, so the shower received a high amount of use. Keeping the house clean was a responsibility for everyone in the house. Cleaning routines were thorough and all the family members contributed and tried not to miss one. Nevertheless, the shower had become a difficult area to maintain. No matter how much they cleaned it, they didn't notice any improvements in the condition of the grout lines. The unsightly blemishes remained, giving the shower an unclean appearance. They were in a bind and needed our grout cleaning experts in Houston, TX to rescue their shower.

Before contacting us, they decided to use some DIY methods they found online to clean the shower. The procedures claimed to be useful for restoring grout lines, so they were hopeful their problems would be solved. As instructed in the guides they found, they applied a baking soda paste to the stained grout, and after letting it sit for a while, they began scrubbing with a toothbrush. They spent most of the day painstakingly performing this task. Unfortunately, when they finished, the condition of the grout lines hadn't improved. Luckily, they decided to call a friend who was a former Sir Grout Houston client. She knew exactly what to recommend to the family.

They explained the problem. The friend told them it was similar to what happened to her bathroom. We fully restored her bathroom with our professional techniques and special equipment. She immediately recommended checking out our website to get more information and to contact us. They took her advice and went online to browse our site. They carefully went through it, and our picture gallery caught their attention. The pictures showcased the results we provide with our award-winning processes. They were impressed with the quality of our work and the level of restoration we can achieve on any damaged surface. After reading the comments from previous satisfied clients who certified us as a leading company in hard surface restoration, they decided to schedule a free in-home consultation by filling out a "Request a Quote" from.

A few days later, we arrived at their house to perform the evaluation of the shower and to offer the most effective solution for the problem. The owners greeted us, and after the introductions, we proceeded with the assessment of the surface. We noticed the grout lines on the floor were discolored, cracked, muddy, and moldy. The joints on the walls suffered from the same issues, and the tiles were dingy and stained. This was caused by improper cleaning methods and the usage of harsh products. Also, the surface was unsealed, allowing water, dirt, grime, and soap scum to seep deep into the grout, which caused mold and mildew to grow. The grout lines remained dirty in spite of their best effort to clean them because the harmful agents and the grout had become one. The shower required our experienced assistance to be restored.

We offered a grout cleaning service to restore the shower using our proprietary products and advanced techniques. We would use our top-notch sealant, ColorSeal, a one of a kind product that would protect the grout against water, stains, mold, and mildew. We would also perform any repairs necessary on the grout lines. To finish, we would buff the tiles using TileArmor, a non-toxic solution that grants an extra layer of protection to the tiles, warding off damages and making cleaning routines easier and faster. We assured the owners that after we finished our work, their shower would look clean and spotless. They were pleased with our assessment, and after hearing we could solve their problem, they immediately agreed to set up a date for the job.

We returned on the appointed date to perform the shower's restoration. Our grout cleaning process consists of several steps that require our special techniques, professional tools, and the highest quality products. We began by cleaning the walls and floor using our pH-neutral tile and grout cleaner with a gentle, high-speed scrubber. The product we use is safe for the tiles and grout because it won't leave any residue that could be absorbed by the grout lines, thereby preventing stains or discoloration. Also, it now has an enhanced formula that can help inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi, mold and microorganisms. We made sure the surface was spotless and proceeded to eliminate the mold. We used a high temperature steam cleaner to remove the fungi from the wall's joints. Once this was done, we performed all repairs the grout lines needed to leave them looking pristine and brand-new. However, while working on the floor, we found several loose tiles.

We rectified this problem by reinstalling the tiles and making sure they were properly sealed. After all the cleaning and the repairs were completed, we were ready to begin the next step.We sealed the grout lines with our top of the line ColorSeal. Our proprietary sealant blocks the absorption of liquids and protects the surface against dirt, grime, and all other harmful external agents. It makes cleaning routines easier and faster because excessive scrubbing is not necessary when the grout lines are fully sealed. It also enhances the look of the surface by giving the grout a uniform color and a renewed appearance. It comes in a variety of colors. We used the one desired by the owners. We finished by buffing the tiles with our exclusive TileArmor. This unique product wards off damages by giving the tiles an extra layer of protection that is highly resistant to water and stains. With the right maintenance, it lasts for a long time.

When we completed all the steps, the shower had been completely restored. It had a clean and refreshed appearance with no traces mold, soap scum, or dirt. The grout lines looked beautiful, had a vibrant color, and were fully protected, thanks to our sealant. The tiles were properly installed and recovered their natural charm. This remarkable restoration could have only been accomplished with our professional work, tested techniques, and our top-notch products.

We invited our clients to see the outcome of our grout cleaning process. The owners were impressed with the renovation of their shower; it had an unbelievable brand-new appearance. They were thrilled to see that all the dirty spots had been removed from the surface. The family was amazed by the quality of our work, and after thanking us, they said we had become their company of choice for hard surface restoration, and from that point on, they would recommend our service to all their friends, family, and neighbors. We provide our clients the best solution for their problem and guarantee long lasting, easy to maintain results.

We always take time before leaving to train our clients on how to perform proper maintenance on their restored surface. We gave the family some recommendations and suggestions to make their cleaning routines easier, faster, safer, and more effective.
  • Use only pH-neutral, soap free cleaners, such as our Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Our product is harmless for the grout because it doesn't leave any sticky residue. Also, it has ingredients that can help provide protection against bacteria and fungi. Soap-based cleaners should be avoided because they leave a film that seeps deep into the grout lines, giving the surface an unsightly appearance and promoting mold and mildew growth. Establish a cleaning routine and clean the shower regularly.

  • Keep the area well ventilated and dry. Due to the humidity of the environment, proper ventilation is important to prevent fungi growth. The door or a window should be left open after using the shower to allow the moisture to flow freely. Also, when drying the surface, use a squeegee, a towel or a terry cloth. Scrub gently to avoid scratches, after our ColorSeal is applied, minimal effort is required to dry the surface.

  • Try to use gel or liquid soaps instead of bar soaps. The residue left by bar soaps hardens on the surface and forms soap scum. This creates nasty-looking stains that can't be removed with conventional cleaning methods. We suggest using soaps that don't leave any residue to prevent this issue.
These easy to follow steps, our advanced techniques, and top of the line products would help maintain the great condition of the shower for years to come.
