Find Out How Our Tile and Grout Cleaners Transformed This Shower in Richmond, TX

January 15, 2026

No one wants to see mold on their bathroom surfaces, but the fact remains that this is a widespread problem for many homeowners. A homeowner in Richmond was accustomed to dealing with mold traces on his shower, but he could tell that the state of the grout required the expertise of a professional. None of his cleaners managed to remove the dirt from the porous surface, so many parts of the shower had a sticky, unhygienic appearance. This extended to the tiles, where soap scum made the ceramic surface appear worn.


Initially, the owner worried about trusting a stranger with any part of his master bathroom, but his opinion changed the moment he met Sir Grout Houston. After reading about our tile and grout cleaners in Richmond, he couldn't wait to secure an appointment, so he was thrilled when we confirmed a visit that same week.

On the agreed-upon date, our crew went to the client's house for an in-home evaluation, and we were immediately led to the shower in the master bathroom. The state of the grout was evident from the amount of embedded mold between the tiles, both on the walls and the floor. The deterioration of the joints was also very noticeable, particularly on the corner near the shower door. The grout had gone loose, and water had seeped behind the tiles as a result.

Since the grout had sat unsealed for a while, its porous surface had absorbed a significant amount of dirt, making the discoloration beyond the power of traditional cleaners. As our experts explained, these products actually make things worse because they create a soapy layer that keeps the soil stuck on top of it. Dirt spreads more quickly, and it's much harder for homeowners to counter the resulting discoloration.

The best way to deal with the issue was with a professional cleaning and regrouting service. Our specialists reassured the client that our methods would enhance the grout's resistance to wear and tear, preventing major structural problems in the future. The homeowner thanked us for the assistance and scheduled a new appointment to have his shower restored.

Two days later, our team was back inside his master bathroom, readying the shower for the job. Once everything was in place, we used a surface-safe cleaner to remove all the dirt, and then vapor cleaned the stall to address the moldy spots on the corner joints fully. This winning combination loosens the dirt in minutes, enabling us to make quick progress on large bathroom surfaces.

It was time to restore the seams, so our experts carefully installed an epoxy solution around the floor after removing the damaged caulk. Our epoxy grout is inherently non-porous, providing a clear improvement over the shortcomings of cement-based grout. I won't absorb the water from the shower or external elements like efflorescence, mold, and mildew, providing all the durability you need to avoid damage for a long time.

Lastly, we applied ColorSeal on the wall grout, successfully restoring its natural color. Thanks to our acrylic-based sealant, you can preserve your shower surfaces more effectively, as it creates a powerful barrier that keeps external elements off your grout.

With this, our crew managed to leave the shower looking as good as new. The homeowner couldn't be happier, and he thanked us for doing such an excellent job, praising our hard surface restoration process in the process.

Before leaving the client's house, our techs shared some additional cleaning recommendations. We knew that generic products wouldn't stop the reappearance of mold around the seams, so our first pointer was to use pH-neutral cleaners instead. Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner proves that your chores can be more straightforward and more effective at the same time. You only need our product to remove dirt in minutes, even in hard-to-reach areas like shower joints. And because there are no toxic fumes to worry about, you can use our cleaner in any part of the house without contaminating the air or endangering the people nearby.

We also recommend preventing the accumulation of moisture on shower surfaces. You can make a habit of wiping out any liquid residue with a towel or a squeegee so the surface stays dry for most of the day. Another way to counteract moisture is by opening the windows and leaving the doors ajar, allowing more fresh air to circulate inside the room. After all, mold spreads much more quickly once the air becomes stale, so that a fresh environment will save you a lot of trouble.

Remove all dirt from your shower without risking the harmful effects of chemical cleaners.
