Our Tile and Grout Cleaners Made a Shower in Spring Look Gorgeous

November 12, 2025

After months of planning a significant move to her dream house, a Spring resident was getting closer to listing her property. Naturally, she wanted every room to look picture-perfect, and that goal was met mainly in most parts of the house. Her biggest challenge, however, was the shower in the master bathroom, where all her cleaning efforts couldn't entirely remove the embedded dirt.


The owner recognized that finding a solution to this issue was crucial to securing reasonable offers after listing the house for sale, so she turned to the internet for professional assistance. From the moment she read about Sir Grout Houston, she felt intrigued by our restoration process and reassured by all our years of experience in the field. So, she decided to get in touch with our tile and grout cleaners in Spring right after reading about the option to schedule an in-home evaluation, heading to our website's contact form to make her request.

On the appointed date, the owner welcomed our crew into the house, and we immediately began inspecting the master shower. The first thing we noticed was the mold that darkened parts of the wall grout. Moreover, a layer of stickiness seemed to permeate the grout, and this was our first sign that water and soap had seeped behind the tiles. Unfortunately, these are common side effects of regular cleaners, which are often caused by the soapy residue they leave behind.

We explained that grout damage could eventually lead to structural problems, in addition to the accumulation of dirt on the shower joints. The good news is that our restoration process doesn't use soap-based cleaners to remove the embedded dirt, and our experts reassured the client as soon as she asked about it. As evidenced by the discoloration of the floor's white surface, the stall required a professional cleaning service, which we provided in conjunction with the restoration of the damaged grout.

Our experts informed the client that we could deep clean the shower and make the necessary repairs in a single session, so she didn't hesitate to schedule a new date to give the shower a thorough overhaul.

Later that week, our team returned to the house for the restoration. We began by thoroughly cleaning the shower with a non-toxic cleaner, removing all the soap scum from the walls, the stickiness between the tiles, and the dark spots on the floor. Then, we used a 275-degree vapor steamer to address all the mold that was stuck on the grout.

After ensuring that nothing remained on the porous surface, it was time to fix the damage to the joints. Our specialists carefully removed the loose caulk before repairing all the horizontal seams. To achieve this, we installed our epoxy solution, a waterproof mix that provides maximum protection against moisture and mold, thereby preventing cracks and structural damage. Because our epoxy grout is non-porous, water can't seep between the tiles, and the shower surfaces withstand the effects of wear and tear more effectively.

Following this step, our experts applied Sir Grout's flagship ColorSeal to restore the grout on the walls. The owner wanted the lines to blend in with the tiles, so we recolored the grout accordingly, making the shower look more stylish and sophisticated. With this sealant in place, grout surfaces stay protected against external elements, reducing the homeowners' cleaning efforts and improving their results.

As always, the restoration was a success, and the client was delighted with the result. She'd been stressing about making the wrong impression during the home appraisal, so seeing the shower's transformation was a huge relief. Eager to show off her property to potential buyers, she also promised to recommend our services to everyone in the area.

While getting ready to leave the house, we reviewed some additional cleaning pointers to help the client achieve the best results from the start in her new home. To make routine cleaning more straightforward and more effective, our techs started by recommending pH-neutral products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Combining high-quality ingredients to ensure maximum cleaning power, our formula is the perfect solution to prevent the accumulation of dirt on grout surfaces, whether you're dealing with mold, mildew, soap residue, or any other external agent.

It permeates the surface to loosen the dirt, without corroding the grout or weakening the sealant's protection. It's also ideal for residential areas because it releases no toxic fumes into the air, so you never have to worry about compromising the hygiene of your bathroom spaces.

On that note, our cleaner works best when combined with non-abrasive tools, such as a towel, terry cloth, or a squeegee. This way, you can reach narrow surfaces more effectively without risking scratch marks on the tiles, saving time and effort during your cleaning sessions.

Our final recommendation was a general reminder to open the windows and doors a few hours a day. Good air quality is essential in all parts of the house, but it is imperative on bathroom surfaces, where there's constant exposure to water and other liquids. By allowing fresh air to circulate, you'll prevent the spread of mold and other moisture-related issues.
