See How the Best Cordova Tile and Grout Cleaners Fully Restored This Shower

January 11, 2022

It's easy to be discouraged by a dirty shower, even when the rest of your house looks its best. A Cordova resident didn't know what to do about his shower. There was dirt stuck in every corner, and the shower joints seemed to be on the verge of collapse. The owner wanted to work through each problem, but he didn't know where to start, so he simply tried to maintain his regular cleaning schedule until there was no way to overlook the complete lack of results. After weeks of mincing each step he took around his shower, the owner decided to seek professional assistance.


He started by asking some of his acquaintances, but no one he knew had hired a professional restoration service in the past. With that out of the way, the homeowner went searching for Cordova Tile and Grout Cleaners online and found Sir Grout Memphis almost right away. A few minutes into his research was all it took for the homeowner to make up his mind, especially after seeing the results displayed in our picture gallery. He filled out the "Request a Quote" form and scheduled an in-home evaluation.

Our specialists were at his home on the appointed date to inspect the shower. They noticed instantly that there was a lot to do. There were signs of deterioration on almost every surface. The tiles on the floor and walls were covered in soap scum, and there was soil sticking to most of the grout. Our crew was particularly worried by the cracks that extended all over the shower joints, so they were quick to propose a plan of action to get the shower restored as soon as possible. To remove the stains, they needed Sir Grout's exclusive cleaning equipment. They also told the client that they had to regrout the areas that had sustained the most damage, and the whole shower had to be sealed to prevent the worst effects of moisture buildup. The client agreed with this arrangement and hired our surface restoration services.

On the day of the restoration, our specialists began cleaning the shower using a pH-neutral cleaner and a high-speed scrubber. Our product helps remove all sorts of liquids without putting a strain on the surface because it has no harsh ingredients in its formula. We let it sit for a few minutes and then went over each part of the shower, meticulously scrubbing off the dirt until the tiles and grout were spotless. Then, we sanitized the area with a steam cleaner to prevent the growth of mold and mildew on the joints.

For the next step, we had to repair the damage on the grout and remove the old caulk from the seams. We regrouted the floor with epoxy grout to enhance its resistance and simplify the client's cleaning routine. After that, we were ready to seal the grout lines with our signature ColorSeal. Our sealant serves as the perfect protection because it wards off water, soap scum, mold, mildew, and other liquids. It keeps the grout clean for longer while making it look more aesthetically pleasing because it's available in different colors to make its tone match the tiles perfectly, whether you want the grout to blend in or to create a nice contrast between the grout lines and their surroundings. With this done, we could apply Tile Armor all over the shower's surface so that no spot was left unprotected.

By the time we called the client back to see the results, the shower's transformation was complete. The tiles had recovered their shine, and there was no trace of dirt on the grout. The client hadn't expected that such an improvement could be accomplished without tearing down parts of the shower, so the shower's new look was a welcome surprise.

Before saying our goodbyes, we shared some additional cleaning and maintenance tips. We told the client that the surest way to preserve the shower's good looks was to stop using soap-based cleaners and other acidic products. We recommended using pH-neutral solutions like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner to make his cleaning sessions go more smoothly. Our product helps preserve the sealant's protection and leaves no chemical residues behind each time you use it, so it's a safer solution all around. We also recommended opening the windows from time to time to help the air circulation and keep bathroom surfaces dry. Lastly, we warned the client against using steel wools and other abrasive tools to scrub off the dirt and told him that a towel, a terry cloth, or a squeegee would be a far better way to get the job done without scratching the tiles. After taking notes, the client thanked us once again and promised to tell more people about our services.
