A Shower in Fuquay-Varina Was Fully Transformed With Our Grout Cleaning Process

April 09, 2025

A homeowner in Fuquay-Varina had spent weeks trying to improve the hygiene of his shower area, but the task was becoming a constant source of frustration. Even when the homeowner stayed consistent in his cleaning routine, the mold spread faster than in the past, so he barely managed to remove a fraction of the dirt on the grout.


Worried about the risks of letting the problem go for long, the homeowner didn't hesitate when he came across our grout cleaning service in Fuquay-Varina. By then, he'd already considered looking for a hard surface professional, but he only became enthusiastic after learning about Sir Grout Raleigh. He looked through different parts of our website, including our blog posts and testimonial section, before talking with one of our agents via phone.

On the scheduled evaluation date, our techs visited his house to look at the shower, and the owner greeted us immediately. Thankfully, the seams had no structural damage, but the shower needed much extra care. Since there was no sealant on the grout, the porous surface absorbed a lot of liquid quickly, resulting in discoloration and the spread of mold between the tiles.

We explained that, for all their popularity, regular cleaners play a big part in the spread of dirt across cement-based grout. These products leave a soapy residue that sticks to the surface while trapping the dirt in the grout pores. That's why the homeowner made such slow progress despite dedicating so much time to shower maintenance. When he asked about the best action, we offered to clean the shower deep and seal the grout for maximum protection. He agreed with this plan and thanked us for all our assistance after the evaluation.

Following the homeowner's request at the end of our first visit, we returned to his house later that week for the restoration, carrying Sir Grout's professional equipment into the master bathroom. Our experts soaked every surface with a pH-neutral cleaner and spread the product carefully before removing all the embedded dirt. We also used a 275-degree vapor steamer to eliminate the mold on the seams and other hard-to-reach areas.  

Then, our specialists protected the grout lines with acrylic-based sealant. Our flagship ColorSeal ensures no external elements get stuck in the grout's porous surface. It keeps looking as good as new for much longer, warding off external elements like water, soap, mold, and mildew. We also applied tile sealant to preserve the rest of the shower, and the transformation was a sight to behold.

After seeing the shower's uniform color, the homeowner loved the result and was relieved. The tiles had no marks, and the grout looked smooth and pristine against the ceramic surface. While admiring the result, he thanked our crew for the restoration and promised to praise our grout cleaning skills in front of all his friends and colleagues.

Here are some additional tips that our crew shared before leaving the house. We recommended replacing generic cleaners with pH-neutral formulas like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner to reduce the risk of discoloration and grout damage. Our product guarantees a vast improvement that soap-based and DIY solutions can't match. It removes stains quickly while bringing out the tiles' natural beauty, and it works without weakening the sealant's protection on the grout. Its non-toxic composition ensures the most satisfying results and works best in residential areas where you want to avoid contamination caused by chemical fumes.

Our experts also had recommendations to keep mold and mildew at bay. To prevent the effects of moisture buildup, we told the client to boost air circulation by opening the windows and doors for at least a few hours.

Another pointer is to use non-abrasive tools like a mop or a towel to wipe out spills, soap, mold, grime, etc. Keeping these tools clean is also important to avoid creating new marks on the grout since dirt specks can easily travel from the fabric to other porous surfaces.
