After Our Grout Sealing in Land O' Lakes, FL, This Kitchen Floor is Completely Renewed

May 25, 2018

The fourth of July is clearly one of the most important and significant national holidays in the United States because it marks an event of massive historical significance for the country. People usually celebrate it in different ways. While some families celebrate this day watching firework displays, others spend the holiday having a meal with their family and friends, like this family in Land O' Lakes, FL. These homeowners loved to have guests in their home. They always made sure to have the house in great shape before their guests arrived.


They had been living in their home for three years. Each of those years, the family and friends spent this important holiday in her neighborhood, and she, along her husband, always took this task very seriously. They deep cleaned the house weeks before the fourth of July, but this time the wife was surprised to see the kitchen floor had dirty grout lines. Luckily, Sir Grout Tampa's grout sealing services in Land O' Lakes, FL, helped her restore the surface just in time.

The woman had a weekly cleanup routine for her home, but a month earlier, when she was about to clean the entire house, she realized she was in need of some products. After buying them, she immediately started by cleaning the kitchen and the living room. When she was done, her husband mentioned that something was not going very well with the kitchen floor because the tiles looked faded and the grout lines were darker than before. The wife didn't believe that the surface was in bad condition as her husband was telling her, especially because she kept a strict cleaning routine. However, she continued the cleaning process a few more days.

After she finished, she thought everything was perfectly cleaned and that she was ready for guests. Her cousin visited her the week before the holiday and mentioned that the appearance of the kitchen floor was pretty bad. This comment got her attention and then she knew her husband had been right about the floor. The tiles were opaque, and the grout lines were far from being in the best condition. They agreed that looking for professionals was the right thing to do.

Since she had just a few days to solve the problem, she searched online for 'the best hard surface restoration company in Land O' Lakes,' and among the top search results, she found Sir Grout Tampa. While browsing our website, she went through the positives reviews and she also saw pictures in our "Before and After" gallery section that convinced her we were the best option she had for restoring her kitchen floor. She filled out the "Request a Quote" form on the page and scheduled an in-home examination.

On the day of the appointment, our team of grout professionals visited the house to evaluate the surface and offer an effective solution. Once the experts entered to the kitchen, they noticed how dirty the grout lines were and the opaque appearance of the tiles. They asked about her cleaning routine. After they heard the methods and products she had been using, our specialists explained that the use of incorrect cleaners had damaged the surface. Worried about the kitchen floor, the client asked if there was anything that could be done to fix the problem. Our technicians assured her that after a grout sealing job, the tiles and grout would be completely renovated. The homeowner agreed and set up another date for the service.

On the day of the job, our crew returned to the customer's home to begin the restoration. The first step was to apply Sir Grout's proper cleaner which now contains antimicrobial agents and can help inhibit the growth of microorganisms. Next, they used a high-speed scrubber to remove all the dirt from the surface.

To finish, our experts applied Sir Grout's flagship product, ColorSeal, explaining that this product is a sealant designed to last the lifespan of the grout, making it stain, water, mold, and mildew resistant. In addition, ColorSeal recolors the grout lines and comes in different colors for the client to match with the tiles. In this case, the owner chose a travertine color for the grout.

After the job was done, our team invited the client to the kitchen and showed her the results. She was very happy and satisfied to see that the surface appearance was incredibly beautiful. The ceramic tiles and grout looked like brand-new. She thanked our specialists for the work and assured them that she would recommend the company to anyone experiencing hard surface problems.

Before leaving, the technicians gave her some maintenance tips to keep the surface looking totally clean. They suggested always using pH-neutral, non-toxic products in her routines because using harsh cleaners like acid-based cleaners would damage the ceramic tiles and grout. They advised her not to use steel wool on tile if she didn't want to scratch the surface.
