The Appearance of This Tile Shower in Palm Harbor, FL, Was Boosted with a Grout Cleaning

May 10, 2018

Regular cleaning of a surface does not guarantee keeping the appearance up forever. Regular maintenance is not the only detail homeowners need to pay attention to for the room to look beautiful and in perfect condition, as one client learned. A Palm Harbor resident, who due to her job, rarely had the time to dedicate to cleaning her house, and for that reason her shower began to show wear.


This woman had been living in this house for three years. She always dreamed of maintaining and keeping it in top notch shape, but recently this was not possible because her shower, a place she always found relaxing after a long day of work, had become uncomfortable and unsightly due to the accumulated dirt on the surface. She had no idea why the shower was in that condition, but she decided to do something about it on her own instead of hiring professional grout cleaning services in Palm Harbor, FL.

During one of her cleaning session, she noticed the grout lines were getting dark. The woman was sure that was not the way the shower looked when it was first installed. Since she decided to personally clean the surface whenever she had free time from her job, she bought some products and even searched online for a couple of method to eliminate accumulated dirt, but after several days trying to solve the problem, the outcome was always the same. In fact, she noticed the issue was getting worse.

The woman was determined to find a solution, so she asked her family members if anyone knew about a company that could help her resolve the problem in her shower. No one had any recommendations, so she searched online and typed: 'grout cleaning in Palm Harbor, FL.' She was surprised to find us in the top results, and while browsing on our website, she looked at previous jobs we had done. She even read the positive comments from our clients and therefore was convinced that our team of professionals were the perfect choice to restore her shower, so she filled out the "Request a Quote" form on the website and set up a date for the free in-home consultation.

On the day of the scheduled appointment, our team of professional arrived on time at the house and they were ready to evaluate the shower to offer the best solution possible. When the owner showed them the surface, our experts immediately confirmed that the floor was full of dirt and grime and the grout lines were getting a dark tone. They explained that the lack of regular maintenance combined with the use of improper products and methods had caused the bad condition of the shower. They stated there was a solution and assured the homeowner a grout cleaning job would completely restore the shower, along with ColorSeal to protect it. The homeowner agreed right away and set up another date for the job.

Our technicians returned to the customer's house ready to rescue the shower from the dirt and grime. They began by applying a non-toxic pH-neutral tile and grout cleaner on the surface, and after letting it soak for a few minutes, our team used a high-speed but gentle scrubber to remove all the dirt and grime accumulated on the shower walls and floor.

Once the entire surface was clean, it was time to move to the next stage of the process, which was applying our proprietary sealant—ColorSeal. Our team explained that this product recolors grout lines, leaving them looking like new again, and in addition, it would create a shield around the grout to protect it from water, dirt, stains, mold, and mildew. Moreover, ColorSeal comes in different colors, which allows clients to match the grout lines with their tiles.

The job was finished, so our experts had the woman look at the results. She was thrilled because she couldn't believe the clean and fresh look her shower had after our grout cleaning. She was very pleased with our work and mentioned she would recommend us to her family and friends.

Before our experts left, they gave the client some recommendations on how to keep the shower looking beautiful. They suggested she always clean it using pH-neutral soap-less cleaners because these products do not damage the tiles and grout. Also, they recommended drying the surface with a squeegee to remove dirty water to keep dirt from affecting the grout lines as moisture evaporates. Finally, they advised her to have a professional grout cleaning job twice a year to avoid future problems.
