See How Our Tile and Grout Cleaners Transformed a Clinic's Waiting Room Floor in Bear

September 10, 2023

The owner of a renowned clinic in Bear was stressed over the impression left in the waiting room area. Dirt had become a fixture on the grout, to the point that it was impossible to see its color under the black lines running from all sides of the room. She couldn't make a breakthrough, even with the combined efforts of the cleaning staff, and the dark grout became the first thing visitors saw while stepping into the clinic.


The owner couldn't stand the thought of continuing regular operations under such conditions. The rest of the waiting room remained pristine, which only managed to draw more attention to the dirty grout. She knew that the support of a restoration company was the surest way to go about the problem, and she'd already worked with the best tile and grout cleaners in Bear. The owner went online and contacted Sir Grout of New Castle County via our "Request a Quote" form. From there, our specialists made sure things continued running smoothly.

They reached her clinic at the scheduled time to evaluate the floors. As expected, the dark grout was the first thing that caught their eye. All the grout lines were covered in dirt, which is unsurprising for a waiting area that sees hundreds of visitors and staff each week. Still, the client wanted to know how the grout could collect so much dirt in spite of the clinic's strict cleaning schedule. Our techs explained that regular cleaners often do more harm than good, trapping dirt and other elements on the grout pores. They can also dull the color of the tiles, so getting them to shine takes more effort the longer you carry on using the product. Our techs concluded that there was no permanent damage, but the floor still needed to be deep cleaned with Sir Grout's special equipment. They also needed to seal the grout lines to keep the problem from repeating itself, given that the waiting area arguably had the largest amount of foot traffic. The client was relieved to have a definite explanation and immediately agreed to schedule a new appointment with our crew.

Our techs returned a few days later for the restoration and started to work as soon as they got into the room. They started by cleaning the entire floor with a pH-neutral cleaner and used a high-speed scrubber to remove the dirt as it got loose. Our cleaner is the ideal solution to keep the floor spotless through hours of activity. It eliminates all the dirt in a short time while enhancing the tiles' beauty. Your grout will suffer no damage when our product is part of routine maintenance. In fact, cleaning large spaces involves less effort, and the results last for much longer.

For the next step, our techs applied ColorSeal to all the grout lines only after ensuring no traces of dirt remained on the grout pores and around the corners. This acrylic-based sealant has no match when it comes to keeping a clean grout against the effects of wear and tear. It protects the grout's surface from dirt, spills, oil, mud, mold, and many other elements, ensuring nothing gets stuck long enough to create a stain. The client requested to replicate the grout's original white color, and our techs made their way around each line until they covered the expanse of the floor.

They buffed the floor to show off the tiles' new shine and invited the client back into the room. She was thrilled by the results. The floor exuded elegance, and the grout looked better than never while outlining the tiles and bringing out their beauty. Now, the waiting room floor matched the hygiene standards that the client had set for her business.

After thanking our specialists for their services, the client asked for additional cleaning pointers. Our techs started by recommending pH-neutral cleaners over bleach and chemical-based products to avoid the effect of harsh ingredients on the grout. Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner combines high-quality ingredients to simplify your chores and improve the end result. It makes all the surfaces look brand new for hours after removing all common sources of stains, all without subjecting users to the fumes you'd find in most store-bought cleaners.

Following this, our techs recommended using non-abrasive tools to avoid scratching the surface while working through the worst stains. The right products and tools are enough to preserve the floor's post-restoration look while keeping up with dust and any spills that could happen during the day. Our last recommendation counted more as a reminder about the importance of a good ventilation system. Proper ventilation keeps moisture from affecting harder-to-reach surfaces and stops the spread of mold and mildew. The client thanked our crew once again and promised to recommend our services to all her colleagues in Bear.
