These Floors in Jenkintown Received All the Quality of Our Stone Cleaning Process

May 16, 2025

A natural stone surface can be all you need to give your home a timeless look, but it can also present new challenges when keeping dirt at bay. A homeowner in Jenkintown, PA, wanted to restore the unmatched beauty of her stone floors, but she didn't know how to do so without risking discoloration and other types of damage.


The floors in the bathroom and parts of the living room had classic stone layouts that perfectly matched the traditional design she'd chosen for those parts of the house. Unfortunately, those natural stone surfaces collected much more dirt than the rest of the floors, and the homeowner couldn't ignore how it all ruined the floor's coloring. She knew that overexposure to chemical cleaners could do more harm than good, so she hoped that a stone cleaning service in Jenkintown, PA, could solve the problem quickly.

When she decided to proceed, the homeowner started looking for companies in the area. She looked through all the options online before settling on Sir Grout Bucks PA had everything she needed, including the skills of professional technicians with previous experience in restoring natural stone surfaces.


Following her request via the website's contact form, our techs visited her place a few days later for an in-home evaluation. The owner showed us the bathroom floor before pointing to the stone layout in the living room area, and our techs saw the same issue in both parts of the house. The stone was run down in both cases because of the embedded dirt over the textured surface. Grime and soil spread across large portions of the floor, covering tiles and grout in an unsightly gray layer that made the floors look neglected. As a result, the most striking parts of the stone were almost entirely hidden, from the yellow and orange pattern on the bathroom floor to the shades of beige and gold in the living room area.

We praised the owner for avoiding chemical-based cleaners and reassured her that our restoration process wouldn't subject the floor to harsh ingredients. Then, we explained the entire process, confirming that we could revamp both floors in one day. Grateful for our assistance, the owner thanked our crew and scheduled a new appointment for the restoration.

Our specialists returned before the end of that week with all the necessary equipment to work on the floors. After bringing our equipment into the house, we cleaned each surface with a surface-safe product and a high-speed scrubbing machine. With this combination, our techs removed all the embedded dirt from the porous surface, including the lines between the tiles.

When it was time to restore the grout, we applied ColorSeal, using different colors to meet the client's specifications. Our acrylic-based sealant wards off external elements and liquids, including water, grease, grime, mold, soil, and more. It even protects against UV rays, so homeowners can get used to finding few signs of decay on high-traffic surfaces. When we were done, the living room floor looked much more luminous, while the white grout on the bathroom floor enhanced the tiles' warm color palette.

Our crew applied stone sealant to protect the rest of the surface and buffed both floors before completing the restoration. Then, we let the client check the results, and she couldn't be more excited. The floors looked gorgeous, and she marveled at the tiles' rich color and shine. The owner couldn't wait to show off the result and promised to recommend our services to everyone she knew.

After all our visits, we'll review our main recommendations to help clients maintain natural stone surfaces. First, no matter how much care you put into it, regular cleaning will not yield the desired result if you use harsh products like bleach and soap-based cleaners. That's why we always recommend using Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner to preserve stone surfaces for much longer. Our product has all the benefits that make pH-neutral cleaners so effective: it removes stains and embedded dirt without subjecting the tiles to harsh ingredients, leaving the stone spotless through hours of activity.

As our techs explained during the appointment, our product works best when combined with non-abrasive tools like a towel, a mop, or a terry cloth because you harness much more cleaning power without risking scratch marks on the floors. This way, homeowners can clean the trickiest parts of their floors without worrying about leaving behind any traces of dirt.

Our last recommendation focused on the right environment to prevent the worst effects of moisture buildup. A stuffy room will collect mold more quickly, and its hygiene will rapidly be compromised. You can avoid it with weekly cleaning sessions and extra steps to keep fresh air circulating. Just remember to open the windows and doors for a few hours daily; removing the marks left by soap and other liquids won't be as hard. Placing a doormat in different parts of the house, like the bathroom and the foyer, can also reduce dirt spread across different rooms.
