A Starbucks in Allentown, PA, Has the Most Gorgeous Floors Thanks to Our Hard Surface Restoration Services

May 14, 2024

The floors of a Starbucks in Allentown, PA, needed some extra care after a particularly hectic month. The coffeehouse looked as stylish as ever but the combined efforts of its cleaning staff couldn't bring life to the floors on both sides of the counter. The dull surface looked out of place next to the rest of the of the customer area, and the owner was resolute in her plans to do something about it.


Part of her work was knowing the best hard surface restoration services in Allentown, PA, so she didn't hesitate to call Sir Grout Bucks PA when it became clear that regular cleaning would not solve the problem. She had no trouble finding our website online and headed straight to our online scheduler to set a date for an inspection, hoping to get our crew's assessment before the end of that week.

At her convenience, our specialists visited the Starbucks the next day and the owner identified their uniform right away. They walked the café and evaluated the floors in different parts of their establishment, noting the lack of shine on the tiles and traces of embedded dirt on the grout.

It's normal for high-traffic surfaces to show the effects of wear and tear sooner than expected, so our techs weren't surprised to find that there was no sealant left on the grout. When the client asked about it, they explained that bleach and other store-bought cleaners also add to the problem by trapping the dirt under a soapy film. That's why the floor's appearance didn't change even when the owner scheduled multiple cleaning sessions throughout the day.
The solution was a thorough cleaning and sealing service. Our techs confirmed that Sir Grout's professional equipment would make the floors look as good as new, so the client scheduled a new appointment after thanking them for the insight they provided during the evaluation.


A few days later, our experts returned to the coffeehouse for the floor's restoration. First, they soaked each section of the establishment with a surface-safe cleaner, starting with the larger part of the café and moving on to the area behind the counter where the staff rushed through orders during the day. After letting our cleaner sit on the surface for a few minutes, our techs made several laps with a high-speed scrubber to eliminate all the embedded dirt.

The floors already looked much better, and the grout was ready for the next part of the process. Our specialists carefully applied ColorSeal to all the grout lines without leaving any part of the grout untouched. They used white sealant to revive the contrast between the grout lines and the tiles, and the effect really brought out the floor's elegant design. More importantly, our acrylic-based sealant provided lasting protection against external elements like food residue, mud, grime, and other substances, so the grout would accumulate fewer stains even after hours of foot traffic.


Last but not least, our crew buffed all the floors with tile sealant many times to mark the end of the restoration. They made sure that all the tiles displayed the same brand-new glow before calling the client back into the establishment, and she was in awe as soon as she stepped into the café. She thanked our team for doing such an amazing job and promised to keep recommending our services in other parts of Allentown, PA.

This is what our crew had to say when the client asked for additional cleaning pointers: Traditional cleaners can hardly keep up with the amount of dirt that appears around public areas and their side effects can ruin the appearance of delicate hard surfaces like tile and stone.
