Our Tile and Grout Cleaners Made This Shower in Bethlehem Look Gorgeous

September 09, 2025

In a couple of months, this Bethlehem household's shower lost much of its beauty to soap scum and mineral residue. The owners tried different ways to preserve the tiles' colors, from the pattern on the floor to the black ceramic on the threshold and the shower seat. In the end, the results were nowhere near what the couple wanted for their shower, so they decided to ask for the assistance of a hard surface professional.


They started looking for companies online, and it wasn't long before they found Sir Grout Bucks PA. They were both impressed by the results in our picture gallery, so they contacted our tile and grout cleaners in Bethlehem after reading more about our services.

At the couple's convenience, our specialists visited the house a few days later, and we immediately began the evaluation. The shower was an elegant blend of different colors and sizes, but the marks on the tiles were impossible to ignore. At a glance, our techs noticed the discoloration on the floor and the soap scum on the shower bench, but there were other issues to address. Because the grout was unsealed, most lines between the tiles looked yellow from exposure to calcium residue. Likewise, we saw gaps on the horizontal seams, a clear sign that water and other elements had seeped behind the tiles.


When asked about it, our experts explained that chemical-based cleaners can cause as much damage as the minerals in soap water, because they leave the porous surface unprotected against external elements. The best action was a complete restoration service with the right products and equipment, including sealant on the grout in all stall parts. The clients listened as our crew explained the process before scheduling a date to give the shower a complete overhaul.

Our techs returned a few days after the evaluation, this time with the necessary equipment to complete our work in a single session. First, we deep-cleaned the shower with a permeating cleaner, scrubbing the shower from top to bottom after letting the product sit for a few minutes. A 275-degree vapor steamer also helped us remove all traces of mold from harder-to-reach areas, like the niche on the walls, the threshold, and the corner joints.


Once we finished this part, our specialists checked the shower for residue before sealing the grout. Available in multiple colors, our amazing ColorSeal provides maximum protection to prevent stains and wear and tear. It keeps water, soap scum, mold, and mildew away from the pores while reducing the chances of discoloration on high-traffic surfaces.

Then, we made the necessary repairs to the seams, removing the damaged caulk before installing our powerful epoxy solution around the floor edges. Because our epoxy grout is non-porous, this step reduces the chances of leaks and other structural issues. With this, all the grout lines regained their uniform color, and the transformation made the shower look more elegant and impressive.

The couple was obviously delighted with the result, and they both promised to recommend our services to more people in Bethlehem, including many of her neighbors who'd talked about dealing with similar issues in the past.

Here are the cleaning tips we shared with the clients at the end of the appointment. Our team recommended pH-neutral cleaners over other solutions like bleach and soap-made products. Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner removes large amounts of dirt without altering the appearance of tile and grout surfaces. You only need this product to get through all the marks, so there's no need to add chemical-based solutions that could corrode the sealant's protection on the grout. Moreover, you can keep a safer environment in your bathroom spaces because our cleaner doesn't release toxic fumes into the air.

Another important recommendation is to avoid abrasive tools. It's easy to scratch the tiles by accident when you're trying to scrub off the dirt. The best way to wipe out any residue is to use a clean towel, a terry cloth, or a squeegee. Not only will you avoid any damage to the surface, but the dirt will be removed more effectively.

Lastly, our techs recommended checking the room's ventilation to counter the effects of moisture buildup in the shower and other parts of the bathroom. The best way to stop the spread of mold is with a constant circulation of fresh air because it keeps the dampness from adhering to porous surfaces, simplifying the removal of soap scum and other sticky elements.

You can keep your shower looking spotless every day of the week, so don't lower your standards when it comes to cleaning and maintenance.
