Our Tile Sealing Experts Completely Transformed a Store's Restroom in Montgomeryville, PA
January 10, 2021
The state of all restroom areas reflects on the business as a whole, and that's why most business owners know it's important to keep the restroom's surfaces spotless. The owner of Dick's Sporting Goods in Montgomeryville worked hard to create a welcoming environment for customers and employees alike, so he always made sure to keep all the restrooms in good shape. Over time, he noticed that despite being cleaned regularly, the tiled surfaces in one of these rooms had started to look dull, and the joints became heavily discolored. Meanwhile, the soiled grout stood out on the walls and the floor, giving the entire restroom an unappealing appearance.
The owner went online to check if other people were going through similar issues, and most websites suggested hiring professionals if the grime couldn't be removed with conventional cleaning methods. While he was on board with this option, the owner didn't know where to find professionals in the field of hard surface restoration, so he started searching for tile sealing services in Montgomeryville. That's when he found Sir Grout Bucks PA and all the information available on our user-friendly website, including some video testimonials left by previous customers. From there, the owner didn't hesitate to call us so he could schedule a free evaluation.
As always, our tile and grout cleaning experts responded quickly and went to his store a couple of days later, per his request. Upon arriving at the store, we assessed the restroom's surfaces to determine the best course of action, inspecting every surface, from the floor to each of the walls. The grout's deterioration was hard to miss, especially around the corners where the dirt was thicker and the lines looked darker. While the grout's look had suffered, our team assured the customer that there would be no need to replace the tiles, and this was a huge relief since he loved to keep a common layout in all restroom areas. Our specialists offered the client exactly what he needed, a professional tile and grout cleaning service followed by our flagship sealant on the grout. After evaluating our no-obligation quote, the owner agreed to the service and scheduled another appointment for the job.
Later that week, our experts went back to the store to clean and seal the restroom area. We started the process by soaking the floor and walls with a pH-neutral cleaner. Not only is this product safe for tile and grout surfaces, but it also contains all the effectiveness to fight soap scum, mold, and mildew. We also used a high-speed scrubber to remove the grime that was stuck between the tiles and made sure that the seams were spotless before the next stage of the restoration.
Then, our experts applied ColorSeal to the grout lines, carefully making our way around each part of the restroom, including the cubicles and the area around the sink. This acrylic-based sealant protects grout against water, dirt, cosmetic residue, mold, and mildew, so you can keep bathroom surfaces in top condition for much longer. The client chose a beige sealant to match the color of the tiles, and we recolored all the lines accordingly.
To finish the job, our crew coated all restroom surfaces with tile sealant and buffed the floor one last time, enhancing the appearance of the ceramic tiles so they had a beautiful, brand-new look.
When we finished, our techs let the customer see the results, and he was thrilled with how it all turned out. The tiles looked flawless and the grout lines finally had a uniform color. His store now had a restroom that matched the quality of his products, and he couldn't be happier. After thanking our specialists for delivering such fantastic results, the owner promised to recommend our services to all his peers in the industry and to call back when the grout required some additional maintenance.
Before we left the store, our crew gave the client some care tips to keep the restroom looking great. We first recommended cleaning the surfaces regularly using a pH-neutral formula like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. This will help keep the restroom fresh and free from mold and mildew without contaminating the store with toxic fumes. Since public restrooms are constantly exposed to several external agents, we also suggested keeping an eye on the sealant every few months to ensure it's working. To do this, the owner should place a few drops of water on the grout. If it seeps in, the grout must be resealed.
Last but not least, our crew advised the client to keep the restroom's surfaces as dry as possible and to check the ventilation system in case there's any risk of moisture buildup. We recommend cleaning any leftover dampness with a mop, a towel, or a terry cloth to ensure that nothing remains on the surface.
