This Kitchen Floor in Santa Ana Looks Gorgeous Thanks to Our Grout Cleaning Crew

September 22, 2024

Cleaning large surfaces can be a real challenge, particularly because it's not easy to conceal a lackluster result. A homeowner in Santa Ana, CA, did her best to upkeep her large kitchen area, but her efforts weren't enough when she could still see marks all over the floor. Stains were expected when being part of a busy household that included children and pets, but the kitchen floor had never looked so dull and lifeless.


The homeowner went over her options with her family, and they all agreed that a hard surface restoration professional was the best way to ensure a lasting improvement. So, she started looking through her options and was immediately drawn to Sir Grout Tustin. She decided to contact our grout cleaning service in Santa Ana, CA, and they got back to her soon after she completed her request online.

At her convenience, our specialists visited her house the very next day to evaluate the kitchen floor, and they immediately saw why the homeowner wasn't happy with her cleaning results. Between the gray grout and the shoe prints that were visible on the ceramic, the floor made the room look smaller and darker. There were no walls separating the kitchen from the living room area, so many of the stains were visible from different parts of the house. Its location also meant that the grout collected traces of dirt from the yard, so it wasn't surprising that it lost its color soon after the sealant faded.

Besides gradually discoloring ceramic surfaces, regular cleaners push more dirt into the grout and keep it under a soapy film that ultimately corrodes the porous surface. That's why our techs needed to use their special cleaning equipment to remove all traces of grime before sealing the grout. They ran their plan by the homeowner and she was fully on board, asking them to return later that week for the restoration.

On the agreed-upon date, our crew was back at the client's house in Santa Ana, CA. They got to work right away, soaking the entire floor with a surface-safe cleaner and running a high-speed scrubber several times. They made sure to remove all the marks and dirt specs before getting ready to seal the grout.

At this point, our specialists carefully applied beige sealant on all the grout lines to make the grout match the color of the tiles. Sir Grout's flagship ColorSeal not only revives grout surfaces after weeks of stains; it also prevents the accumulation of more dirt by creating a durable barrier to repel dirt, liquids, and other elements.

The floor looked gorgeous once our experts were done removing the residue and a final buffing was the missing touch to truly bring out the tiles' natural beauty. The client and her family thanked our crew after taking turns admiring the surface, and they promised to recommend Sir Grout Tustin to everyone they knew.

At the end of the appointment, our crew shared some additional tips to keep the floors looking as good as new through all the daily kitchen chores. First, they stressed the importance of using pH-neutral products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner; these formulas don't have the acidic imbalances that cause discoloration and corrosion on tile and grout surfaces, so they're safer overall. Moreover, our cleaner is far more effective for your residential cleaning routine because it removes dirt, food residue, grime, and other stains without requiring any other products. This means that you can get better results in half the time, all without contaminating your living spaces or causing lasting side effects on your floors.

Our next recommendation is to clean spills, shoe prints, everyday stains, and the residue left by other products. This is a no-brainer if you care about your kitchen's hygiene, but it will also reduce the chances of mold and mildew. As our techs explained during their visit, the best way to go about it is with non-abrasive tools like a mop, a towel, or a terry cloth.
Since the client's kitchen was connected to a large living room area, the area could keep the best air quality for hours. Still, it doesn't hurt to keep an eye on the ventilation in different parts of the house and encourage the circulation of fresh air in the areas where you see any stickiness adhering to the grout.
