Our Hard Surface Restoration Services Were the Perfect Solution for This Shower in Bonita Springs
June 17, 2024
It's hard to enjoy your spare time when you're stuck looking for a solution to a soiled shower. A homeowner in Bonita Springs felt her stress levels rise with each failed cleaning attempt. She'd gone over the problem for weeks after noticing stains on some of the tiles, but her efforts didn't keep the dirt from spreading around all sides of the shower stall.She expressed her frustration to some of her closest friends and this led her to discover the ideal solution to her problem. One of her friends recommended Sir Grout SW Florida and vouched for our techs' professionalism after her own experience. Upon starting her online search, the homeowner understandably went in with high expectations and our online content was all she'd expected and more. Eager to learn more about our hard surface restoration services in Bonita Springs, she gave us a call to ask for more information.
With our agent's assistance, the homeowner scheduled a new appointment, and our specialists headed to her house the very next day. They exchanged greetings and she showed them to the master bathroom so our crew could begin their evaluation of the shower stall. It wasn't hard to understand the homeowner's concerns after seeing the dark gray stains spreading across the lower half of the walls. The discoloration was also visible on most of the floor and parts of the grout. There were also thick layers of mold covering the corner joints and our experts could see the grout growing loose underneath.
They explained to the client that regular cleaners wouldn't make much of a difference because of their harsh ingredients. These products create a soapy film that keeps the dirt trapped on the porous surface, making the stains spread much quicker. The effect is more visible on shower surfaces where the dampness helps the growth of mold and mildew, so it's not easy to slow down the damage once it starts. Luckily, our experts had the skills and the equipment to solve the problem so they immediately offered their services, to the homeowner's relief.
At her request, they returned a couple of days later for the restoration. For the first step, they prepared the shower stall with clear plastic and soaked all shower surfaces with a permeating cleaner. They made sure to scrub off all the stains as the dirt got loose and vapor cleaned the shower stall before getting ready for the next part of the process.
By then, there was no residue on the grout and they could start the repairs. Our specialists removed the loose caulk from the seams and installed water-resistant epoxy grout on the surface. This way, the joints would have more durability to withstand moisture and wear and tear. Next, our techs carefully sealed all the grout lines to keep external elements from seeping into the pores. Our flagship ColorSeal keeps the grout looking spotless through hours of activity and makes household cleaning much more satisfying for homeowners.
When the client went back into the bathroom, the shower looked gorgeous and there were no signs of damage on the grout. She expressed her gratitude to our specialists, knowing that she could call us again if she had trouble getting the desired result on her bathroom surfaces.
Our crew still had some additional tips to share. As they told the client during their visit, pH-neutral cleaners were the best way to deal with common stains without putting a strain on the surface. That's why we recommend using products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner to simplify shower cleaning and maintenance. Our product is effective against mold, and mildew, so it's easier to remove large stains in minutes, even when cleaning harder-to-reach surfaces. Another advantage of pH-neutral cleaners is that they don't release toxic fumes into the air so you don't have to worry about contaminating the most important parts of your home.
To preserve tile and grout surfaces for a long time, we also recommend scrubbing off the stains with non-abrasive tools, avoiding steel wools to reduce the chances of scratching the ceramic. Our last recommendation was to take steps to keep the bathroom well ventilated throughout the day. You can make a huge difference with something as simple as opening the windows and doors for a few hours to keep a constant circulation of fresh air.
