Our Stone Cleaning Crew Restored the Beauty of This Marble Shower in Melbourne

August 22, 2024

A homeowner in Melbourne followed a strict cleaning routine, and she was particularly careful around her marble shower. She knew natural stone surfaces could lose their sheen from neglect, especially in an area constantly subjected to moisture. In other words, the homeowner knew that caring for a marble shower took a lot of dedication, and until recently, she'd been able to prevent any lingering issues on her own.


Unfortunately, time and other factors still caught up to her, so the homeowner found herself working on a shower that looked duller by the day. She started looking for answers online and came across our stone cleaning service in Melbourne. After perusing our picture gallery and other part of our website, the homeowner decided that she could trust Sir Grout Space Coast. Scheduling an appointment online was easy, and a few days later, she welcomed our specialists into her house.

As always, they inspected all the damaged surfaces and looked closely at the grout to find the best course of action. The floor was discolored beyond recognition so both the grout and the small marble tiles took an unattractive yellow hue. Moreover, the damage to the seams ran across all sides of the shower; our techs saw dozens of cracks and moldy spots spreading from the sides, and the gaps only made way for more water and soap to seep through.


At the end of their evaluation, they told the client that the shower needed a professional cleaning service followed by epoxy grout to the seams. They also offered to recolor the grout on the sides with Sir Grout's flagship sealant, confirming they could complete all the steps in one session. The homeowner was pleased with this plan and asked them to return before the end of the week for the restoration.

Our techs were back at the house on the appointed date working on the shower. They started by cleaning all the stains with a permeating formula that got the dirt loose on the pores. The marks on the grout needed a lot of care, so our specialists used a 275-degree vapor cleaner to ensure a thorough process on those narrow surfaces.

Next, they regrouted the floor and horizontal seams with an epoxy solution, making the surface more resistant to mold and moisture. Our crew needed to recolor the rest of the grout to complete the transformation, so they applied ColorSeal on the walls. This way, they restored the grout to its original color and brought lasting protection to keep the dirt away from the grout pores.

As expected, the homeowner loved the result, gushing over the marble's new shine and the clean grout. She promised to recommend our services to her friends and relatives in Melbourne and thanked our specialists for delivering such satisfying results.

Our experts had some additional tips for the client, so they shared their recommendations as they prepared to leave. First, they stressed the importance of using pH-neutral cleaners to avoid subjecting marble surfaces to harsh ingredients. Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner removes the stains caused by mold, soap, and minerals in record time, so you can simplify your cleaning routine and get even better results. Our product's cleaning power surpasses most options available today, making it easier to care for marble and other stone surfaces in high-traffic areas. Moreover, routine maintenance is safer for homeowners because no toxic fumes are released into their living spaces.

Our next recommendation was to ensure that the shower stall stayed dry throughout the day. Leftover moisture can undo many of your cleaning efforts, and a lot of it remains on the surface if you use the wrong tools to scrub it off. That's why we always tell clients to use non-abrasive tools like a towel or a terry cloth.

Lastly, our experts reminded the client to check the room's ventilation and suggested opening the windows and doors whenever the room became stuffy. Poor ventilation means that you constantly have to clean stale water and mold residue, which hinders your cleaning efforts and ruins your shower's appearance.
