Our Techs Impressed a Couple in Cocoa With the Quality of Their Stone Cleaning Services
September 23, 2024
It's unpleasant to see weeks of hard work go to waste while dealing with a soiled shower. A couple in Cocoa had a gorgeous travertine shower in their master bathroom, but they felt frustrated by the results of her cleaning efforts. They'd tried all the tips they knew to get the embedded dirt off the seams, but the dark stains only became more noticeable daily.After exhausting the resources they knew, the couple agreed that any other cleaner would likely fall short, and they didn't want to make a hasty decision that could permanently affect the shower's appearance. Instead, they began looking for stone restoration companies in the area and came across our stone cleaning service in Cocoa not long after starting their online search. They gave us a call, and our agent gave them more information about Sir Grout Space Coast before hashing out all the details for an in-home evaluation.
On the agreed-upon date, the couple welcomed our specialists into their home early in the day. During the inspection, our techs noticed the stains between the tiles and the discoloration in different parts of the shower. The stall combined travertine and ceramic tiles, and the mold affected both surfaces equally, muting the colors and making the shower look unhygienic. There were also cracks running along the seams since there was no protection against the water that seeped into the surface.
Our experts shared their findings with the couple and explained each step of their restoration process. The couple didn't have to go over their options for too long. They trusted our crew's knowledge and wanted our services for their shower.
Following the homeowner's request, our techs returned to the house later that week for the restoration. They prepared the shower area and used a non-toxic cleaner to loosen the dirt. After carefully scrubbing off all the residue, our crew used a 275-degree vapor steamer on the entire stall, effectively eliminating all traces of mold.
Next, they replaced the old caulk on the seams with waterproof epoxy grout, a non-porous mix that withstands wear and tear far more effectively than cement-based grout. To restore the color of the rest of the grout lines, our experts applied Sir Grout's flagship ColorSeal. This fantastic sealant makes the grout look spotless and wards off external elements and liquids to preserve that brand-new look for months on end.
The grout's makeover marked the end of the restoration, and the shower looked gorgeous. All the tiles were spotless, and no dark spots were marring the grout. It was everything the couple hoped for and more, so they praised our skills before thanking us for our phenomenal service.
Before leaving the couple's house, our experts shared some tips to preserve the shower's travertine surface. They recommended trying pH-neutral products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner to scrub off dirt and moisture on the shower floor and seams, as well as the soap scum that usually spreads on shower walls. While generic cleaners typically leave a soapy residue on the surface, our product removes all external agents without leaving anything behind, so the appearance of your shower isn't altered in any way. Moreover, our cleaner doesn't release toxic fumes into the air, so you don't have to worry about potential health risks for you and your family.
Our next recommendation was to prevent moisture accumulation when the shower is unoccupied. Homeowners can make a massive difference by wiping out any pools of water sitting inside the shower stall. Opening the windows and doors also helps prevent hygienic problems because mold is likely inside stuffy rooms with poor fresh air circulation.
