A Shower in Micco Went Through an Impressive Transformation Thanks to Our Stone Cleaning Service

April 18, 2025

It's natural to avoid making drastic changes in your cleaning routine when dealing with stone surfaces. No one wants to try a new cleaner to worsen the discoloration caused by moisture and other elements, but fighting these factors becomes much harder. A homeowner in Micco was going through this dilemma after his cleaning products failed to get rid of the soap scum in his master shower. Layers of dirt covered the stone surface, adding to the owner's concerns over the shower's hygiene.


He decided to find the assistance of a professional stone cleaning service in Micco and a quick online search led him in the right direction. Our website provided lots of information about our restoration methods, including a picture gallery full of examples of our work. The homeowner read through all the content before contacting Sir Grout Space Coast via our online scheduler, and he welcomed our techs into his home only a few days later.

During the evaluation, we assessed all the marks on the stone and checked the surface for damage. While there were no cracks in the grout, the lines on the floor had collected a lot of dirt, and the problem started affecting the wall grout. Still, the most noticeable issue was the amount of soap scum on the stone tiles. The discoloration could be seen from afar, and there was no way to appreciate the tiles' beauty when the shower had such an unhygienic look.


When the owner expressed concern about the ineffectiveness of his cleaning products, we explained that traditional cleaners allow dirt to accumulate on porous surfaces. The soapy residue in these products adds to the efflorescence inside the shower and makes it harder for homeowners to preserve the stone's natural color. After reassuring the client that the process didn't expose the tiles to harsh ingredients, we offered to clean the stall with our professional equipment. Eager to restore his shower's good looks, the owner accepted the offer right away.

Before the end of that week, our specialists arrived at his house again for the restoration. We cleaned the shower with a permeating formula, soaking the entire surface and scrubbing off the dirt as it got loose. With the help of a 275-degree vapor steamer, our techs managed to remove all the soap scum without subjecting the stone to toxic products or harsh treatment.

We applied ColorSeal to all the grout lines on the floor and the walls to recolor the grout. The homeowner chose a dark beige shade to match the colors on his shower stall, and the effect helped enhance the contrast between the walls and the floor. Our sealant doesn't stop elevating the grout's visual appearance, though. Its most important feature is its protection against external elements like water, soap residue, mold, mildew, grime, etc. This means that dirt will never take over your grout lines while our sealant is in place, even after weeks of moisture buildup.

Our experts also applied stone sealant to protect the rest of the shower before calling the client to check out the result. He and his family were ecstatic when they saw the shower, and they had nothing but praise for the stone's new look, thanking us for making the floor look fantastic. Later, the homeowner also promised to recommend our services to everyone he knew in the area.

While getting ready to leave the house, our techs shared some additional cleaning advice to improve the maintenance of natural stone surfaces. As they told the client, pH-neutral cleaners represent the most effective way to deal with stains and stickiness in your bathroom area because, unlike bleach and other chemical-based products, they won't leave your surfaces more vulnerable to damage. For example, Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner has a profound cleaning effect to remove embedded dirt more effectively, without causing harmful side effects to delicate stone surfaces. Our product is unstoppable when combined with non-abrasive tools like a squeegee or a terry cloth, preserving the tiles' natural color and the sealant's protection on the grout lines. There's no better way to fight wear and tear while reducing the amount of dirt on shower surfaces.

To prevent moisture buildup, our team recommends opening the windows and doors to keep the air from becoming stale. This is the most direct approach to stopping the spread of mold and multiple risks to your bathroom's hygiene.

If you want to protect your stone surfaces more effectively, the specialists at Sir Grout Space Coast will be happy to assist you. You can count on our cleaning and sealing services to preserve the beauty of your floors and walls; we'll remove all the embedded dirt and ensure lasting results with our flagship sealant.
