Our Grout Sealing Brings the Most Amazing Transformation to a Porcelain Floor in Ocean

July 05, 2023

Under their delicate appearance, porcelain floors are resistant to decay. However, this doesn't mean that porcelain will remain spotless if its only protection comes from subpar cleaners. A homeowner in Ocean, NJ, had been puzzling over the stains on her porcelain floor after the cleaning products she'd used for years started doing their job improperly. All the tiles of her kitchen floor looked incredibly dirty, not to mention the stains covering most of the floor's grout.


The homeowner tried some homemade solutions but didn't dare to buy new cleaning products out of fear of worsening the problem. Having the floor professionally restored seemed like the safest choice to preserve the porcelain, so the homeowner went online hoping to find a grout sealing company in Ocean, New Jersey that could be up to the task.

It didn't take long. The homeowner found Sir Grout Central New Jersey at the beginning of her search, and she became confident in our expertise as soon as she saw all the results in our picture gallery. A few days after she filled the "Request a Quote" form on our website, our specialists were at her doorstep to begin their evaluation of her kitchen floor.

Early on during the inspection, our techs could see that there was a lot of soil to get through. Most of the floor was sticky with dry liquids, grime, and dirt carried over from outside. While there was no structural damage on the grout, all the grout lines were stained after having absorbed so many external substances. Since the client confirmed that she maintained a strict cleaning regime in her kitchen, our specialists suspected that the use of generic cleaners was the main reason why the floor had accumulated so many stains in so little time. After looking over the client's cleaning equipment, they explained that acidic cleaners open the grout pores and trap the dirt on porcelain surfaces, not to mention the discoloration on the tiles after constant exposure. The client was distraught, but our specialists reassured her, telling her that Sir Grout's equipment could take care of all the stains and seal the grout to stop the problem from repeating itself.

At the client's request, our specialists returned a few days later to start the restoration process. The first step was to apply a pH-neutral cleaner on the kitchen floor, letting it sit for a few minutes as the dirt began to detach from the tiles and grout. Then, they ran a high-speed scrubber to remove all the loose soil until there were no marks left on the floor. Our cleaner is a homeowner's best asset because it simplifies cleaning without subjecting the floors to harsh chemicals that could trap the dirt instead of getting rid of it.

To seal the grout, our specialists covered all the grout lines with a coat of ColorSeal. Our sealant brings benefits on all ends, instantaneously making the grout look more flattering while helping inhibit the growth of fungi, mold, and mildew. It's the ultimate solution to keep a clean grout for years on end. The client wanted to recolor the grout in white, so by the time we were done sealing, the grout lines looked striking against the tile's rich brown color.

Needless to say, she was endlessly pleased when we showed her the results. Now that the grout had been thoroughly restored, her floor had never looked better, and the porcelain tiles added a new appeal to the whole kitchen area. She thanked our specialists for their services and promised to recommend our grout sealing services all over Ocean.

Cleaning porcelain surfaces might be tricky, so our specialists gave the client a few pointers to make things go smoothly down the line. They recommended using only pH-neutral cleaning products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner since they have no acidic ingredients that cause gradual damage to the grout and the tiles. Our cleaner is also more effective than regular products, quickly removing dirt, spills, soil, mold, and mildew while protecting the tile's surface. Their second recommendation was to ensure good indoor ventilation to prevent moisture buildup since kitchens are hot spots for spills and dampness. To scrub off any leftover stickiness, our specialists recommended using a mop or a clean towel instead of steel wools and other harsh tools that could scratch the porcelain. Other than that, the client wouldn't have to stress over keeping a spotless floor as long as she kept up with her weekly cleaning.
