Learn How Our Grout Sealing Experts Revamped This Kitchen Floor in Bethany Beach

August 29, 2025

Kitchen surfaces can lose their shine to many things, like grease, moisture, and foot traffic. If you manage a kitchen, you probably know that keeping the dirt off every surface is easier said than done, which is why many homeowners grow disappointed in most of the cleaners on the market. This was the case for a Bethany Beach resident who'd been trying to clean her floor for weeks. She could see how the embedded dirt altered the grout's color while compromising the kitchen's hygiene.


The owner was aware of a few restoration companies in the area but wasn't fully convinced until she learned about Sir Grout of Sussex County and grout sealing service in Bethany Beach. After reading glowing reviews and seeing the impressive results in our picture gallery, she felt confident that our specialists had the skills and equipment for a thorough, safe cleaning. A quick phone call reassured her that her floors wouldn't be exposed to harsh chemicals. Preserving the tiles' natural color was a top priority, and with our agent's guidance, she decided to let us inspect her kitchen floor.

We arrived at the house a few days later, and the owner immediately showed us the kitchen area. The floor's beauty was undeniable, and the ceramic's color made a lasting impression. Still, the grout's dull brown color ruined much of its appeal. The dirt on the grout made the floor look unhygienic, hiding its original layout. This is a common side effect of soap-based cleaners, especially when dealing with unsealed grout. These products create a foamy film that permeates porous surfaces and attracts more dirt. Cement-based grout is particularly prone to damage, so we stress the importance of sealing the surface after at least a few years.

The client listened attentively as we shared all our findings with her and agreed to our plan once we had outlined each restoration step. Regular cleaners couldn't solve the issue, but our professional equipment would be enough to transform the grout.

Our specialists returned later that week, wearing our standard uniform and carrying all the necessary equipment. We started by cleaning the floor with a non-toxic solution that effectively detached the dirt on the grout and any stickiness permeating the tiles. With the help of a high-speed scrubbing machine, our techs managed to do a quick, efficient job, leaving the floor looking much better before the second half of the process.

Then, we applied acrylic-based sealant to all the grout lines to enhance their protection against dirt, liquids, and other external elements. Our flagship ColorSeal provides all the effectiveness you want for busy areas where foot traffic is unavoidable. It is also available in multiple colors to ensure the result looks good in any setting, as shown by the lovely contrast between the grout and the ceramic tiles. Our experts eliminated the residue to complete the restoration and buffed the floor to bring out its natural shine.

As expected, the client loved the floor's new look, stating that the grout's new color made the kitchen look larger and more striking. She also promised to tell her friends about our high-quality services the next time she had people at her house.

Before leaving the client's house, our crew shared additional cleaning tips to prevent similar issues in other parts of the house. First, we explained why pH-neutral cleaners are much more effective when it comes to the maintenance of high-traffic surfaces. Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner, for instance, is designed to simplify your chores, combining many high-quality ingredients in its formula. You can save time by removing the embedded dirt without adding any other product. This makes preserving the surfaces' natural color easier since they are not constantly exposed to harsh ingredients. Your floors will look spotless at all hours of the day, and you won't have to get used to black spots on the grout.

Our second recommendation is to use non-abrasive tools like a towel or a mop. This will add precision to your cleaning routine by removing dirt from harder-to-reach surfaces without scratching the tiles. Just wash your tools between cleaning sessions to keep the dirt from travelling across different parts of the house.
Lastly, our techs always remind clients to check the room's ventilation at different times of the day. If you sense that the air is becoming stale, opening the windows will improve the air quality inside the house, preventing the spread of mold and other signs of moisture buildup.

When you trust Sir Grout of Sussex County, you can rest easy knowing your floors are in the best hands.
