A Bethany Beach homeowner missed the beauty of her shower surfaces after weeks of trying to get the dirt off the walls. The ceramic tiles used to glow at the end of her cleaning sessions, but that stopped being the case after the first specks of mold appeared on the surface. The owner saw the tiles getting duller daily, adding more stress to her cleaning routine. Moreover, the deterioration of the seams was beyond anything she'd dealt with before, and it brought many additional concerns about the shower's structural integrity.

Shower Stall Before and After a Tile Cleaning in Bethany Beach
The homeowner started looking for tile cleaning services in Bethany Beach, hoping to find a company that could also solve the issues with the grout. With years of expertise restoring bathroom surfaces in the area, Sir Grout of Sussex County was the perfect answer, and the owner felt relieved once she started reading about our success stories over the years.

She chose a date for an appointment while filling out our website's contact form, and our specialists visited her house a few days later, as scheduled. After the client led us to the master bathroom, we looked at the shower stall and checked the grout for cracks. While the homeowner had managed to keep soap scum off most of the ceramic, the walls still looked duller, and the marks on the white tub were impossible to ignore. We also noticed some concerning details on the grout. For one, there were black spots all over the lines on the walls. The mold was evident on the seams, where we saw a few areas where the grout had started to go loose. As our crew explained, hard water has a high concentration of minerals and can begin to corrode hard surfaces after a while. Soap-based cleaners do little to solve the problem because they create a foamy film that makes it harder for homeowners to remove all traces of dirt.

The solution was a deep cleaning service with Sir Grout's professional equipment. Our team also needed to seal the grout and repair the seams, so we offered the complete restoration process and explained each step to the client. After we tested our cleaner on one of the tiles, she was entirely on board with the plan, so she didn't hesitate to schedule a new appointment with our techs.

Later that week, we arrived at the house for the second time. Our experts brought all the necessary equipment to complete the restoration that same day and got to work as soon as we entered the bathroom. We soaked every inch of the ceramic surface with a permeating formula and let the cleaner sit for a few minutes. Then, our crew removed all traces of dirt from the walls and the bathtub while vapor cleaning the stall to ensure no residue remained on harder-to-reach areas.

To restore the grout, our techs started by making the necessary repairs to the seams. We removed the old caulk and installed silicone caulking around the tub, enhancing the joints' durability against water, mold, mildew, and wear and tear. We also applied ColorSeal to all the grout lines on the wall to protect the porous surface against external agents. Our job restored the grout's uniform color and enhanced the different shades of gray on the tiles.

Needless to say, the homeowner loved the result, and she took her time admiring the shower's elegant look. After showing the result to the rest of her family, she promised to tell more people in the area about the quality of our restoration services.

Here are the recommendations we share with clients at the end of every appointment: First, it's essential to ensure that your cleaning product doesn't add to the damage caused by soap and hard water. pH-neutral products are more effective, and Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner is the perfect example. It combines high-quality ingredients to remove common shower stains with little effort, all without prompting discoloration to tile and grout surfaces. This way, you can preserve your bathroom surfaces and avoid the harmful effects of chemical ingredients, like corrosion, strong odors, and toxic fumes.

We recommend avoiding steel wools and other abrasive tools when scrubbing off embedded dirt. Tile surfaces will likely accumulate scratch marks after each cleaning session, and you won't even get to remove all the dirt. The best option is to use a fresh towel, a terry cloth, or a squeegee. These tools also help remove the moisture residue from your shower walls, which is a crucial step to prevent the growth of mold and mildew.

Lastly, we always remind clients to keep the air circulating in and out of their bathroom areas. Good indoor ventilation is essential for maintaining ceramic tile surfaces because a fresh environment keeps dirt from sticking to the surface. It's also more hygienic overall, so homeowners spend less time on their chores while getting better results.
