This Floor in Allentown Was Fully Revived With Our Amazing Tile Cleaning Process

April 15, 2025

An unsuccessful cleaning routine can be a homeowner's most significant source of frustration, and the results can easily strip the beauty of your tile surfaces. An Allentown resident missed the beauty of his floors, namely the textured ceramic surface in his hallway. Nothing he did manage to eliminate the sizeable brown mark that spread across the tiles, and soon, it became the most noticeable part of the floor.


Because of this, that part of the house looked unhygienic, and the homeowner wanted to find a solution before inviting people over. With this plan in mind, he went online looking for an alternative to replace the cleaners he'd been using. There was no shortage of DIY solutions, but in the end, the owner felt much more reassured about trusting a professional tile cleaning service in Allentown.

Sir Grout Bucks PA piqued his interest right after reading the cleaning tips on our website. From there, he went through our picture gallery and a couple of blog posts to learn more about our areas of expertise. Lastly, the homeowner headed to our online scheduler and contacted us via the contact form.

At his convenience, our experts visited his house a few days later for an in-home evaluation. Upon entering the hallway, we noticed a few issues, including traces of soapy residue that made the floor look sticky and unhygienic. This was also why parts of the tiles looked discolored while grime gathered on the grout, darkening its color. Our experts explained that most traditional cleaners leave the same foamy residue on hard surfaces, so they're not the most reliable solution for a homeowner's weekly cleaning routine.

The floor could look better, but we quickly confirmed no lasting damage to the tiles. After using Sir Grout's professional equipment to remove the embedded dirt, we just needed to seal the grout. After our techs described the process, the client was entirely on board with this plan, so he took that chance to schedule a new appointment with us.

We returned to the house on the agreed-upon date, preparing our equipment to work on the hallway floor. First, our experts used a non-toxic cleaner to get the dirt loose on the tile and ran a high-speed scrubber across every inch of the ceramic surface. We worked carefully and meticulously to eliminate all the moisture and grime so the floor's color looked much more uniform when we started sealing the grout.

Our specialists recolored the grout lines with our signature ColorSeal for this restoration part. Available in multiple colors, this special sealant transforms the grout while protecting the pores against external elements, including soap residue, soil, mold, mildew, and more. You can't go wrong with ColorSeal protecting the most active parts of your home.

We completed the process shortly after this point, buffing the floor one last time after applying tile sealant on the ceramic surface. Then, we asked the client to assess the result, and he was thrilled by what he saw. The surface had regained its soft, warm color, and there was no dirt to overshadow the details on the tiles. Amazed by the quality of our work, the client promised to recommend our services to more people in Allentown.

Following another successful restoration, our techs were ready to leave the client's house, but first, we went over some essential cleaning pointers to prevent any damage to the tiles in the future. We went over all the advantages that pH-neutral cleaners have over generic products. Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner will not miss a stain. It combines the most effective ingredients to get through thick layers of grime, the dirt carried over by foot traffic, and any stickiness on your tiles after a long day. Also, there's no need to worry about releasing toxic fumes into your home because our product has no harsh chemicals in its formula. This is all the more beneficial when considering all the damage that chemical-based cleaners can cause on hard surfaces after repeated use.

Our crew also recommended using non-abrasive tools like a terry cloth or a towel when scraping off dry stains since steel wools are known for scratching ceramic tile, even when homeowners avoid scrubbing too hard. Lastly, we told the client to open the windows and doors throughout the day to help circulate fresh air. A busy hallway can collect heaps of dirt in only a few hours, so homeowners must be extra vigilant about indoor ventilation.
