Our Lakeview Tile Cleaning Experts Revamped This Condo Building's Lobby Floor

December 22, 2021

The manager of a condo building in Lakeview, IL, needed our assistance. Several residents of the property were not happy with the condition of the lobby's floor and they had expressed their discomfort. The manager inspected the surface, and she noticed it indeed looked shabby and unappealing. She wanted to solve the problem as soon as possible, so she decided to look for a professional hard surface restoration company. Thankfully, Sir Grout Chicago saved the day once again.


A quick internet search led the manager to our website. She went online and typed Lakeview Tile Cleaning services, and at the top results, she found the link to our site. After thoroughly browsing our picture gallery, and reading the positive reviews we receive from satisfied customers, she filled out the "Request a Quote" form and asked for a free assessment.

The request was quickly processed, and soon after, we arrived at the property to provide the consultation. The manager of the building welcomed us and showed us the affected floor. As we entered the lobby, we noticed the problems. The tiles had an unsightly appearance and the grout lines were full of dirt. Because of this, the entire surface looked run-down. As we continued the evaluation, we learned the grout needed sealing. When this porous mixture is unsealed, it is exposed to further deterioration, so it is essential to apply a special sealant.

After gathering the necessary information, we offered a solution. We informed the manager that regular cleaning wouldn't be effective to address all the issues. This job would require Sir Grout's top-notch process and professional equipment. We offered a tile cleaning service to rectify all the damages and give the lobby's floor a brand-new look. Before providing a quote, we proved the effectiveness of our solution by briefly testing our products on the surface. The phenomenal results convinced the manager to hire us.

A few days later, we returned to the building to begin the floor's restoration. Our multi-step process is a thorough procedure that ensures the best results. First, we cleaned the surface using our exclusive cleaner and a high-speed scrubber. Our product is made with high-quality ingredients, so it won't cause any damage. It loosens the soiling, and our machine scrubs it all out. Once the surface was pristine, it was time for the grout repairs. For this task, we worked on the entire floor using professional diamond saws until we addressed the damages and fixed all the issues. The next step of the job was the sealing process.

For optimal results and long-lasting protection, we applied a coating of Sir Grout's ColorSeal. Our top-of-the-line sealant provides superb defense and offers unmatched protection. It wards off dirt, grime, and other external agents. This reduces deterioration and makes cleaning routines easy and fast. Our sealers also repel UV rays, minimizing solar damage. ColorSeal revamps the surface, improving the grout with a beautiful new look. It comes in a wide range of colors, so our clients can select the most suitable for their surfaces. Our work finished with a successful restoration, the surface had been completely renewed, and the building's lobby looked great.

With our goal accomplished, we called the manager and showed her the results. Our client loved the refreshed look of the floor. She was pleased because the job had been fast and cost-effective. Impressed with our performance, she decided to enroll in our maintenance program for commercial settings. Now, we visit the property twice a year to keep the surface in top condition.

Residential buildings are bustling areas. As a result, surfaces endure heavy wear and tear, which can lead to quick deterioration. Any commercial setting requires proper maintenance, and for this reason, we always take the time to give our clients useful recommendations. We suggested setting a regular cleaning routine using only pH-neutral soap-free cleaners like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Our product is soap-free and offers many other benefits. It is also non-toxic and safe for everyone, including pets.

It is best to avoid soap-based cleaners or substances that contain acidic properties. These products contain harsh agents and chemicals that can leave negative effects on the surface. They leave a sticky foam as well. This residue seeps into the grout, leading to decay, producing stains, discoloration, and other issues. When applying the cleaning solution, always use clean mops. Let the floor dry completely and make sure to prevent foot traffic on the wet surface.

As you can see, Sir Grout Chicago's tile cleaning services offer excellent results. If there are shabby and dirty surfaces in your property, don't worry, our certified techs know exactly what to do to help you.
