A resident from Glencoe, IL needed our help. While performing regular maintenance, she noticed a problem in her bathroom. The tiles and the grout looked dirty and run-down. She was not pleased with this situation, so she looked for a quick solution. Determined to solve the problem as soon as possible, the homeowner tried some DIY cleaning routines she found online. She followed the instructions, but unfortunately, nothing worked.

Frustrated by the negative results, she decided to hire professionals. Thankfully, one of her friends told her about Sir Grout Chicago. He was a loyal client and highly recommended our Chicago Caulking Services, saying we had done an incredible job in his house. Following his suggestion, she went online to get more information about us on our website. Everything she saw and read convinced her we were the right choice. She filled out the "Request a Quote" form and asked for a free assessment.

We visited her house a couple of days later to inspect the bathroom and to offer an effective solution for the problems. We immediately noticed the grout lines had acquired a dark, unsightly color. This is a common issue because grout absorbs dirt, grime, and soap residue. The caulking suffered heavy deterioration as well. When the caulk is damaged, it's necessary to remove it and apply a new solution.

After close inspection, we learned the surface needed sealing. To prevent future damages, it's essential to address this issue. After finishing the assessment, we concluded regular cleaning methods wouldn't work as expected. The restoration required Sir Grout's professional process and high-end equipment. We offered our caulking services to get rid of all the damages and improve the shower with a brand-new look. The owner was pleased with the offer, so she decided to hire us for the job.

Shortly after the in-home consultation, we returned to begin the restoration. For the first step of the process, we cleaned the surface using our exclusive cleaner and a high-speed scrubber. Our product is pH-neutral and offers many benefits. It loosens the soiling and our machine scrubs it out. After that, we used a steam cleaner to remove any embedded dirt. Once the shower was spotless, we continued with the grout repairs. Using professional diamond saws, we painstakingly worked on the entire surface until we fixed all the issues. To continue the job, we needed to address the caulking.

Since the caulk was badly damaged, it was necessary to replace it. To ensure long-lasting results, we used a special epoxy solution for this process. Unlike regular grout or caulk, this product isn't porous and has a durable composition. It's ideal for showers because it's resistant to mold and mildew. For the final step, we sealed the grout lines using Sir Grout's ColorSeal. Our top of the line sealant provides unmatched protection. It wards off dirt and grime, as well as effectively reducing deterioration from daily use. ColorSeal greatly improves the surface by giving the grout a uniform color and a beautiful new appearance. When we finished, the shower had been completely restored and everything looked great.

The results of our work were awe-inspiring. Our client loved the gorgeous look of the bathroom. She was very happy because the job had been fast and cost-effective. After thanking us, she told us our performance surpassed all her expectations and assured us she would recommend Sir Grout Chicago to everyone.

Bathrooms receive constant daily use. As a result of this heavy wear and tear, maintenance can become troublesome. Following our recommendations is the best way to keep these difficult areas in top condition. We suggested establishing a weekly cleaning routine. For optimal results, use only pH-neutral soap-free cleaners like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Our product is made with high-quality ingredients and doesn't leave any residue. It's non-toxic and safe for everyone in the house, including pets. We don't recommend using soap-based cleaners because they leave a residue that seeps into the grout lines. This can lead to quick deterioration and severe problems like structural damage. It's best to avoid cleaning solutions with acidic properties as well. These substances contain harsh agents that can harm the surface.

To safely prevent mold and mildew growth, it's necessary to keep the area well-ventilated and dry. Allow the moisture to flow freely by leaving the door ajar or window open. Always dry the surface using a squeegee, a towel, or a terry cloth rag. Squeegeeing after every use is also one of the best ways to minimize the accumulation of dirt particles.
