The Loews Vanderbilt Hotel in Nashville Has the Most Gorgeous Floors Thanks to Our Grout Cleaning Crew

February 02, 2025

As soon as he noticed the signs of decay on his floors, the manager of the Loews Vanderbilt Hotel knew that he could trust Sir Grout Nashville. The porcelain floors in one of the restroom areas started to collect dirt on the grout, and the problem was even more visible inside the cubicles, where the lines had turned black in less than a month. Unfortunately, the combined efforts of the hotel's cleaning staff couldn't stop the discoloration, so the owner went online to contact our grout cleaning service in Nashville, TN.


Since he'd worked with Sir Grout Nashville, there was no doubt in his mind about our crew's ability to deliver the desired result, so he filled out the contact form as soon as he entered our website, only making a brief stop to check our picture gallery. Our techs got back to the manager on the same day, and soon, a date was set for a free consultation.

At the manager's request, we went to the hotel before the end of that week, and he immediately took our crew to the affected areas. The soiled grout did a lot to conceal the porcelain's natural elegance. Hence, the manager was naturally worried about guests questioning the hotel's hygiene standards, especially after weeks of effort from its staff. We explained that several factors could play a part in the deterioration of a ceramic tile floor.


Foot traffic, for one, will wear down the sealant much quicker, which is why high-traffic areas often collect more dirt on cement-based grout. Exposure to chemical-based cleaners also causes discoloration and can even risk damage to the grout after regular use. We tested our cleaner on the grout and offered to return later with the necessary equipment to restore the restroom area, to the manager's complete delight.

The restoration took place only two days later, and our specialists arrived at the hotel early in the morning to make the best of the day. Inside the restroom, we soaked the floor with our non-toxic cleaner and ran a high-speed scrubber across the entire surface, including the floor in each of the bathroom cubicles.

Once done with this part, we got ready to seal the grout. The hotel owner wanted to highlight the tile layout, so we used light gray sealant to match the porcelain's colors and make the grout stand out at the same time. Sir Grout's flagship sealant is the perfect solution to help you optimize your cleaning routine in a busy commercial setting because it ensures lasting protection to prevent embedded dirt. As such, it works against many external elements, including soil, grime, soap, cosmetic residue, grease, and more. You can't go wrong when you have our powerful sealant to protect your grout.

Our experts buffed the floor thoroughly to enhance its natural shine before calling the owner back into the room so he could assess the result. As expected, he was fully satisfied, remarking that the restroom finally exuded the sophistication that he wished to show in all of the hotel's guest areas.

He also showed interest in our cleaning equipment, so our techs shared their tips to help the client make the best of the hotel's cleaning program. First, our specialists described all the advantages that make pH-neutral products stand out from all the options available today. Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner removes embedded dirt much more seamlessly. It's designed to provide the desired result without any harmful side effects. This means that it takes less effort to keep a floor looking spotless through hours of foot traffic, with none of the discomfort caused by toxic fumes. While chemical-based cleaners become a thing of the past, hospitality businesses will maximize the quality of surface maintenance and customer satisfaction.

When it comes to removing residue or scrubbing off any stickiness, we recommend choosing non-abrasive equipment over steel wools and other sharp tools. There's no soapy residue to worry about when using pH-neutral cleaners, for starters, but towels and mops are also more effective at removing the dirt that gets stuck on harder-to-reach surfaces.

Lastly, we always stress the importance of keeping all rooms well-ventilated. It's not always easy to ensure the best air quality in all parts of a large hotel, which can cause many issues in damp settings.

If you want high-quality services to match the standards of your hospitality business, Sir Grout Nashville is here to exceed all your expectations.
