Our Nashville Hard Surface Restoration Services Gave This Restroom the Most Amazing Makeover

February 01, 2022

A pair of business owners in Nashville, TN, contacted our hard surface restoration services after their office bathroom started showing signs of neglect. The gray tile running all over the floor and walls usually made the bathroom look sophisticated, but the dirt that had stuck to the surface, especially the grout lines on the floor, only served to give it a rundown appearance that did nothing to boost the staff's morale.


After speaking with the cleaning staff, and confirming that they still used standard cleaning products, the owners figured there was a deeper problem at hand. Hoping to give the bathroom a full makeover, they set out to find the best Nashville Hard Surface Restoration Services online. They contacted Sir Grout Nashville after asking for references among their peers and getting glowing reviews about our services. Soon after the clients filled the "Request a Quote" form on our website, our specialists made their way to the office building to inspect the bathroom floor.

The clients had reason to be concerned. Almost the entirety of the grout's surface was completely covered in grime, and some parts of the tiles had become discolored to the point that they looked decades older. We suspected that there was no sealant protecting the grout, and one of the clients confirmed that the last sealing service had been more than three years ago. At our request, the clients showed us the cleaning products that had been used through the office's cleaning routine, which cleared some of our questions regarding the state of the floor. We described how regular cleaners actually trap the dirt on the surface, making it easier for the grout pores to absorb external elements and microorganisms.

Moreover, ammonia and bleach-based cleaners can damage the surface over time, so they're far from ideal in busy settings where floors need to be cleaned constantly. We then moved on to explain the best course of action to deal with the problem. In short, we needed our professional equipment to clean the bathroom to perfection, and the grout had to be sealed to keep dirt and liquids from seeping through. The clients were happy with this approach and scheduled a new appointment to have their floors restored that same week.

On the appointed date, our specialists were back at the office to begin working on the bathroom. First, they removed all traces of dirt from the floor using a pH-neutral cleaner, along with a high-speed scrubbing machine that got rid of the embedded soil after the cleaner did its job. With all the surfaces now free of dirt, we could start working on the grout lines.

For this, our specialists applied a coat of ColorSeal all over the grout. Sir Grout's flagship sealant is the ultimate solution to simplify grout maintenance. It protects the grout surface from absorbing water, soil, mold, mildew, and other fluids, preventing the gradual deterioration that comes from having external elements trapped in the grout's pores. The clients decided to have the grout re-colored in a darker shade of gray that blended beautifully with the tiles' tone.

With the grout successfully restored, our specialists applied MicroGuard all over the bathroom surfaces. Its unmatched surface protection preserves the tiles' surface against the office's activity, including foot traffic and all the dirt carried from all other parts of the building. After giving the floor a final buffing, our specialists called the clients back to evaluate the results. Of course, both of them were thrilled. The bathroom looked pristine, and the floor tiles looked particularly resplendent.

After thanking our techs for their service, the clients asked for other pointers to keep hard surfaces clean among all the hastiness of an office setting. Our specialists recommended using pH-neutral products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner to guarantee an effective, safer cleaning routine. Our product has no harsh components that could potentially wear down the grout or tiles, and it helps the sealant's protection to make cleaning less of a chore. High-traffic areas need constant cleaning but are also more vulnerable to the chemical residues that a generic cleaner leaves in its wake. Because there are no toxic ingredients in its formula, our cleaner is much safer for your staff and clients. We brought up other general steps that are often overlooked, like cleaning spills right after they happen and making sure all ventilation systems work properly to allow good air circulation at all times.
