Thanks to a Superb Stone Cleaning in Franklin, This Outdoor Floor Received an Incredible Overhaul

August 09, 2021

A couple from Franklin, TN, was hosting a party for their friends and neighbors in their beautiful home. Everything was going according to the plan, but they found a problem with the outdoors' natural stone floor. The surface looked dirty and unappealing. The owners tried regular cleaning, but nothing seemed to work. Determined to solve the issue, they used some DIY methods they found online. Unfortunately, they noticed no positive results.


Since they needed to find a solution as soon as possible, the owners decided to hire professionals. While they were searching for a hard surface restoration company, one of their friends came to visit her, and thankfully, he was a loyal Sir Grout Nashville client. He highly recommended our services, saying we had done an amazing job restoring his granite shower. Following his suggestion, the owners went online to get more information about us on our website. After thoroughly browsing our picture gallery and reading testimonials from our satisfied customers, they called us and asked for a free in-home consultation. Our Franklin Stone Cleaning experts successfully restored their natural stone floor and now the couple can host the event without worries.

Soon after the owners' request, we visited their house to assess the condition of the floor. We immediately noticed the damages to the stone. Over the years, the floor had received heavy wear and tear. As a result, the surface had accumulated dirt and it looked run-down. It also had mold and algae growth, which gave the stone an unsightly appearance. When we finished the inspection, we concluded that regular cleaning wouldn't provide the solution the owners were looking for. An effective restoration would require Sir Grout's hard surface expertise, our professional restoration methods, and top-notch equipment. We proposed a stone cleaning service to address all the problems, improve the floor with a new look, and give the stone a complete overhaul. The couple was pleased with our offer, hired us, and we set up a date for the job.


A couple of days later, we returned to our clients' home to restore the natural stone floors. To begin the process, we cleaned the surface with our stone-safe pH-neutral cleaner and a high-end scrubber. Our product offers many benefits and doesn't leave a residue. It effectively loosens the soiling and our machine scrubs it all out. We worked on the entire floor until it was pristine and spotless. For the final step of the restoration, we applied a special product to inhibit the re-growth of mold and algae. When we finished, the stone was fully revamped and it looked beautiful. We were ready to show the results to our clients.

The couple was beyond thrilled when they saw the renewed appearance of the surface. They were happy because everything looked clean and perfect. After thanking us, they said our work was impressive and assured us they would recommend Sir Grout Nashville to their friends, family, and neighbors.


For Sir Grout, it is a priority to teach our clients how to take care of their surfaces. For this reason, we stayed a while longer and gave the couple some suggestions for safer and more effective maintenance. We recommended cleaning the surface regularly. When performing this task, use only pH-neutral soap-free cleaners like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Our product is easy to use, non-toxic, and safe for everyone in the house, including pets. Before using cleaners on the surface, hose the area with water. The stone needs to be wet so it doesn't soak up the cleaner and form a murky film. After that, we recommended preparing a mild cleaning solution with warm water. Once the solution is ready, start working in small areas at a time, gently pouring the solution on the surface.

To brush the floor, use a stiff brush. We recommended using a stiff-bristled broom to scrub the cleaning solution on the surface. Scrub in different directions to prevent wearing out the same spot. Avoid using wire brushes or scouring pads. These tools can leave scratches on the stone. Once the scrubbing and cleaning are done, rinse down the area with clean water. For better results, use a regular garden hose instead of a power washer. This equipment can cause damage by excavating dirt between the joints. It is best to use a safer option.
