This House Is Now Ready to Be Sold Thanks to a Tile Cleaning in Nolensville, TN

January 18, 2021

Selling properties isn't a simple task. It involves a wide array of processes that must be taken care of before the house is shown to potential customers. Our most recent clients, a family from Nolensville, TN, were about to put their home up for sale. For the most part, they had everything they needed to start advertising their lovely home. Their master bathroom, however, was in dire need of a touch-up. Dirty grout and grime plagued the surfaces, making them appear unhygienic. At first, they tried cleaning the surfaces using different products and DIY methods, but they ultimately decided to hire a reputable tile cleaning company in Nolensville that could help them restore the shower.


The homeowners chose to work with us after a recommendation from their realtor. She had seen what our restoration services were capable of in another property. On the day of the consultation, we arrived at the client's house to perform the evaluation. We thoroughly inspected the surfaces and concluded that the shower's surfaces needed to be restored. Dirt and other substances had accumulated on the joints over time, causing them to stain.

The clients asked if we could offer a timely solution to their problem. After all, they only had a few days left before the house was advertised. We assured them we could remedy the shower's wear and tear with a professional tile and grout cleaning and sealing service. We would also replace the worn-out caulk on the shower's expansion joints. The homeowners agreed to the service and scheduled an appointment for the next day.

We returned to the client's home the following day to perform the service. We began by soaking the surfaces with our Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. This is a pH-neutral cleaning solution that's safe for tile and grout. It also contains properties that help eradicate common household bacteria, mold, and mildew. We let the cleaner sit for a few minutes to allow most of the deep-seated grime to come loose. Next, we removed the leftover dirt using a high-speed scrubber. When we finished cleaning the shower, we dried the surfaces to replace the damaged caulk.

To finish the restoration procedure, we sealed the shower's grout lines with our proprietary sealant ColorSeal. This is an acrylic-based sealant that protects grout against stains, soap, water, mold, and mildew. It also makes surfaces easier to maintain and comes in a variety of colors. The clients chose a tone that matched the tiles to give the shower a more uniform appearance.

The customers loved the outcome. Their concerns about the deteriorated shower impacting the sale price of their home were gone and their expectations had been exceeded. They thanked us for the job and promised they would recommend our cost-effective solutions to anyone in need of a hard surface restoration service.

Before leaving, we gave the homeowners a list of maintenance tips they could relay to potential buyers. We first recommended cleaning the shower once a week using a pH-neutral cleaner like our proprietary cleaner. Unlike most store-bought products, this cleaning solution doesn't contain acidic substances or soap. This is a key step to avoid damaging any surface. We also suggested wiping excess moisture away after every shower to avoid water damage and mold growth. To finish, we advised the clients to tell their customers to schedule regular maintenance sessions to ensure everything is in good shape. Leaving hard surface problems unattended can result in disaster or expensive repairs. The customers thanked us for the tips and assured us they would give these tips to their prospects.
