These Floors in Oak Island Look Better Than Ever Thanks to Our Grout Cleaning Process

July 09, 2025

Cleaning your floors is a fundamental part of household chores, but it can become needlessly overwhelming when you don't have the tools to prevent dirt from getting embedded in the grout. A homeowner in Oak Island felt anxious about not being able to clean her floors thoroughly. The grout in both the kitchen area and the entryway was almost entirely covered in grime, so she couldn't make the floors look good even after removing the stains on the ceramic tiles.


The homeowner decided to look for a grout cleaning service in Oak Island; replacing her cleaners didn't guarantee a satisfying result, and she didn't want to let the problem go on for too long. So, she took her search online and found Sir Grout Crystal Coast right away. After reading about our grout restoration process and checking our picture gallery, the owner felt that she was ready to contact our specialists, so she gave us a call to schedule an in-home evaluation. Only a couple of days later, our techs were at her doorstep.

We started the evaluation right after exchanging greetings with the client, moving from the mudroom to the kitchen floor. Grime and soapy residue were particularly evident in the kitchen's light-colored tiles, on top of the dirt in the entire grout. Marks are expected in these parts of the house, but we could tell that the effect of chemical cleaners worsened the problem. These products attract much of the dirt carried over by foot traffic, trapping it on porous surfaces.

Since the grout on both floors was unsealed, there was nothing to counter the accumulation of grime between the tiles, so we immediately knew that we had to seal the grout after a thorough cleaning service. The client listened attentively while our experts explained all these observations and, at the end of our visit, she was entirely on board with our offer to clean and seal the floors.


Our techs returned to her house on the appointed date to begin the process. We used a permeating cleaner and a high-speed scrubber to clean the floors in the entryway and kitchen area. Our product is safe for tiles and grout, so it easily removes all the dirt without adding to the discoloration on the surface.

Then, it was time to seal the grout lines. Our experts used Sir Grout's top-of-the-line ColorSeal. This product prevents the absorption of liquids and adds a layer of protection to repel dirt, grime, and all other harmful external agents. Maintaining grout surfaces isn't a problem, thanks to its protective effect, and your cleaning sessions flow more smoothly. It also comes in various colors so owners can match the grout with the tiles, enhancing the appearance of the entire floor. In this case, the homeowner wanted the grout to match the ceramic's color, so we used a light beige sealant for the kitchen floor and a warm brown color for the grout in the entryway.

Lastly, we buffed both surfaces and let the client assess the results. She was happy to see the floors' pristine appearance and admired the tiles' brand-new glow. She told us the floor looked as it did when she bought the house and said she would trust Sir Grout Crystal Coast with all her residential surfaces.

Before leaving, we gave the owner some suggestions to ensure more satisfying results in her cleaning routine. Our crew recommended cleaning the surface every week using pH-neutral formulas like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Soap-based products and acidic solutions contain harsh agents that can deteriorate the grout and stain the tiles. By contrast, our product doesn't leave toxic residue behind and is much safer for people and pets. The lack of chemical ingredients doesn't reduce its effectiveness, so homeowners can expect the best results in all house parts.

Regarding cleaning tools, our experts recommended using non-abrasive equipment, including mops, towels, or terry cloths. We also reminded the client to avoid rinsing a mop into the same cleaning solution used on the surface because it leads to grime build-up. Lastly, we generalized the reminder to open the windows and doors so fresh air could circulate more freely inside the house. The client thanked us for the assistance and promised to tell more people about the quality of our services.
