Our Tile Cleaning Experts Restored This Shower in Sanibel With an Impressive Makeover

July 16, 2025

A Sanibel homeowner wanted to show the beauty of her master shower fully. Still, after trying a handful of cleaners on the surface, she started losing hope in regular cleaning solutions. Soap scum was visible all over the walls and the floor, discoloring the tile so that it looked duller. Her concerns only grew once she noticed a few gaps in the floor's grout, so at this point, the homeowner decided to replace generic products with the expertise of a tile cleaning service in Sanibel.


Like many of our loyal customers, she first learned about Sir Grout SW Florida during her online search. Upon visiting our website, the owner read about our history in the hard surface restoration industry and checked our picture gallery to get some examples of our previous jobs. Once she was satisfied with her findings, she gave us a call to schedule a visit.

At her convenience, our specialists visited the house a couple of days later to evaluate the shower area. We noted the damage to the grout and the amount of soap scum marring the walls, taking our time inspecting each part of the shower. We also ensured that there were no structural issues to address during the restoration, concluding that the floor seams needed to be regrouted to keep the cracks from spreading.


In short, the solution was to deep clean the shower with our tile-safe product and professional equipment. We also had to seal the grout and make the necessary repairs on the floor. The homeowner was on board with that idea after seeing how moisture could affect unsealed surfaces. She scheduled a new appointment for the restoration, and our techs agreed to return later that week.

A couple of days later, we arrived at the house for the second time, donning our company uniforms and carrying the equipment into the bathroom. For the first step, our experts cleaned all the walls and the floor with a non-toxic cleaner that got the dirt loose after a few minutes. Then, we used a 275-degree vapor steamer to eliminate all traces of mold and dirt from the seams and other parts of the grout.

For the next step, our team installed water-resistant epoxy grout on all the seams and the lines on the floor before sealing the grout on the wall with our exclusive ColorSeal. We worked meticulously to protect each part of the shower, enhancing the grout's protection against water, mold, soap scum, and other external elements. The process ruled out the risks of water seeping behind the tiles, restoring its white color and smooth appearance.

After this step, the restoration was complete, and the master shower looked better than ever. As expected, the client was thrilled with the result and promised to tell everyone she knew about our high-quality services.

Our specialists ended the appointment with helpful cleaning tips to stop the spread of mold and mildew. The first recommendation was to replace generic solutions with pH-neutral products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Our formula works much better against embedded dirt while stopping soap scum from ruining the tiles' original color. Combining the most effective ingredients, this product removes common stains quickly without subjecting hard surfaces to harsh treatment. This is possible because, unlike most of the products on the market, pH-neutral cleaners don't have acidic imbalances that could gradually damage grout and ceramic tile. Our cleaner is the safest choice to clean natural stone surfaces regularly, and homeowners can use it frequently without being affected by toxic fumes.

Other recommendations focused on the right way to scrub off the dirt without scratching the surface. Our experts stressed the importance of using non-abrasive tools like a towel or a squeegee after ensuring the fabric is washed correctly. The homeowner could wipe out pools of water and soap residue from the shower floor to prevent the reappearance of mold. On a related note, we also instructed the client to check the ventilation in all bathroom areas since moisture buildup is likely on damp surfaces once the air grows stale.
