Our Grout Sealing Experts Made This Shower Floor in Manhattan Look Spotless

January 26, 2026

For nearly a month, a couple in Manhattan had done what they could to counter the decay of their shower floor. Soap and moisture made things particularly difficult, but the biggest shock came when regular cleaners made no change on the embedded dirt. Even after multiple cleaning attempts, the floor's grout was covered in grime to the point that it was impossible to see the lines under all the dirt.


This was a clear sign that the couple needed the assistance of a hard surface professional, so they started looking for a grout sealing service in Manhattan. Sir Grout Manhattan stood out from all the companies they came across online, especially after the couple got to peruse our picture gallery. After reading through other parts of our website, they both agreed that it was time to give us a call.

Following the couple's request, our techs arrived at the house a few days later, and they immediately explained the situation with the shower floor. During the evaluation, we noticed soap residue on the floor tiles and large amounts of embedded dirt in nearly the entire grout. The effect was all the more glaring when contrasting the floor grout with the rest of the shower, where the grout lines had kept a uniform white color. The discoloration also made it harder to appreciate the floor's layout. Instead, it made the surface look dull and sticky, so our crew could see why the owners were so concerned about the shower's hygiene.

Once done with the inspection, we offered to return at a later date with the necessary equipment to restore the surface. Regular cleaners would keep the couple stuck on the same cycle, and the risk of structural damage would only grow as moisture seeped behind the tiles. The clients listened attentively as our techs explained Sir Grout's cleaning and sealing process, and they immediately agreed with the plan.

On the scheduled date, they both welcomed our crew back into their home and we got ready to work on the shower floor. To remove all the embedded mold and soap scum, our experts soaked the floor with a non-toxic cleaner and meticulously scrubbed off all the residue as it got loose. We also used a 275-degree vapor steamer, making sure to clean the corners joints and the grout on the threshold.

After making sure that nothing remained between the tiles, our specialists recolored the lines on the floor so they could match the grout on the walls. Thanks to our acrylic-based ColorSeal, grout surfaces can stay spotless for weeks and even months because there's a powerful barrier repelling all external elements, including mold, hard water, and soap. This way, you can preserve the color of your grout without worrying about the deterioration caused by moisture buildup.

This marked the end of the restoration, and the shower floor looked incredible. Now that the grout had regained its pristine white color, the shower finally resembled the appearance it used to have when the couple first bought the house. They thanked our specialists for providing such fantastic services and promised to recommend Sir Grout Manhattan to more people in the area.

While putting away our equipment, we went over some additional tips to protect hard surfaces in all parts of the house. Our specialists started by recommending pH-neutral cleaners over traditional solutions like bleach and soap-based formulas. Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner shows that it's possible to save time while improving your cleaning results because it removes the dirt more thoroughly without risking any damage to the grout. Our product combines high-quality ingredients to provide maximum cleaning power. It removes the stains caused by mold, mildew, soap scum, and grime, all without exposing people and pets to chemical fumes.

As our techs told the couple, all you need is our pH-neutral formula and non-abrasive equipment to remove all the elements that could affect a room's overall hygiene. Either a towel, a terry cloth, or a squeegee will do the trick, even on harder-to-reach surfaces like the seams and corner joints.

Our last recommendation is a general reminder to keep the best air quality indoors. This is all the more crucial in bathroom areas since fresh air is the best defense against the effects of moisture buildup. It will keep your tiles from getting sticky and reduce the chances of mold inside your shower.
