A Kitchen Floor in Soho Went Through an Amazing Makeover Thanks to Our Grout Cleaning Crew

January 09, 2026

It's hard to stay on top of your household chores when the products at hand deliver nothing but subpar results. This was the case of a Soho resident who'd put all her energies into the care of her kitchen area, knowing how important it was to keep a hygienic environment at all times. She was understandably disappointed when her efforts couldn't stop the spread of dirt on the kitchen floor, despite the fact that she'd tried to address the problem from the start, back when the first dark spots started spreading across the grout.


Worried about taking the wrong step during her cleaning routine, she stopped using regular cleaners and asked the opinion of some of her relatives. One of them recommended Sir Grout Manhattan, stating that our grout cleaning service in Soho had no match when it came to providing long-term results. Intrigued by this assessment, the owner found our website online and read through some of our success stories. It wasn't long before she decided to call us for an in-home evaluation.

So, our techs arrived at the house the next day to evaluate the kitchen floor, and the client gladly summarized the problem for us. Upon looking at the floor, we noticed that the embedded dirt not only affected the grout but also portions of the tiles, particularly in the area next to the cabinets. Because of this, the surface looked dull and unattractive despite the ceramic's elegant design. It didn't take long for us to confirm that the grout was unsealed, so external elements could easily seep into the porous surface, hiding its natural color.

There were other factors to consider: While there's no shortage of cleaning products in the market, most of them lack the right ingredients to remove all the embedded dirt on the grout. In fact, some of it is trapped on the surface due to the soapy residue that these products leave behind. With all this in mind, our specialists offered to clean the entire floor and seal the grout so it could stay spotless for longer. The homeowner agreed with this plan after reviewing our no-obligation quote, and a date was set for the job.

A couple of days later, we visited the client's home for the second time and she led us back to the kitchen for the restoration. Our experts prepared the kitchen area and soaked the floor with a permeating cleaner, spreading the product with the help of a high-speed scrubber. After several laps around the room, the floor looked distinctly more vibrant, and the grout was ready for the next part of the process, free of dirt or soap residue.

During the next part of the process, our team applied ColorSeal to all the grout lines. We gradually restored the grout's original appearance, using the perfect shade to suit the ceramic's color. On top of being available in multiple shades, our flagship sealant also provides maximum protection against external elements, including grime, grease, mud, soap residue, and mold. It's the perfect solution to simplify the maintenance of high-traffic surfaces for weeks and even months on end.

We called the owner back into the kitchen as soon as we were done buffing the floor. She was thrilled with the result, praising our skills and marveling at the grout's beauty. Now, nothing drew attention away from the tiles' rich design, and the client couldn't be happier.

Before the end of our visit, our techs answered her questions about hard surface maintenance and this gave us the perfect chance to share some useful tips along the way. We explained that grout can keep its structural integrity for a long time, but that doesn't diminish the harm caused by soap-based products. By contrast, pH-neutral formulas like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner represent the most reliable solution to preserve your floors. Our product's deep cleaning effect works against soap, grease, soil, mold, mildew, and more. It also provides all its benefits without chipping away at the sealant, so you have the best combination to protect your residential surfaces against the worst effects of wear and tear.

Another important recommendation: steel wools and other abrasive tools leave ceramic tile surfaces more vulnerable without really doing a thorough job of cleaning the dirt. In these cases, either a fresh towel, a mop, or a terry cloth is the best way to both save time and get the desired result. You can spread the cleaning product evenly across the entire surface and remove all the grime without scratching the tiles by mistake.

Finally, good indoor ventilation is key to making our restoration results last longer. If any part of the kitchen feels damp, it's important to open the windows and doors so it can get more fresh air throughout the day. Our specialists shared all these pointers with the clients and ended the appointment with the reassurance that Sir Grout Manhattan would always be available if she needed to revamp any other part of the house.
