Our Stone Cleaning Techs Revived This Shower in New Smyrna Beach

June 30, 2026

Despite their popularity, regular cleaners can't do much to remove embedded dirt on natural stone surfaces, often creating needless stress in a person's cleaning routine. A couple in New Smyrna Beach, for instance, put a lot of effort into preserving the stone surfaces of their master shower, but for weeks, the results were disappointing. Grime kept darkening parts of the shower, and it was getting harder to remove the dirt that got stuck between the tiles.


Thankfully, the couple learned about our stone cleaning experts in New Smyrna Beach soon after making the decision to contact a professional. From all the information they found online, both on our website and from people on social media, Sir Grout Volusia had the means to restore the shower to its brand-new look, so the owners didn't hesitate when they learned about the option to request an in-home evaluation.p

Our crew went to the clients' home a few days later for the scheduled inspection. The couple recognized our standard uniform and greeted us at the doorway before inviting us into the house to explain the problem.


Upon inspecting the shower, we saw that grime and mold had soiled many parts of the stall, from the walls to a large portion of the floor. The dirt was embedded in the porous surface, so it couldn't be removed with regular cleaners and weekly scrubbing. Moreover, we explained that these products can make things harder for homeowners because they leave a residue that dries on the surface, causing discoloration, staining, and long-term deterioration.

After discussing the issues and sharing expert recommendations, we offered our grout cleaning service as the optimal solution to restore the surfaces. Our team also needed to do some repairs on the seams, so we offered to return at a later date with the necessary equipment for the job.

The couple felt very optimistic once we outlined the process for them. They assessed our no-obligation quote, thanked us for our assistance, and set a date for a second visit right away.

On the scheduled day, our techs returned to the clients' house for the restoration. The first step was cleaning the shower stall, so we used a stone-safe formula to loosen dirt on the walls and floor. We also used a 275-degree steam cleaner to remove all traces of mold on the floor and the seams.

It was time to address the damaged areas we found during the initial inspection. For this part, our specialists installed epoxy grout on the seams after removing the damaged caulk. This solution is resistant to water, mold, and other liquids, so you can stop worrying about getting any dampness behind the shower tiles.

Soon enough, all the repairs were complete, so we applied stone sealant on the shower to finish the process. This sealant is tailored to protect natural stone from discoloration, corrosion, and other forms of damage. It protects against soap scum, mold, mildew, and the effects of wear and tear, so it's much easier to keep your shower's good looks and the stone's natural color.

After adding the final touches, we invited our clients to see the results. Their excitement was evident as soon as they saw the shower stall; the stone looked spotless, and its warm color stood out like never before. The couple thanked us and promised to recommend our services to others facing similar concerns. They were also excited to write a positive review online to share their experience during the restoration.

At the end of the appointment, we shared some additional pointers to help protect the shower from future damage. Weekly cleaning is essential, but only if you use the right equipment. With this in mind, we always introduce Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner as the best option to simplify household chores without sacrificing the quality of the end result. Our pH-neutral formula is gentle on the surface and safe for everyone in the home. You can save time when cleaning bathroom surfaces because all the dirt is gone in minutes, so there's no need to mix our product with chemical-based solutions.

As our techs told the client, effective maintenance begins with clean water and fresh mop heads. If you rinse your tools in dirty water, you'll be dealing with more grime on your surfaces. Beyond that, always use non-abrasive tools to prevent scratches on natural stone surfaces, and make a habit of opening windows and doors to prevent mold growth.
