A Tile Floor in Deland Got a Full Overhaul from Our Grout Sealing Specialists

August 14, 2025

We all love to see a clean, glowing floor, but getting there can be a hassle. Regular cleaners often fail to remove all the dirt, and their ingredients can go as far as triggering discoloration on the surface. The first sign of trouble usually appears on the grout, as shown by the state of this kitchen floor in Deland. In a few short weeks, the grout acquired a dull yellow color that was very unflattering, mainly because its color was supposed to complement the ceramic tiles.


The owner was disappointed in all the cleaners she'd used in the past, so she asked a professional opinion before attempting anything else on the floor. She went online looking for grout sealing services in Deland and found Sir Grout Volusia at the top of her search results. From there, she perused our user-friendly website and read multiple reviews until she finally decided to schedule an appointment via the website's contact form.

On the agreed-upon day, our experts arrived at her house, and she immediately took us to the kitchen area. We carefully evaluated the kitchen floor, assessing the discoloration on the grout lines and checking the state of the tiles. The floor retained some of its unique beauty, but the yellowed grout overshadowed the tiles' elegance, making the surface dull and forgettable. When the client asked about the potential effect of chemical-based cleaners, our specialists confirmed all her suspicions.

Basically, these products trap dirt and other external elements under a soapy film that gradually alters the natural appearance of tile and grout surfaces. Their harsh ingredients can corrode the grout and even prompt the appearance of cracks when combined with daily wear and tear, so it's no wonder that they managed to weaken the sealant's protection. Our techs quickly ruled out the possibility of lasting damage to the client's kitchen floor. We gave a step-by-step summary of the process after completing the inspection, and the client immediately accepted our offer to return later that week for the job.

After a couple of days, our specialists returned to the house at her convenience to start working on the kitchen floor. We began by deep cleaning the surface with a pH-neutral cleaner and a high-speed scrubbing machine, working through all the embedded dirt to ensure the grout was spotless before sealing.

When it was time to revamp the grout, we used our signature ColorSeal, recoloring all the lines to match the cream-colored tiles. The effect not only added uniformity to the floor's layout but also highlighted the black tiles at the center. As shown by the result, our acrylic-based sealant is the perfect solution to prevent the accumulation of dirt on high-traffic surfaces like a busy kitchen area. It wards off water, food residue, grime, mold, etc., so you can remove the dirt much more effectively without leaving any residue on the grout.

With this, our experts completed another successful restoration. After buffing the floor for the last time, we showed the result to the client, and she was delighted by what she saw. The process made the kitchen look much more welcoming, and the grout stood out without clashing against the tiles' color. Thankful for our services, the homeowner and her family promised to recommend our services to more people in Deland.

Before leaving the client's house, our specialists shared some additional cleaning tips, and she eagerly noted our recommendations. As we shared during our visit, most over-the-counter products don't have the cleaning power to keep high-traffic surfaces looking spotless, not to mention all the harmful side effects. That's why we always recommend trying pH-neutral formulas like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Our product is the ideal solution to keep an effective cleaning routine without being overwhelmed by the effects of foot traffic, spills, and wear and tear. It removes all traces of dirt, and its permeating effect doesn't weaken the sealant's grout protection. Its composition also makes it ideal for residential spaces because there are no risks of contamination caused by toxic fumes.

Our crew also recommended avoiding steel wools and other abrasive tools since even mild scrubbing can leave scratch marks on the surface. A mop, a towel, or a terry cloth will do the job more effectively while helping you preserve ceramic surfaces for much longer.

Lastly, we always remind clients to check the air quality in indoor spaces to prevent moisture buildup before it starts affecting the grout. With this in mind, we told the homeowner to occasionally open the windows and doors to boost the circulation of fresh air in different parts of the house.
