Our Stone Cleaning Professionals Restore This Slate Floor in Charlotte

March 12, 2024

When dirt and liquids that fall into grout lines are not taken care of, unsightly and challenging-to-remove stains develop, making the surfaces appear dirty even after routine cleaning. These stains combine with mold and mildew, creating even more issues. Although using conventional cleaning methods may not be effective, fixing this issue is a challenging process. Sir Grout Charlotte has the knowledge necessary to fix these irregularities and restore any hard surfaces.


We received a call from a homeowner who couldn't bear the state of her slate floor. She had been struggling with the maintenance for some time, using different over-the-counter cleaners to remove the stains. Unfortunately, nothing appeared to work, so she turned to a friend for advice. Her friend had previously hired our services, and he immediately recommended our stone cleaning services in Charlotte, NC. He gave her our number and told her to call us. She called and gave us the details. The homeowner accepted a free in-home consultation to assess the state of her floor.

We went to the homeowner's house to assess the surface and offer an effective solution. After the introductions, we started the consultation. We immediately noticed the soiled grout lines on the floor. Additionally, the slate tiles were not in good shape. We informed the owner that the surface's state was probably due to poor maintenance. The surface was further degraded by utilizing harsh detergents and ineffective cleaning techniques. We looked closer and saw that the grout lines needed to be sealed. Unsealed grout can deteriorate as a result of exposure to water, dirt, dust, and other external impurities. After the inspection, the homeowner concluded that the floor needed to be maintained by a professional.

We went back after the scheduled appointment to restore the slate surface. With our special stone-safe cleaner and a high-speed scrubber, we scrubbed the surface before beginning our thorough stone cleaning procedure. Since our product is soap-free and pH-neutral, it won't damage the stone. The dirt was loosened by our cleaning, and it was removed by our equipment. We then steam-cleaned the area to remove any dirt that had managed to stick.

We continued the sealing process after cleaning the surface. We applied Sir Grout's ColorSeal and tile sealer to guarantee long-lasting results. Our top-of-the-line sealer offers unparalleled protection and many advantages. It wards off mud, grime, and other stains, reducing fading and structural harm. Homeowners can select the sealer's color they like the most.

When we were done, the floor looked fantastic, and the slate tiles had recovered their former allure. Our work's results astounded our client. She was happy with how fast and smooth the process had gone. She expressed her gratitude and promised to tell everyone about Sir Grout Charlotte.

House floors require routine maintenance. These surfaces experience a lot of daily use and can quickly degrade. The simplest way to keep these locations looking nice is to heed our recommendations. Only use soap-free cleaners, such as Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Our product leaves no residue and is made with top-notch materials. Additionally, it is non-toxic and pet-safe. Acidic chemicals and soap-based cleaners should be avoided. Natural stones can be harmed by these compounds, leading to dull spots, etching, and other problems. The stone must be kept dry as well. To clean the floors, use a towel or terry cloth. The tiles should not be used with steel wool or other abrasive materials since they risk being scratched.

Any hard surface can be totally restored by using our multi-step, outstanding stone cleaning process and our qualified professionals. As a top business in the hard surface restoration market, we have years of experience and hundreds of pleased clients.
