A Kitchen Floor in Greenville Got a Full Makeover Thanks to Our Grout Recoloring Crew

September 30, 2025

If you want to show off the beauty of your kitchen surfaces, you must know how to deal with a reasonably common issue: grout discoloration and embedded dirt between the tiles. It's impossible to avoid external factors like foot traffic, so the best approach is to protect the porous surface so it doesn't lose color over time. A homeowner in Greenville knew what she needed to do when the grout of her kitchen floor stopped enhancing the rest of the ceramic surface.


Regular cleaners could only be trusted with a fraction of the dirt that landed on the floor, and they did nothing to improve the grout's color. The homeowner didn't waste time trying new products and, instead, put all her attention into finding a reliable grout recoloring service in Greenville. Her decision paid off almost immediately when she found Sir Grout of New Castle County at the top of her online search results. After reading through many of our success stories, the owner visited our website and filled out the contact form.

Our team arrived at her house on the agreed-upon date for an in-home evaluation, a few days after she contacted us. As the client told us before the inspection, the tiles looked clean, but the floor didn't draw the eye the way it used to in the past. After losing most of its sealant, the grout had taken a dull brown color, and the problem was worsened by its exposure to soap-based cleaners. Our specialists checked all the grout lines for signs of deeper damage, but the discoloration was the biggest problem to address. So, we described the restoration plan for the client at the end of the evaluation.

First, we needed to use Sir Grout's professional equipment to remove the embedded dirt on the porous surface. Our experts also offered to recolor the grout with Sir Grout's flagship sealant since there was no better way to stop the problem from happening again. Grout discoloration is common in high-traffic areas, so homeowners need something other than regular cleaners to keep the dirt at bay. A date was set for the restoration, and we promised to complete the job during our next visit, to the client's relief.

The appointed date arrived later that week, and our specialists were back at the house early that morning, getting ready to clean the kitchen floor. We soaked the surface with a non-toxic cleaner and removed the embedded dirt with a high-speed scrubbing machine. Traces of soil and grime were on the ceramic's pitted surface, so we paid special attention to avoid leaving any residue behind.

Then, our techs used our acrylic-based ColorSeal to recolor the grout according to the client's specifications. This powerful sealant provides long-term protection against external agents like mold, mildew, water, grime, grease, and more. It keeps all these elements away from the grout pores so homeowners can preserve their natural color for much longer without constantly worrying about the damage caused by spills and foot traffic.

The result was a gorgeous-looking floor, with the white grout making the surface look much more vibrant. When the homeowner walked into the kitchen, she loved the result and promised to recommend our services to all her friends and relatives while marveling at the grout's new color.

Now, we will share the most essential tips to improve the maintenance of high-traffic surfaces. As our experts told the client, foot traffic isn't the only cause of discoloration, which is why our crew always starts by recommending pH-neutral formulas like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Our product is the perfect solution to upgrade a household's cleaning routine because it removes more dirt quickly. There's no need to mix our cleaner with other solutions because it's compelling enough to give you the desired result, even when working on large surfaces where spills and shoe prints are everyday. It's also free of harsh ingredients that could cause corrosion or toxic fumes, so you don't have to worry about the risks of using our product around other household members.

Our specialists also stressed the importance of avoiding abrasive tools when scrubbing porous surfaces like tile and cement-based grout. To prevent damage, scratches, or discoloration, the safest approach is to combine pH-neutral cleaners with a mop, a towel, or a terry cloth. You'll remove all the dirt that's trapped between the tiles without causing any marks on the ceramic.

We left the client with a general reminder to monitor the kitchen's ventilation to prevent hygienic issues like mold or mildew. If a kitchen doesn't get enough fresh air during the day, any leftover traces of water or grease can lead to deeper stains, not to mention pests inside your living spaces. Open the windows for at least a few hours and wipe out any leftover dampness as soon as you see it.
