Our Tile and Grout Cleaners Provided the Ultimate Makeover To Revive This Shower in Mount Pleasant

July 03, 2025

No matter how hard you try to prevent the deterioration of your shower surfaces, you'll still see the effects of moisture buildup if you don't use the right cleaners to counter the issue. A homeowner in Mount Pleasant felt like he'd lost all control of his cleaning routine. He'd used many products to stop the spread of mold in his shower, but the stall still looked soiled beyond recognition, and he was overwhelmed by the amount of dirt on the grout.


His stress only got worse as the horizontal seams started to fall apart, making way for sediments and stale water. It was clear that this problem went beyond what he could expect from regular cleaners, so the owner went online looking for a different solution. There, he read a lot about Sir Grout Charleston, both on our website and social media, so he decided to contact our tile and grout cleaners in Mount Pleasant to see if we could give him some answers about what to do.

Following the owner's request via the website's contact form, our specialists visited his house later that week to inspect the shower stall. We observed every inch of the shower, taking count of all the areas that needed repairs and testing our non-toxic cleaner on some of the worst stains. Since cement-based grout is particularly vulnerable to hard water, we knew that sealing the grout on the walls was the only way to keep the mold from getting stuck to the surface later on.

Meanwhile, most of the damage was located on the floor, which is why our crew offered to regrout this part of the shower once we were done cleaning the entire shower stall. We described the process to the client, and he evaluated our no-obligation quote before agreeing to our plan.

At the owner's convenience, our experts returned to his house with all the necessary equipment for the restoration. When everything was in place, we soaked all shower surfaces with a pH-neutral cleaner. This product works quickly, detaching all traces of mold, mildew, and efflorescence from the grout and tiles. Thanks to its deep cleaning effect, we eliminated the dirt on all sides of the shower, including the calcium residue on the floor. Then, our crew steam cleaned the shower stall and got ready to work on the grout.

We applied ColorSeal to revamp the grout on the walls, making sure that all the lines matched the white ceramic. Available in multiple colors, Sir Grout's flagship sealant keeps the porous surface from absorbing liquids and external elements, so even shower grout can stay spotless for a long time.

The corner joints needed more work, so our specialists removed the old caulk that had become jagged over time. Then, we installed epoxy grout on all the grout lines on the floor and reinforced the seams accordingly. Resistant to water, mold, mildew, and wear and tear, this epoxy grout provides the best protection to avoid structural damage.

After sealing all the tiles to match the grout's durability, our experts let the client assess the result. He was delighted by what he saw. The grout had a uniform color that made the shower look clean and hygienic once again. The owner praised our expertise and promised to recommend our services to everyone in Mount Pleasant.

At the end of the appointment, our experts took a moment to give out some additional advice. We understood the homeowner's concerns over maintenance, so the first recommendation was to choose pH-neutral cleaners over bleach and chemical-based products. Aside from slight variations in their formula, most cleaners cause the same type of damage: they cause discoloration, open the grout pores, and even contaminate your bathroom with toxic fumes.

As our crew explained, products like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner are much more thorough when removing dirt and mineral residue. Our cleaner is unique because it permeates grout and tile surfaces without triggering damage or trapping the dirt on the pores. Because our product is enough to get the dirt loose, homeowners don't need to mix different formulas to get rid of the stains, and this helps create a safer environment for people and pets.

In addition, we recommended using a towel or a terry cloth to scrap off the dirt without damaging the tiles. The right tools can bring better results in less time, so homeowners don't even need to make huge changes to their cleaning routines. Luckily, the bathroom boasted a good ventilation system, so our techs just warned the client against leaving any pools of stale water sitting around the shower for too long, stating that reduced dampness means less risk of mold and mildew.
