A Tile Floor in Noblesville Regained Its Shine Thanks to Our Tile Cleaning Service

August 19, 2025

A homeowner in Noblesville had grown tired of battling soap scum and grime on her shower floor. The once-sparkling tile had taken on a dull, cloudy appearance, and the white grout lines had turned a shade of gray that no amount of scrubbing could fix. She tried everything from specialty tile sprays to homemade vinegar solutions, but the buildup always returned.


Determined to find a real solution, she looked online and found our Noblesville tile cleaning service. After reading a few success stories, she reached out to Sir Grout Indianapolis for a free in-home consultation.

We scheduled her appointment at her convenience, and our crew arrived promptly on time in a Sir Grout vehicle, wearing branded uniforms, and ready to inspect the surface. At first glance, the problem seemed cosmetic, but a closer look revealed layers of soap residue, hard water deposits, and embedded grime that had accumulated over time. The textured tiles on the shower floor were especially prone to trapping dirt, while the grout had become porous from years of exposure to moisture and harsh products.

We explained to the homeowner that traditional cleaning products, especially those with acidic or abrasive ingredients, can worsen the problem by degrading the seal on grout and etching the tile surface. The buildup she saw wasn't just dirt but also leftover product residue that had hardened over time. We recommended a deep tile and grout cleaning using our professional equipment, followed by a protective sealant to help maintain the results. She was relieved she didn't have to replace her shower floor and booked the service immediately.

Our team returned the next day and began protecting the surrounding surfaces before applying our pH-neutral cleaner, specially formulated to break down grime without harming tile or grout. We used a high-speed scrubber to agitate the cleaner and dislodge the buildup from every surface, paying special attention to the corners and grout lines. Once the dirt was loosened, we extracted it with our wet vacuum system, leaving the shower floor visibly cleaner.

We used a vapor steam cleaner to remove any remaining residue and mineral deposits that penetrated deep into the tile and grout. The steam cleaned and sanitized the area, eliminating hidden bacteria and mildew without the need for harsh chemicals. The transformation was already apparent—tiles looked brighter, and the original grout color was finally visible again.

We applied a clear protective sealant to the grout lines as a final step. This sealant acts as a barrier against moisture, soap scum, and everyday wear, making future maintenance significantly easier. The homeowner chose a natural finish to preserve her shower's clean, classic look. Once everything was dry and polished, we gave the surface one final inspection before wrapping up the job.

The homeowner was amazed by the results. Her shower floor looked brand new—clean, bright, and refreshed. She mentioned that it hadn't looked this good since it was first installed and thanked us for the time and care we put into the restoration. Most importantly, she was happy to have found a lasting solution instead of another temporary fix.

Before we left, we shared a few maintenance tips to help her preserve the results. We recommended using our Natural Hard Surface Cleaner for regular upkeep, as it's designed specifically for tile and grout and won't leave behind sticky residue. We also suggested wiping down the shower floor after each use to reduce water spots and discourage mildew.

We advised her to avoid vinegar, bleach, and other acidic cleaners, which can erode grout and damage the tile over time. Finally, we encouraged her to keep an eye on the grout lines—if they ever start absorbing water or looking uneven again, it might be time for a reseal.
