Our customer was worried about her showerarea, as it was discoloured and she couldn't get it cleaned herself anymore, so we were called out to see what can be done in her home in Chadderton , Oldham , Manchester. Chadderton is a diverse area, with farmland, industrial and commercial land use, parks, public buildings, and shopping areas. There is a strong sense of cultural and historic pride in the area. On arrival I explained the work process as it was pretty straight forward with this one. She liked what she heard and booked us in to do the cleaning and sealing work for her.
To clean this showercubicle wall tiles and grout I used our acidic cleaner which isconcentrated phosphoric acid and cleaner designed to penetrate below the surface to remove light grout smears (grout haze), mineral deposits, rust stains and efflorescence. This product is also effective for the removal of most hard water stains, lime deposits and soap scum.
i left the product on tiles and grout for couple of minutes and then followed by scrubbing tiles with scrubbing pad and grout with my grout brush. After all scrubbing the area got rinsed down with clear water and then dried out with a heat gun.
Once everything was clean and dry I removed the mouldy silicone with sharp knife and window scraper. It's not the most pleasant thing to do but it needs to be done. This was followed by drying out behind the silicone.
For sealing the grout lines I used impregnating grout sealer spray. It is a transparent solvent based sealer which helps to protect natural tiles and grout joints from every day spills and general wear and tear. The easy to use aerosol provides a protective barrier helping to prevent water marks, dirt and oil penetrating into the grout surface.
In total I applied two coats to make sure grout was properly sealed. After each time ceramic tiles got wiped with soft cotton cloth to remove any sealer residue left from the aerosol spray sealer.
Once grout was sealed it was time to apply silicone sealant around the shower area. For siliconing I used my regular high quality mould resistant white silicone. As always neat and fresh silicone sealant lines gave the shower area new look.
Our customer was extremely happy witht the work completed and couldn't thank us enough.
Before leaving I also gave her all the maintenance info which you can also find from here: https://www.qualitytilecare.co.uk/bathroom-tiles-and-grout-maintenance-tips
