Over the years grout in their bathroom had discoloured and they couldn't get it clean themselves. Soaps and shampoos will leave a coat of scum on tiles and grout if you don't rinse the walls and floor after every shower. Over time it will build up and it will be a problem, specially for the grout if it's not sealed properly. From Porcelain tiles it's fairly easy to clean the soap scum off but when it's not cleaned, it will build up and make tiles slippery.
For cleaning the porcelain
shower room tiles and grout I used acid based grout cleaner, which was left to dwell in for couple of minutes and then scrubbed with a grout brush. On few areas we had to do 2 applications.
When Grout was all cleaned up, it was left to dry till the mouldy silicone sealant was removed. After the silicone was removed, it was important to make sure all the grout was completely dry for grout colouring. So I used our damp tester and dried out all areas with damp using the heat gun.
All cleaning done, I started to recolour the grout. We agreed on the grout colour with customer beforehand.
For grout re-colouring we always use epoxy based colorants. Grout colourant is a 2 in 1 product, it will rejuvenate and seal the grout leaving a really nice finish. It's also much easier maintenance after the application. I applied the colourant on the grout lines and wiped off the bits that got on tiles.
Once the grout colouring was done, I applied a high quality mould resistant silicone sealant all around the wet room, which gave a really nice and clean look.
Customer was very happy with the work and said now showers are enjoyable again!
