Our Crew Revamped a Shower in Colorado Springs With a Professional Stone Cleaning Process

July 10, 2025

Following grueling weeks of hard work, a homeowner in Colorado Springs had done all she could to revive her shower. Her main goal was to remove the embedded mold that soiled the stone surface, particularly the floor's travertine tiles, and the underside of the shower bench. Her efforts only showed that regular methods couldn't deliver the cleaning power she needed for the task. The owner needed the expertise of a stone cleaning company in Colorado Springs and she had the right place in mind.


She'd seen the results of our stone restoration process at a relative's house, and it matched the quality on display in our picture gallery. After visiting our website and learning more about Sir Grout Colorado Springs, the owner was ready to get in touch with us, since she knew that our methods wouldn't risk further damage to her shower's stone surface.

On the agreed-upon date, our experts went to her house for an in-home evaluation, wearing Sir Grout's logo on our uniform, as always. The homeowner recognized us right away and welcomed our crew into the house. During the assessment, our techs confirmed that a lot of water had seeped behind the tiles, on top of the mold that was embedded on the marble walls. Between that and the signs of decay on the seams, we knew that only a professional service could fully address the issues in the shower.

Our specialists explained that sealing the grout would be the most effective solution in the long run. We also needed to deep clean the shower with our professional equipment to eliminate all the embedded mold, reassuring the client that the restoration could be completed in a single session. She agreed with this plan and scheduled a new appointment after thanking us for our assistance.

The next day, our team returned to her house with all the necessary equipment. We quickly prepared the shower area and deep cleaned every surface to remove all traces of dirt, from the marble walls to the travertine on the floor. A 275-degree vapor steamer also helped the process, especially on the shower seams and other areas affected by mold and mildew. Next, we installed epoxy grout on the seams, carefully repairing all the damage on every corner. This waterproof mix brings the most powerful protection against soap residue and leaks because it doesn't have the drawbacks of cement-based grout. It's not porous and works as the perfect barrier to preserve a shower floor for years.

To preserve the grout on the walls, our specialists used Sir Grout's signature ColorSeal, an acrylic-based sealant that helps you keep the grout's uniform color. We applied sealant on every wall and each side of the shower bench until all the lines blended in with the stone, matching its elegant color perfectly. We also sealed the floor, and the result brought out the travertine's beauty. The owner took her time admiring the surface and thanked our specialists for doing such an outstanding job. She couldn't wait to show the result to her friends and neighbors in the area.

At the end of the appointment, our experts shared some tips to help the client's cleaning efforts. To prevent the damage caused by soap and chemical products, we recommend using only pH-neutral formulas like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Generic products harm natural stone over time, as well as other hard surfaces like tile and grout, namely by corroding the surface and opening the pores to moisture, minerals, dirt, etc. By contrast, our cleaner doesn't cause any negative side effects while improving maintenance all around. It removes embedded dirt more efficiently and doesn't release toxic fumes into your bathroom spaces, so it's the best option for residential spaces because there's no risk to people and pets.

Our techs also reminded the client that steel wools may scratch the stone, prompting serious structural issues as the marks spread across the tiles. The best way to remove residue is with a towel or a squeegee, as long as the tools are properly washed beforehand. Likewise, a damp environment will eventually show signs of decay, so we always remind clients to open the windows and doors in areas where mold is a constant issue.
