Our Tile and Grout Cleaners Revamped Bathtub Walls in Myrtle Beach for a Spotless Finish

November 26, 2025

Keeping tile walls in pristine condition can be a challenge—especially in bathrooms, where moisture, soap residue, and constant use gradually dull their appearance. A homeowner in Myrtle Beach had been dealing with exactly that issue. The white grout on his bathtub walls had darkened over time, making the whole area look older and less inviting. Despite frequent cleaning, nothing seemed to make a lasting difference. He tried multiple store-bought products and scrubbed for hours, but the stubborn grime and discoloration kept coming back.


Frustrated, he decided to search online for professionals who could restore the look of his bathtub walls. That's when he found our Myrtle Beach tile and grout cleaners at Sir Grout Grand Strand. He browsed through our website, read testimonials from satisfied clients, and spent time exploring our before-and-after gallery. The results spoke for themselves—he could see that our team had handled projects similar to his with outstanding outcomes. Encouraged by what he saw, he filled out our online form to schedule a free in-home consultation.

When the scheduled day arrived, our crew showed up at his Myrtle Beach home in a Sir Grout-branded vehicle and wearing our standard uniforms—something we take pride in, as it reflects the professionalism our clients expect. We began our inspection by examining the bathtub's tile walls closely. The tiles were still in good shape, but the grout lines told another story. They were heavily soiled, especially around corners and joints where moisture tends to accumulate. We explained to the homeowner that over time, grout becomes porous and absorbs water, soap scum, and even residue from common household cleaners. Many of these products contain soap-based agents that leave a film behind, trapping more dirt and worsening discoloration.

After assessing the condition of the grout, we offered him a no-obligation quote and explained our plan for the restoration. Our process would involve a deep cleaning using pH-neutral products, followed by sealing to protect the grout from future staining. We assured him that this would not only restore the grout's white color but also make regular maintenance much easier. He was eager to move forward and scheduled the service right away.

On the appointed day, we began by masking and protecting surrounding areas to prevent splashing. Then we applied our specialized cleaner to the tile walls. This cleaner is pH-balanced and safe for both tile and grout, effectively removing embedded dirt without leaving any residue. Using a high-speed scrubber, we worked across each section of the wall, paying extra attention to corners and grout joints where buildup was heaviest. For particularly stubborn spots, we used a vapor steam cleaner to ensure every bit of grime was loosened and removed.

Once the tiles and grout were thoroughly cleaned, the difference was already visible. The walls looked brighter, and the grout lines were much closer to their original white color. The next step was sealing the grout to ensure lasting protection. We applied our exclusive ColorSeal—a high-quality, water-based sealer that not only restores grout color but also provides a strong protective layer against dirt, spills, and moisture. For this project, we used a pure white ColorSeal to match the grout's original tone, creating a crisp, fresh look across the entire bathtub area.

After the sealing process, we buffed the tiles to enhance their shine. The transformation was remarkable—the once-dull bathtub walls now looked clean and elegant again. The homeowner was thrilled when he saw the results. He mentioned how the tiles finally looked as good as when he first moved in and thanked our technicians for their professionalism and attention to detail. He even said he couldn't wait to show off the results to his guests.

Before wrapping up, we took some time to explain how to maintain the new look. We recommended cleaning regularly with a pH-neutral product like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner, which is designed to remove dirt effectively without harming the sealant or leaving sticky residues. We also advised against using bleach or acidic cleaners, as these can degrade grout and dull tiles over time. Lastly, we suggested keeping the bathroom well-ventilated after use to reduce moisture accumulation, helping the grout stay fresh and clean longer.

This project is a great example of how proper grout cleaning and sealing can completely change the look and feel of tiled areas—without needing to replace a single tile. Bathrooms in particular benefit from professional maintenance, as constant exposure to humidity makes grout vulnerable to discoloration and damage.
