Our Stone Cleaning Techs Made This Floor in Harrison Shine Like Never Before

June 05, 2025

A homeowner in Harrison had very high standards when it came to her master bathroom. That's why she wasn't particularly impressed with the look of the bathroom floor, even as she managed to remove the dirt that made its way to the surface. Unfortunately, her usual approach didn't do much to make the marble tiles look shinier and smoother.


The owner knew that regular cleaners wouldn't be enough to make the floor shine like it used to, so she started looking for a professional stone cleaning service in Harrison. After reading many good things about Sir Grout Westchester on social media, it wasn't hard for her to reach our website, where she learned more about what we had to offer for the restoration of natural stone surfaces. Then, she gave us a call to ask for more information, and our friendly agent gladly cleared up all her doubts.

On the appointed date for the evaluation of her bathroom floor, our techs arrived at the house, and the owner recognized Sir Grout's logo on our uniform. She showed us the master bathroom and explained some of her issues with the large marble surface, starting with her failed attempts to make the floor shine. All in all, the floor was in good condition, but the tiles looked dull and forgettable. This is expected in high-traffic areas where we can't fully avoid the effects of wear and tear, but it's also worsened by constant exposure to chemical-based cleaners and acidic formulas.

We offered to use our own cleaning equipment on the floor and to conduct a thorough honing and polishing service. The inspection had revealed a series of etch marks on some of the tiles, so our services were essential to keep the damage from becoming more noticeable. Thankful for our offer, the owner agreed to our plan for the floor and asked if it was possible to complete the restoration the following day.

So, our techs returned to the house less than twenty-four hours later to work on the floor, carrying all the necessary equipment into the clients' master bathroom. When everything was ready, we carefully cleaned the floor with a stone-safe product while running a high-speed scrubbing machine around each of the marble tiles.

We made sure that there were no specks of dirt remaining under the counters and other hard-to-reach areas. Then, our specialists honed the surface with different sets of diamond pads. We increased the level of grit as all the impurities were eliminated from the stone and repeated the process until the entire floor had a nice matte finish. Then, we applied special polishing powders to fully restore its original glow.

For the last step, our team applied stone sealant to protect the tiles against the effects of wear and tear. With our sealant in place, there's no risk of embedded dirt on the marble's porous surface and you can go for much longer without seeing scratch marks on your floors.

The owner was delighted with the result, and she admired the floor for a long time while praising our stone restoration methods. She and her family also promised to recommend Sir Grout Westchester to all the people they knew in Harrison.

Before leaving the house, our techs shared some pointers with the client, stating that a few simple steps would successfully prevent the decay of natural stone surfaces. First, be sure to replace soap-based cleaners with pH-neutral formulas to avoid exposing the stone to harsh ingredients. Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner offers better results all around, no matter where you use it. It improves the appearance of high-traffic floors, showers, and kitchen surfaces without altering the stone's color and sheen. This means that homeowners don't need to worry about the corrosion of marble surfaces or the contamination caused by toxic fumes; our product doesn't need harsh ingredients to deliver the desired result.

pH-neutral cleaners are essential to keep the dirt from spreading around different parts of the house, but we also recommend using the right tools to remove any marks left by shoe prints, mold, or food residue. The best option is to scrub off these elements with a mop, a towel, or a terry cloth, so you can work on harder-to-reach surfaces without scratching the tiles. Likewise, remember to open the windows and doors to encourage more circulation of fresh air in indoor spaces. As our specialists told the client, a weekly cleaning routine with the right tools and a healthy dose of fresh air could do wonders to prevent damage to her stone floors.
