A Slate Floor in Ridgeland Looks Incredible After Our Stone Cleaning Service

January 27, 2026

A couple in Ridgeland loved the layout of their laundry room floor, but they couldn't stop the floor's exposure to soap and other harmful elements. Knowing the risks, they both dedicated a lot of time each week to clean the slate surface since they knew that one stain was enough to ruin the effect created by the different-colored tiles. With all that said, the couple had noticed the floor's gradual deterioration, and they'd consistently increased their efforts while trying to avoid DIY methods.


They'd been working tirelessly for close to a month, and the floor didn't look any better. That's why the couple didn't waste any time when one of them heard about Sir Grout of the Lowcountry and our stone cleaning service in Ridgeland. They found our website online and read as much as they could about our stone restoration process, taking their time to admire the results in our picture gallery before giving us a call.

Following their request, our experts arrived to the house before the end of the week for the inspection. We exchanged greetings with the clients, and the couple explained the problem, listing all the products they'd tried in their attempts to clean the laundry room floor. It was easy to spot the issues on the slate surface; our techs saw several spots where soap had embedded into the slate tiles, particularly near the washing machine and around the corners.

During the inspection, we quickly confirmed that the grout was unsealed, so there was no protection against moisture, soap, and foot traffic. The grout's color had darkened because of this constant exposure to external elements, making the floor look soiled, even in areas where the couple had managed to get the dirt off the stone.

Our specialists explained that many of the cleaners that the couple had used in the past actually keep the dirt trapped under a foamy film. That's why the floor only looked worse despite the clients' frequent cleaning attempts. Luckily, there was no permanent damage to the stone, so we finished the evaluation with an offer to restore the grout and a no-obligation quote. Satisfied with our offer, the couple immediately asked us to return later for the floor's restoration.

So, we were back at the house on the scheduled date, a few days after the inspection. To remove all traces of grime and soap, our team started by deep cleaning the floor with a stone-safe formula and a high-speed scrubber. The embedded dirt got loose in minutes, so our techs had the floor looking spotless after several laps around the laundry room.

With the slate surface looking much more vibrant, it was time to recolor the grout. The clients wanted a light gray color for the grout lines, so we recolored all the lines accordingly with our flagship ColorSeal. Sir Grout's amazing sealant guarantees lasting results because it's designed to withstand hours of activity. It repels water, soap, mold, mildew, grime, and other external elements, so you can always expect a satisfying result at the end of your chores.

The restoration was almost complete. Our techs buffed the floor one last time to enhance the result before calling the owners back into the room. The result was everything they'd hoped for and more: all the colors looked better than they had in months, and the grout completed the look flawlessly. The couple was endlessly relieved after the stress of the past couple of weeks, so they immediately promised to recommend our work to more people in Ridgeland.

Near the end of our visit, our specialists went over some cleaning pointers to protect natural stone surfaces against discoloration and decay. The first recommendation was to stop using soap-based cleaners and to try pH-neutral products instead. Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner, for instance, combines all the advantages that make pH-neutral formulas so effective for the maintenance of slate and grout surfaces. Without releasing any toxic fumes into the air, our cleaner provides maximum effectiveness to eliminate embedded soil, grime, mold, soap, food residue, and more. It's the ideal option to improve your cleaning results in any part of the house because it helps you keep a gorgeous floor and a hygienic space all at once.

Our crew also recommended using a clean mop or a towel to clean large surfaces more effectively. These tools provide more precision when working through embedded dirt, so there's no chance of leaving any liquid residue on the porous surface. They also eliminate the chances of scratching the stone by mistake, unlike steel wools and other abrasive tools.

Lastly, we always recommend ensuring optimal ventilation in all parts of the house. Laundry rooms, kitchens, and bathrooms are more likely to get moldy because they're constantly exposed to moisture, which is why it never hurts to leave the windows open from time to time. Good indoor ventilation will help you counter any dampness and ensure safer conditions in other parts of the house.
