The Floor of an Atlanta Household Regained All Its Beauty Thanks to Our Stone Cleaning Crew

September 04, 2025

An Atlanta resident knew the importance of making the best first impression. That's why she dedicated so much time to the travertine surface of her entryway, working hard to make all the tiles shine at all times of the day. For years, her efforts had yielded the expected result, but eventually, the floor started to show the effects of wear and tear. Foot traffic and external elements left the stone looking worn, and its sheen got weaker as the weeks went by.


The homeowner started looking for a solution since she knew that the travertine was due for a polish. It only took a few minutes for her to find Sir Grout Atlanta, and she was immediately interested in our stone cleaning service in Atlanta. The owner marveled at the results in our picture gallery; she was relieved to confirm that our specialists had ample experience restoring travertine surfaces that resembled her floor. From there, a quick phone conversation with one of our agents was all she needed to secure an appointment.

On the scheduled date, our techs went to her home for an evaluation of the entryway floor. After exchanging greetings with the client, we took our time inspecting the travertine surface. It was obvious that the stone had lost much of its natural shine to soap and other abrasive ingredients, and we also noticed signs of etching on some of the tiles. All these factors resulted in a dull-looking floor and an underwhelming sight for any guests stepping into the house.

Having checked the floor for any signs of structural damage, our specialists concluded that the surface required a professional cleaning, followed by our honing and polishing services. The client agreed with this plan and set a new date for the restoration right after we completed the assessment.

Following her request, our crew returned to the house the next day with all the necessary equipment for the restoration. To start the process, we removed all the marks and embedded dirt with a non-toxic cleaner, letting the product sit on the travertine for a few minutes before we ran a high-speed scrubber across the entire floor.

Then, we readied three sets of diamond pads, each of them with a specific level of dirt. Our specialists honed the stone many times to address all the etch marks, gradually increasing the grit as we made progress on the surface. Soon, it was time to restore the travertine's natural glow, so our techs gave it a thorough polishing service. Using high-end powders, we made our way from the entryway to the living room area until all parts of the floor looked equally smooth.

Last but not least, we applied stone sealant to preserve its brand-new look. Our sealant protects natural stone surfaces from external elements and wear and tear, including the marks that usually appear after heavy foot traffic.

At this point, our experts called the client back into the room to look at the result, and she was visibly impressed by the floor's appearance. She praised our skills and admired the travertine's shine for several minutes, stating that her entryway finally resembled the rest of her home.

After thanking us for our services, the owner also asked for additional cleaning pointers. Our techs started by recommending pH-neutral cleaners to avoid the effect of harsh ingredients on the grout. Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner combines the right components to simplify your chores and improve the end result. It enhances the glow of natural stone surfaces with results that stay for days after you're done with your chores, all without subjecting you to the fumes you'd get from most store-bought cleaners. Our pH-neutral formula is the perfect solution to improve the maintenance of residential surfaces and preserve the beauty of your floors.

Next, our crew recommended using non-abrasive tools to avoid scratching the stone while working through the worst stains. The right products and tools are enough to remove any residue left by spills, soil, etc., so we stress the importance of using a mop, or a terry cloth.

The entryway received enough fresh air to counter the growth of mold, but we still reminded the client to check the ventilation in other parts of the house. Good air quality does a lot to keep moisture from affecting harder-to-reach surfaces while helping you keep a safe, hygienic environment. The client thanked our crew once again and promised to recommend our services to all the people she knew in the area.
