Meet the Women Behind Mrs. Grout in Brooksville

Many companies offer grout restoration, but few do it exclusively, and even fewer color seal for that brand-new look. Our focus on this one aspect of home management allows us to be the standout in the communities we live and work in. When showers, floors, or back splashes are dirty and dingy from old grout, we make them like new again.


You already know that our tile restoring, coloring, and sealing process brings tired old spaces back to life. What you may not know is that our work brings us alive, too. Our teams are special, and we love our work. That spirit starts right here with our team at headquarters, where every member of our crew shares the same care, pride, and energy that define Mrs. Grout.

Lisa Council

Owner/Operator

Lisa started Mrs. Grout with a simple idea: provide professional grout cleaning that provides a deep clean that lasts for years.

With a background in franchise development, Lisa began Mrs. Grout with the intention of creating a sustainable business model that can be replicated in suburban areas over and over again.

But Lisa also had a larger goal in mind. She wanted to change perceptions about what women can do for work, one grout cleaning, staining, or repair at a time.

Mrs. Grout is now not only woman-owned but also women-led. Working with Mrs. Grout gives Lisa and her team a sense of freedom and power, both physically and mentally. It’s an incredible experience from what seems like a minor household task to so many people!

Where It All Began—The Mrs. Grout Story

Lisa Council started Mrs. Grout with a neighborly mission: to give Central Florida families floors they could be proud of—clean, bright, and built to last. As a longtime realtor, she’d seen how spotless grout and tile could lift a home’s value and spirit. But after hiring a grout-sealing company for her mother’s house and watching the shine fade quickly, Lisa knew families deserved better. She rolled up her sleeves and looked for every method she could find. After plenty of trial and error, she discovered the 7-Step Process that sets Mrs. Grout apart—a system that keeps grout looking fresh for years.


In those early days, Lisa’s crew looked like most others—young guys ready to tackle tough jobs. Then Bonita walked in. A mother of grown kids and a seasoned professional looking for part-time work, she brought a quiet confidence that changed everything. Lisa worried the demanding labor might drive her away, but Bonita proved unstoppable. Her care and precision turned every job into a “WOW!” moment, and soon, clients were sending their friends to Mrs. Grout.

 
Bonita reminded Lisa of Rosie the Riveter—strong, steady, and proud of her craft. She showed that the real strength behind beautiful floors isn’t muscle. It’s heart, care, and pride in a job well done. Those qualities in Bonita, well-aligned with Lisa’s mission, became the standard at Mrs. Grout, and we encourage them in every woman who has joined the team since.


Today, Mrs. Grout is women-owned, women-led, and powered by teams who treat every home like their own. With Mrs. Grout headquartered in Brooksville, Lisa carries the same spirit with her as when she first began the business, as well as the belief that the best person for this job has always been a woman who cares.
