3ringheathen 0 #2 February 28, 2004 Hydrogen peroxide works very well, but might be a bit tricky on vertical surfaces. On counters, you just let it sit for a few minutes...magic! Test in an inconspicuous place before putting it everywhere, but it's pretty mild and effective. Also, try scrubbing with plain old baking soda. If you manage to get it clean, go buy a grout sealer and apply it at least once a year. Those are trade secrets, so don't tell anyone.

Is this a great country or what? Great idea! For future refernce We started installing tile in our place, do you know how many diferent color's of grout there are. Then we started looking at the resturant's fast food places ect. Dark grey is very populer. R.I.P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VectorBoy 0 #5 February 28, 2004 The company that makes grout makes the color sticks, Custom is the name . I know they make about 50 different colors of tile grout but as far as the sticks I would have to assume its only in the most popular colors. Home depot carries about 5 and can special order others. I have used them myself with good results. But guess what, you can probably use paint designed for concrete. Either the stain or the elastemeric ( sp) paint to paint and seal really bad grout instead of redoing it. I would do this instead of suffering a big redo. Some people I know have several thousand square feet of tile and few of them really do the anual sealing required to keep it from perma staining. I will experiment with concrete paint in the future when its my turn to suffer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
