How to stop grout becoming discoloured on kitchen floor

[walki]

Hi, I have a problem with the grout in between our kitchen floor tiles, the tiles are beige and the grout is also beige. After my husband tiled the floor we religiously applied a liquid that we bought from the tile shop (which we suspect is probably Unibond)? in order to stop the grout discolouring due to dirt etc. After about 2 months the area in which I do most of the food prep is turning a different colour than the rest of the grout (dirty), I was the floor regularly but the discolouration still remains, I have thought of getting down on hands & knees and scrubbing it with bleach but we thought the protective liquid we bought was supposed to prevent this happening.

Can anyone help here please

Cheers

Sorry I just re-read this - I meant to say 'wash' the floor regularly.:lol:

Hi, the product we used is Fila Grout Protector 'stain protection - protects mould' bought from Topps Tiles

Hi and welcome...

Your grout will collect small amount of residue when mopping/cleaning the floor...

welcome!

So are you saying that this product (the one that is supposed to protect against staining) does not work and that it is a waste of money buying it?, none of the other grouted areas I have mopped have gone discoloured and I do vacuum it thoroughly before mopping.

By the way, can anyone tell me if it is Unibond as this is a lot cheaper to buy.

Same problem with beige polished porcelain tiles. Tile and grout Sealed by the tiler but grout still collects bits of dirt. Occasionaly we scrub the grout with a white cloth and our pH neutral cleaner. The missus is after getting a steam cleaner. Perhaps like this for example.

Will it work? Will it screw up my tiles and grout? Any advice please so I can avoid coming home and finding her just cracking on and doing it!
