White Grout Getting Dirty

[danny.mac]

My sister has just had her kitchen re-done and the floor tiling has been grouted white which is starting to look dirty no mater how much she cleans it.

Can i get some Lithofin grout cleaner and then seal with stainstop W to keep the grout looking nice and white and easily cleaned?

Probably not what you want to hear, but most fitters won't advise white grout on floors for this exact reason, if possibe rake it all out and regrout with a light grey, this will still be light in appearance but not show the dirt as much, white epoxy grout is the only white grout i've ever used on a floor and that can be cleaned, but is still high maintenance and not advisable for a high traffic area such as a kitchen

Try Aqua mix grout colorant, this will be perfect for this job..check it out on www.************** one of the forums sponsors.

I presume a bog standard household cleaner such as flash.

When light grouts are used and a customer just goes ahead and mopps it. this can push muck into the joints wet..

It is wise to hoover first and then mop with little water and not soak it.. A micro fibre mop head is advisable IMO and is what i recommend to customers floors i tile..

Grout sealers can help but again not 100% at keeping surface muck out that gets washed in..

Hope that helps a bit..
