    Default Can I clean dirty grout?

    Hello everyone.

    I installed a new bathroom last year (with lots of help from you guys - Thx ) and tiled the floor using an ivory coloured grout.
    Unfortunately my roof leaked last week whilst I was on holiday and the grout has become discoloured (a brown rusty colour). Are there any products that can help me clean the grout, or do I need to re grout?

    As always any help appreciated.

    Regards

    Chris

    The grout might be stained..

    You can try a grout cleaner..

    And if it is stained then you can re-colour the grout..

    Many thanks gents.

    I'll give the grout cleaner a go first. If this fails I'll try a colourant.

    I take it I can purchase these products from most tile shops?

    Tile Giant you can get grout colorant, But Aqua mix you can get from Trade Tiler one of the sites sponsors...And Tile Giant are site sponsors too. If you go onto my web site you can see some more details about it.
