    Default Stained Grout

    Hi all,

    I have recently finished a big 60m floor in a new build about a month ago. I went back there yesterday and as a result of other trades and the floor being covered in hardboard there is now a lot of staining to the grout joints. I think it is a mixture of spillages muddy boots and staining from the hardboard.

    They have had a labourer go round and scrub it but it is still ver discoloured. I was thinking about either getting some heavy duty cleaner or some aquamix colourant. Just wanted to know what you think will be the best and easiest way to resolve this.

    Thanks for reading

    Ben

    Cheers, I will have a look at that. If anyone has used it would be good to hear the results.

    They are a glazed porc tile. No Sealing was needed.

    I've used grimex, but not for stained grout. I'd opt for the aquamix colourant.

    Cheers for that. Have you used the Aquamix Colourant? Is it a nightmare job or not too bad?
