    Default expanding foam and yellow grout

    Hi Guys,

    I had a customer phone me for advice she told me she had her bathroom done and after 2 weeks the grout started to go yellow
    The people who did it said it was because she smoked in the kitchen which has 3 doors between the bathroom, any ideas why grout would turn yellow after 2 weeks?
    Also can you use expanding foam between window frames and walls, what i mean is will it contract and expand with the temperture after its set?

    Cheers

    Paul

    Yep, bleach can burn white grout, nice and bright white and then goes yellow.
