How to Restore Dingy Tile Grout to its Original Clean Appearance

18Comments

very informative but my kitchen tile floor is not but 3-4 years old, looks dingy in some areas of floor, have tried everything to clean even using a toothbrush, have found nothing that works, guess it due to being so porous, Was sealed when installed, at a loss of what to do.

There are many blogs that state you must remove a substantial amount of grout (2/3's deep), not just a scraping of the surface grout, before refilling with a new mix of grout?

I am a sixty eight year old woman who followed your clear and informative instructions and am really pleased with the results. Thanks!

In your description of the Marshaltown grout cutter, I'm sure you meant to say that the tool was sturdy, not study?

My tile guy mixed the grout sealer in with the grout to eliminate the tedious process of sealing. It sounded like a good idea. I am just curious as to how effective it is.

I saw a demonstration on television about a product that you apply to the grout lines and it cleans, disinfects and seals the grout without having to worry about the tile. Could you do a demonstration on that product. I think it would be easier than removing the top part of the old grout.

Great video, also instead of the color grout that is there now. this is a good time to change the grout color if you always wanted a different color

How about when tile is porous as many new tiles are? As with a smooth surface as in the demo, its easy to wipe clean, however porous tile is not?

Great video! The last advice given to me, was from the tile installer. He said to clean the grout with acid. I much prefer the grout saw and excelent instructions.

Excellent video! I'm interviewing people to clean or replace the grout in our kitchen and dining room. Some want to clean it. Some want to replace it. Am trying to get as much knowledge of the subject as I can so I hire the right person to do the job. Wish me luck!

Helpful video! Will this also work on grout that was mixed w/ acrylic when installed?

Very informative how-to video. Does this same process work on floor tile grout? I've been trying to get the grout in my house to look new again and anything I've tried has come up short. Thanks for your help.

Excellent video! I've been purchasing cleaning products and spending so much time cleaning the tiles but with no luck. This seems very easy and i just need to do it one time. Now I get to spend my times on other projects rather than just cleaning. Thank you. Denny.
