Another common problem with grout lines is stains. Grout is made of sand and since it is porous (more porous than ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone), dirt and impurities are easily absorbed. In many cases, when someone mops the floor, the tile gets cleaner than the grout lines, due to the level of the grout lines and its texture.
A good way to prevent stains on grout lines is to clean the grout every 2 to 3 months with a nylon brush and an alkaline-based cleaner. Sealing the grout lines is also important, but it must be sealed every 1 to 2 years to best prevent stains.
When you deep clean grout lines, the results may vary depending on what substances the grout was exposed to. If it was not cleaned or sealed for years, it will most likely have permanent discoloration from the stains. When cleaned, this type of grout will look better, but not have a consistent look.
An easy way to make your grout lines look new again is by applying a colorant and sealer product which will not only make the grout look new, but also prevent stains in the future. This product gives you the opportunity to choose any color for your grout lines, you can change the color without removing and re-grouting. Another option is to remove the grout from the stained area and replace it with new grout. The problem with this method is that the new grout will look different from the rest of the floor. Even if the same color is used as the rest of the floor, the new grout will look better than the old grout.
