How do I repair the grout on my kitchen ceramic tile floor?
When we moved in this house, my husband put down terra cotta colored tile with dark brown grout. He never did it before and must have made a mistake. Plus he never got around to sealing it. Now in some areas the grout has turned a much lighter color. Does anyone know what we can do to return those areas to a dark brown. Thanks!
Yes I know, its very easy. Purchase a tool called a grout saw in Lowe's, Home Depot or your local Tile Distributor. Its not really a saw but rather an tool with a handle and a ruff surface at the end. Some grout saws have two different blades at the end, you can keep them together and then reverse the blades after several applications. Go back and forth slowly between the tiles to remove the old or damage grout. Go down as much as you can but you do not need to remove all the grout, just most of it. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove excess loose grout. Mix the new grout and apply onto your tiled floor. Clean up good removing grout stains from the tiles itself. Let dry for 24 hours, do not walk on floor. Purchase the smallest amount of a good sealer (spend the money, its much better that the cheaper one) and apply the way the bottle tells you to. Let dry another 24 hours. Problem solved. You can go onto my wet site for detail info.
