Grout Stain - Restore or change grout color

Q How Should I clean color sealed grout? BACK TO TOP A Even color sealed grout needs to be cleaned periodically to prevent soil build-up. To minimize build-up, sweep, dust-mop or vacuum surfaces regularly to remove loose soil and dust. Damp mop your floor regularly with a neutral no-rinse floor cleaner. Don’t use plain water, it only removes water soluble dirt and may leave streaks. Neutral floor cleaners contain no acids, have a neutral pH, and will not affect existing sealers. If build-up does occur, apply a neutral floor cleaner to the area to be cleaned and let the cleaner dwell a couple minutes. Lightly scrub the grout lines with a soft nylon grout brush to loosen build-up, rinse with clean water and dry grout joints. Change your cleaning water often, most soil build-up is caused by mopping with dirty water.
