Miss Peregrine Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 We just tiled the kitchen floor. The grout looks nothing like it was supposed to. It has so much haze on it it looks off-white! :glare: We had picked a shade of brown. From poking around I see that the way DH cleaned up after is probably why it did that. It IS just grout after all and certainly not a huge deal in the scheme of things but it looks terrible... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2legomaniacs Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Maybe just don't clean it very well and it will be brown in no time;) Sorry! It is frustrating to have that happen. I hope it darkens up for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKS Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 We got our grout looking nice and brown by spilling lots of coffee! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Peregrine Posted May 15, 2008 Author Share Posted May 15, 2008 Maybe just don't clean it very well and it will be brown in no time LOL, That is what I told DH. With 4 kids, probably won't take long. We got our grout looking nice and brown by spilling lots of coffee! Drat! I wish I liked coffee. That would work.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraceyS/FL Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Did you seal it? You should be able to use an acid grout cleaner on it and get it the right color. Easy Peasy - trip to Home Depot, get a good grout brush too. Although my favorite grout cleaner/acid was from Color Tile. I could go from dark brown to the light terracotta in just a few minutes :ROFL: I hate my grout (and crooked tile)- i can attest that in 4 years of NOT scrubbing it it will be dark :D Someday, i'll take a hammer to it!
