new grout

what is the best way to keep it clean...the old grout was so bad off we didn't even try

Re: new grout

  • Get a good grout sealer and apply it right away, before it gets dirty. That's the best thing you can do. Other than that just clean regularly.

    Properly sealed grout is easy to keep clean.

    The reason grout is so gross is because a lot of people either don't bother sealing it, don't realize that the contractor didn't do it for them (grout has to seal 24-48 hours before sealing so they'd have to make a special trip back) or don't keep on top of re-applying every couple years.

  • ditto pp, seal it and keep it up.  We didn't realize ours wasn't sealed when we built, so we sealed, but it still gets nasty as the foot oils seep in - today I used soft scrub with bleach and it's like a new bathroom - tomorrow will probably be sealing day while the hubs is at work.  What we really need to find is a seal that you can use on the tile too and not just grout (our neighbors had that kind I think, made it really easy!)
