What type of grout can you clean?

If my grout is damaged or cracked should I have it cleaned first or repaired?
If your grout needs repaired, have it cleaned first. This will find any other loose or damaged grout and will reveal the original color of the grout so you know what color to match the new grout to.
What if my grout needs more than cleaning?
Sometimes grout becomes so badly stained or blotchy, no amount of cleaning will restore them to the desired color. You have 2 options: 1- Remove the old grout by mechanically grinding and removing at least 2/3 of the depth of the grout, then regrouting. This is tedious, dusty work and there is a high chance that the tile will be damaged in the process. 2- Recolor the grout. However we have seen the color begin to wear or chip off over time if the color does not adhere properly to the grout. Ensure the grout is clean and ready for recoloring before using this method.
