Hi guys
We still haven't moved into our new house but I had a question re: our grout.
When the tiler was doing our tiling we paid him $800 cash to seal all the grout for the wall and floor tiles in our wet areas (bathroom, ensuite, showers, bath, powder room, toilets and laundry)
Anyway I never actually saw him do it because I wasn't on site, but from when he was there to when he left I didn't notice any difference in the appearance of the grout after sealing.
Now the tiles in our laundry were quite dirty due to someone spilling something or other on them, I went and cleaned it up today and notice that the brownish colour had gotten into our tile grout (which is white or an off white colour) I mopped the tiles and they came up like new but the discolouration of the gout remained
I would have thought with grout sealing it would clean off easily. Note I didn't get down on my hands and knees and scrub it, but didn't think I should have to if it were in fact sealed.
I'm now worried the tiler didn't even do it like he said! How can I know for sure?
The grout feels chalky when I rub it, I would have thought it would be smooth if it had been sealed??
Any other ideas?
