Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Apr 24, 2013 11:16 pm We have chosen some glossy tiles in the colour " Ivory " for our bathrooms. I cannot remember if a colour on the grout was discussed. I think I want a light grout but would this be too hard to keep clean ? Any thoughts or ideas are very welkome.

We are going for an ivory or light grey grout this time around. Make sure you deal your grout. You can get a spray on, but we found the paint on stuff, it is tedious, but works better. It doesn't stop the grout from getting dirty, but makes it easy to keep clean.

I think we will go for an off white grout , treat it and then just try to keep it as clean as possible as I dont like the look of grout darker than the tiles.

It cost a bit but it was well worth it as it simply wipes clean and it's still bright white in colour. I'll definitely seal the grout in the new house.
