Hi it is I Ryan once again with some more questions. I renovated my bathroom and tiled in Bright white 4X4 tiles around the tub with white grout. And of course moved onto other things without sealing the grout. So now less then three months the grout is already turning yellowish around the bottom of the tub where the shower spray hits the walls. The tiles had there own spacers on the tiles so I just butted the tiles against each other the nused a non sanded grout that came premixed in a tub. How can I clean up the tiles and return the grout to original white, and Then what is the best shower sealer to buy up here in Alberta Canada. Say from Home Depot or Rona Revy?

Hi Ryan :)

Bad news :(

That premixed grout is junk. Nothing can be done to make it look good…and stay that way. At least guaranteed to stay looking good. Folks have used grout stains or colorants on it before. It looks fine, but I don’t know how long it will last in that environment.

I say regrout with the real stuff, but if that’s not in the cards, you can try to recolor. :)
