Grout cleaning

I'm new here, but have read alot of great info so far. I have a big problem. I had a wine bottle actually explode in my wine rack yesterday and had a good amount of plum wine all over my kitchen floor. By the time i got home from work, it had dried to a sticky consistency on the tile and grout. I got the tile clean, but the grout is much darker even though i had sealed it. Any ideas to get this clean?

Thanks in advance.

Hi JWM, welcome.

Sure do.

What kind of tile do you have? If possible, a grout stain would be the best way to go about it.

If a stain doesn’t sound like your cup of tea, you will have to poultice it out. Hydrogen Peroxide poultice. Might have to kick the peroxide with ammonia. It works well, but takes a long time, especially on little joints.
