Will this take the color out of my grout and turn the grout white?

It worked great for my apartment! The grout was white to begin with then went black from mildew. A few areas required re-applying, but in then end it looked like when I first moved into the place.

your grout is gray b/c you have been using soap on the floor which runs to the lowest point, i.e. grout which then becomes a magnet for dirt. your going to have to use a product to remove the soap in the grout, like nano scrub and then reseal the grout. never use soap

Interesting. I'm not having the same experience of many reviewers. My grout is in great shape with the exception of a few places. This steamer didn't do a thing. I haven't gotten it to clean much very well. I suspect I must not be using it correctly? Anyway, you will be well served to mix up a strong solution of water & oxygen bleach (Oxyclean or the like), be sure the crystals of the bleach have fully dissolved. Pour this mix over your moldy grout & let it sit for 30 minutes or so. Scrub & rinse. It should look much better--and is much easier than using this tool.

Depends if it is dirt or if the grout is stained. Won't lift staining. I use a coarser pad [not the usual terry-cloth].

Good question...so good that I don't have the answer. I will tell you this - there wasn't ONE word of exaggeration in my review..my grout was sparkling, like new white grout..there's the key word "white". My other bathroom has light tan grout. Zep got the stains up but did NOT BLEACH IT. since I'm only talking light tan, I would not use that as the green light to use it on your colored grout. I just looked at my bottle and there's a customer service line for questions like yours...I'm sure it's on their website too...Yeah, I know, you where hoping for "real world" results..well that can be you once you use Zepp then brag about your beautiful floors! Good luck &#128526;

I had read to simply use oxygen bleach so I mixed this product with water and nothing else. I had tried floor cleaners and bleaches but Bio Kleen restored the grout color to the original shade, based on tiles between the cabinets and fridge. Hope this helps you.

I don't think that it has any "bleaching" properties as would chlorine, but, I used it on a light gray grout that was darkened by dirt. it went back to the original light gray.

This can be used on discolored shower tile caulk. It is not a miracle, but with repeated use it will whiten your caulking. This is all I ever use it for. You can get direct application, with minimal effort.

I am not sure about this. You will have to check with the manufacturer. Grout Refresh is simply a grout paint to change the color of your grout or to make your grout uniform in color. I don't think it was intended for the use you describe.

I used it on brand new semi tanks for extra cleaning and it turned them white. Thank goodness I did a small area. White never came out. I trashed the bottle! That's my 2 cents!

Technically yes, but using cleaners or scrubbing it will remove the color and it will "contract". I DOn't recommend it. Try the chrome tiles instead.

this product works great. I have pale cream grout and it did fine. You may however try a small patch under something to make sure.

It doesn't seem to really scrube the grout as you would by hand. It might "clean" the grout if the grout dirt is loose enough for it to be sucked up, not scrubed out.

It does. The secret is to follow the directions and give it enough time. Best grout cleaner ever!

I bought it to get rid of mold stain on grout. It didn't do a thing. I haven't tried it on anything else.

I used bleach to clean the grout on my tile floors. It did not cause any harm to the paint on the baseboard.

I would say "yes" if it's a clean app.of grout. So worth a try. I've tried many grout cleaners and this is the best so far! This will be my "go to" grout from now on in.
