Has anyone had a negative experience using this product on colored grout?

I wouldn't say that I had a negative experience, I just don't think it really did much at all. I would say it made my bathroom grout marginally whiter at best.

The only place i have had this single component grout fail is in a shower application. I no longer use it to grout tile showers for that very reason. It seems to fail when constantly exposed to moisture. The first place you will notice it failing will be the floor tiles. Either use the same type of grout you originally grouted with or remove the existing grout to at least half the depth of the tile and regrout with Laticrete SpectraLock epoxy grout (See Fine Homebuiliding March 1015 Issue #249 page # 82 for details).

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

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;

It will remove mildew from both grout & caulk. Caulk color will not be fully restored. You'll need to scrub this product long & hard with a toothbrush or something similar to achieve these results. In my experience, Tilex works better with less scrubbing.

I had all white tiles and grey grout. It always looked dirty. I used the white grout refresh, and the small bath looked huge and clean. It helped sell my house fast.

I would not recommend this product. It did not clean the grout. For me it was a waste of money and time. It did not damage my granite tiles.

Try a small region first, I have had no problems with product, However I have white wool rugs so color change has not been an issue. But the product is one of the best I have ever used. I find if you let the spill ( cat through up ) dry first then scrape off the surface, then vacuum first then apply product. works great, stain come's right to the surface then just blot away.

I used it to clean up some grout and it didn't seem to hurt my tile. Start with the weakest solution in a corner or closet to check it out. Good luck.

I've used "Amaziing Solutions" with hot water on my grout and tile floors. No stains here. I like this product for all over the house. Carpet, tile, kennel trays, and the awkward areas my male decides to aim on, lol

I think it works fine (but don't leave in one spot longer than others, I have noticed a definite difference in the color when I did). I have found that 'Bar Keeper's Friend' (a powder cleaner available at most grocery stores) works just as well as is not as pricey.. (this was recommended by a tile installer I know, and has worked well).

A little. It loosens some stains. But its no fault of the machine. Grout is pourous; it absorbs. So the only way to really clean grout is manually with a commercial cleaner, or with bleach and vinegar and stuff.

Yes I did not have that issue. However I was trying to get dirt out of lighter colored grout, and it worked pretty well. I did expect it to do a little more.

Yes it would, I happen to have a new self sealing grout that is very stain resistant, however I do clean up drips immediately. If I leave the drips, even the stain resistant grout will show a very slight discoloration. I imagine an unsealed grout would stain quickly.

Of course, it's like a paint, before using try cleaning your grout with a Mr. Clean magic eraser. It will work wonders, you may not need to use the Grout Refresh.
