Does the sealer change the color of the grout at all? Does it darken a light colored grout? thanks.

We just applied it 2 days ago. I think it made my light grout a tiny bit darker.

no, no color changes are apparent or visible, but the "Bulletproof" stone sealer I used on my marble bathroom vanity top did not protect it from PINESOL, which has now stained the marble, thanks to my girlfriend using PINESOL to clean the marble...it is now damaged forever.

No, it doesn't change the color. I've put on several coats and there was no change in grout color.

No. it has not lightened any dark marks. hope that helps. it will bleach shirts and towels though. oops!

If it's not applied evenly it did make grout darker where the excess was applied. I wouldn't call it a "wet look" though. Invest in a good applicator.

I have had this squeegee for a while now and it leaves no black marks. I have light colored tile and it does not leave marks on the tile, glass, or floor. My floor is porcelain tile and the wall tile is ceramic.

Sorry. I don't know. Haven't tried it on yellowed grout. My guess is it is not the product for that. This product seems to lift the dirt/stain and yellowed grout may be yellowed throughout due to age. Probably need some sort of bleach or acid. Perhaps a wood bleach which is safe and might work.

No, the sealer won't give you a matte finish. It is rather oily though, you'll have to buff the excess off.

The RadonSeal does not alter the finish of the concrete. After complete drying, the floor looks the same as it did before the application if you follow the directions. If you have areas of gloss before the sealing, you will still have them afterward.

I have colored grout and I haven't seen any changes, however my tile is raised and the grout is lower and so I am not super sure that the brushes are actually getting in the grout line, but the substance itself did not change the color of the grout at all.

No, it doesn't change colors per se but enhances the shine more than anything. However, there is also a clear glaze that's pretty fantastic too.

I found that it slightly lightens the color. However, it is a very small price to pay for how well it work. This product is a god send. We even considered ripping up the existing tile because of how slippery it was.

Google GROUT-cleaning, I read that bleach is not recommended and will actually turn it grout black and destroy its sealing ability.. I can't think of name of the cleaner - maybe what is in Tilex. BUt google it. YOu will enjoy the information.

It may stain unsealed grout, but not permanently. Rinse off quickly and it shouldn't stain.

It hasn't darkened anything I have used it on, but it might if you use it on a really dry porous piece. The items I have used it on were not real dry since I take care of them. I have used it on gun leather, boots, and purses so far and am totally pleased with the results. The best I have found.

Yes, it's customizable as to how light or dark you want the end result to be. Also, if you layer the minerals while they are still wet, you will end up with gray areas where the white and black mix together (but dab the sponge, don't smear!).

Mine was just slightly not white, with perhaps a hint of pink, but not something I would've ever described as "very pink." I can't remember about the seal - sorry. I think you should return it.

Yes, but you need to be very careful when cleaning grout with a power operated brush. Make sure the grout is sealed properly with grout sealer (it will have clear or satin sheen on surface of the grout). Another way to check if your grout is sealed is to put a drop of water on it. If the water repelled or sits on the grout it is sealed; otherwise if not sealed it will absorb into the grout. Be sure to clean using "light pressure" when cleaning grout and use a detergent that is specifically designed for cleaning grout. Using too much pressure when cleaning will damage the grout.

To be honest, never tried it. But I have never seen this stuff change color on anything. I do sand, and STAIN wood and finish, and it doesn't darken, nor color the wood. Do a test spot and see? :)
