I used this product on non sanded grout. I sprayed the product. No issues with cleanup. Just followed the directions.

Hello,Thank you for your message. This is an unsanded white grout. Any white grout will work as long as it is unsanded grout so that the surface of the mother of pearl does not get scratched. Be sure to use a white thinset or adhesive for white mother of pearl as mother of pearl is translucent. Feel free to let us know if you have any questions.Thank you,Tile Circle

I researched this online and was advised to use mortar and non-sanded grout, and be sure to wash off the residue with a soft wet cloth and polish with a micro fiber cloth after grouting. There are products that will wash off residue, but I would test them on a sample to be sure it doesn't affect the shell sheen. I don't have the packaging, so I don't know if there are instructions included. The most recent purchase of these shells did not include instructions, so it may depend on the company. I installed mine over Schluter systems Ditra grid backing in order to increase the depth to line up the face of the tile with other ceramic tiles. The Schluter Ditra was secured with mortar to the cement board covered with Redguard, then the grid was mortared and the white pearl shell tiles laid on the wall, let dry, then grouted with the non-sanded grout, and finally washed. Later, I applied grout sealer and polished with a microfiber cloth. Hope this helps.

yes, it works with any grout. Since you would not be mixing all of the grout at once what I do is measure out the amount I want to mix for the time(say 6 cups of grout) then I color that amount by adding the colorant at a measuring spoon amount until I reach the color I want. Only you can tell how deep you want the grout color. (It will also dry a bit lighter) So If you start mixing and added a teaspoon and it's too light, add another measure until it looks right. I have done some large projects (table tops) and this works great. you might make yourself a note as you add the color. I have never done this by the pound measuring. Seems to me that a little color goes a long way! Just depends on how intense a color you need to achieve. hope this helps. Relax and have fun.

That depends on the stains and how long they have been there. You can try a commercial grout cleaner for example from TileLab. Toothbrushes or any other small brush works well to apply. You can get a small grain sanding sponge and rub it over the stains first sometimes you can get the surface stains out this way and a cleaner just helps smoothing it. After a good cleaning apply grout sealer. Here again I found TileLab to be perfect for the task but there are plenty of others. After it has completely dried you can use the Mega Steamer for maintenance and you should find restraining delayed if not prevented. That depends on the stains and how long they have been there.

I used a Speedwheel Grout Sealer and Stain applicator. It's basically a plastic bottle with a small wheel attached to it. The wheel was about the same width as my grout and it worked really well.

The bristles are stiff. Does good job on grout but you need to use pressure. I like this but I wish the swivel head was not so loose because it's sometimes hard to control.

Honestly, there is no magic wand for white grout... Krud Kutter is a big help, though! And I would buy it for this.

Please do not mix with grout! It is intended to be used after the grout has cured for at least 48-72 hours. In my opinion, most of the products that claim to protect grout from being stained are just gimmicks. As a tile contractor with over 25 years of experience, my preferred method for grouting would be to use Custom Building Products Polyblend cement-based grout that is mixed with water. If you want maximum protection, try my Epoxy Bond. Why? Because it never needs to be sealed, is 99% waterproof, and will not crack in corners like regular grout.

I think it might do very well at that task. I suppose it depends on the type of grout it self, although I have to guess that grouts might be pretty similar in composition. I'd try mixing up a solution of oxi and hot water (oxi works best with warm/hot water) and scrubbing the grout with that solution using a small brush. Do just a small area initially to see how well it works, and if the mixture damages the grout at all. I've used grout cleaners in the past that were so strong that the caused the the grout to fall apart. I would rather has dirty grout than NO grout, you know? Oxi might just be a perfect grout cleaner, although I've never used it for that task.

Clean your grout lines FIRST, before applying a sealer of any kind. You never want to apply a sealer over dirty or discolored grout. They will remain that way! In my experience, I can recommend "Fresh Start 2000" as the best grout cleaner. Mix it with water. Use a spray bottle to apply. Scrub with a small stiff brush. Simple and easy to use and it will make your grout look new again. Full cure time for Aqua Mix Gold is 24 hours. Allow 30 minutes drying time between coats if applying more than 1 coat. Ready for surface traffic in 2 hours after final coat. Keep grout lines dry for 12 hours after final coat. Aqua Mix Gold penetrates grout. I recommend 2 coats for a long lasting protective seal. I hope this answers your questions.

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

I used on my bathroom shower tiles, which it was not very effective. But my tiles are 3x3 with small grout lines. These bristles are very dense, long, and a bit awkward which makes it very difficult around and in corners which is my entire shower, but if your grout wider and obviously flatter surface with minimal corners this may work.
