I used this product a year ago. I cleaned the old grout with a small brush first but I did not remove any old grout . It worked great! A year later it still look like new.

Yes. It does remove grout, but be sure you use the mason/ceramic cutting blades. If you use the standard wood type blades they will wear out very fast and over heat in the process.

I took a left over piece and tried it for you. It seems to work and look okay. My tiles have a good amount of grout inbetween them and it still looked okay.

Yes, Suzi. This is a good maintenance cleaner for your limestone and won't strip your sealer as it's ph neutral. Please, keep in mind that this is a maintenance cleaner and not a heavy duty cleaner so if you're looking to remove mold, mildew or soap scum, you would need to use something stronger like our Ultimate Grout Cleaner or our Intensive Cleaner.

Yes, use toothpaste (or any cleaner with pumice) to remove the protective film when you first get it. Then defogger before each dive.

Get another pool guy! My guy just folds it to one side, cleans the pool and then does the other side. He has never mentioned to me the need for more chemicals, algae concerns etc....

This is a strong product which works very well. I thought I would need to replace my tub but it made it like new. You can try a small area first on your awning to see how it works on that surface before doing a large area. If it doesn't seem to be pulling the color off of it then you should be safe to use it for the entire awning. Hope this was helpful.

Try 3m caulk remover. May not dissolve it, but at least should make removal easier

You can heat shrink it but the only reason you should need to heat shrink it is if you are trying to make it look more professional since the coupler is already insulated

If you use the whole system and clean all the existing grout as well as scrape it with wire brushes, it will be clean enough to use the product Makes it look like new but maintenance is required and it will have to be redone (maybe) semi-annually.

Absolutely not. It will get it moist and make it easier for you to scrub the grout out. But will not lift it out.

I would be very careful not to get it in the pool or on any plastic,vinyl or tile. Not sure what the solution might do to those areas.

No. I put the water in and then put my drops of e.o. in the same well. Make sure to dry out container when finished so no build up starts...super easy to wipe dry!

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.

I doubt it. The purpose is to seal the surface once every thing is dry. Then reseal every year to be safe. I don't think you want to mix anything with the grout as that would interfere with the purpose of the grout.

Yes, but it will also require some elbow grease. I made a mistake on allowing grout sealer to get onto my porcelain tile which left a greasy residue that wouldn't come off. I tested this product with a scrub pad and it removed the film. I had a large area to cover so I borrowed a buffing machine from a friend and finally got my floor back to normal after a lot of work. This product helps on removing silicone sealant, but would also recommend a buffing machine with scrubbing pad for large areas. Mix this product with water and spread onto floor and then use scrubbing machine. Hope this helps

There is on reason why you would need to keep ZEP off the tile. You spread it on the entire floor (I used a sponge mop)and let it sit for a while. Then use a grout brush to scrub the grout lines, and mop up the floor. I had to repeat this process several times.
