Unsealed Grout

[Baroness Benachi]

Hello,
Apparently the wonderful company that renovated my building, didn't bother
to seal the grout in the kitchens. Now I've had a coffee spill and have
brown stains on white grout. How can I remove the stains?

You probably can't. But, you can try using chlorine bleach. I would
moisten some paper towels with bleach and lay them over the stain.

Ultimately, your grout will turn dark. I have tile counters and despite the
fact that the grout was sealed, it gets stained. I would never start with
white grout in a kitchen anyway.

The idea of using bleach soaked paper towels(wet with water first then add
bleach to make 50/50 solution) is good. I have pale gray grout and even
though I seal them at least once a year,they've gotten darker. Sandy
