Don,
there are several things you can do and here are some tips
1. Don't let your powder dry out..Get it picked up right away. If you can afford one a Kiavac(
www.kaivac.com) is wonderful for cleaning grout. Its basically a small pressure washer with a vacuum attachment.
2. You can also use powdered concrete dyes to color your powder.
3. mix some odorless ammonia in your final rinse water. This will help neutralize the acid in the powder which can bleach the grout.
Now that I think of it this would have been a good tip for the week..so now you have two for this week LOL

Good Morning All:
Do not know if this went out last week so I am repeating it. Any ideas on how to maintain the integrity of grout color when powder polishing? Slurry always seems to lighten it and cause issues with customers.
Thanks
