<div>Don,</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>there are several things you can do and here are some tips</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>1. Don&#39;t let your powder dry out..Get it picked up right away.&nbsp; If you can afford one a Kiavac(<a target="_top" href="http://www.kaivac.com/" target="_blank">www.kaivac.com</a>) is wonderful for cleaning grout. Its basically a small pressure washer with a vacuum attachment.</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>2. You can also use powdered concrete dyes to color your powder.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>3. mix some odorless ammonia in your final rinse water. This will help neutralize the acid in the powder which can bleach the grout.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Now that I think of it&nbsp; this would have been a good tip for the week..so now you have two for this week LOL<br><br></div>

<div>
<div>Good Morning All:</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>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. </div>
