I have been using a new tile cleaning machine by US products called the Torrent along with a spinner tool for grout cleaning. Its pricey and a bit to set up but I get the grout clean. It has adjustable pressure from 400-1200 psi which helps with certain jobs.

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
