Does their exist stain proof grout ?
Many grout manufacturers have come out in recent years with what they claim is stain proof grout. These grouts are made of materials like acrylic and urethane as opposed to regular cement. In fact they are much less absorbent than regular grout. However they are not completely stainproof. I have seen these grouts stain as well and could not be restored by cleaning. Although they seem superior to regular grout there has been a serious issue with their installation. Tile installers have been having tremendous difficulty in removing the grout residue from tile floors even smooth tiles. Grout Works has been hired a number of times to remove the residue and haze left on the tiles from these grouts. Home owners have expressed frustration that after paying a lot more money for “better” grout they ended up with a mess. There are various types of grouts and sometimes it is worth investing the money in a specific type of grout for specific settings and environments. Some grouts perform better in certain environments than others. One example would be using a quality epoxy grout like Laticrete Spectralock for wet environments like pools, showers and steam rooms. However, for cleaning purposes the sealer we use on gout makes grout easier to clean than any “stain proof” grout we have come across.
We encourage everyone to do your proper due diligence and research before purchasing a more expensive grout.
