Showed up to a tile job that was supposed to be quick and easy. There was nothing easy or quick about it. The tile had never been cleaned or sealed before. The grout was black. I soaked the kitchen down in the New Viper Venom, gave a scrub, then extracted at 1200 psi with my spinner. Although i made progress, parts of the grout still looked like fertilizer. So I cleaned it a second time with a strong mix of Saigers code red and more scrubbing with a brass bristly brush on my hands and knees. Still no change. This grout was so soaked with grease and years of neglect, it’s beyond repair. The grout is so thin in many areas the grey thin-set is showing through.
This was the first time I’ve ever recommended color sealing. I’m going back in two weeks to colorseal. Charging $300 to do it.
