A 1%er thinks her grout is chaulking and contaminating her white carpet. She Seems to think all the grout needs to be removed and re applied.

If this is the case- would applying sealer solve this problem?

I think its just normal dirt, an not the grout.
Both her n the husband seem to have severe OCD, so I wont be the one to regrout for them.

penetrative sealer, no

Colorseal, yes.

God, I can only imagine her reaction if you color sealed it after a few years.

The water was shut off to their building just when I was starting. I was using a portable since they had the Penthouse suite-- of course.
Luckily I had some water but not enough. When faced with this challenge-- she asked- "well have you ever cleaned carpet with Evian"?
we have some on hand?-- How's That for the 1% baby!" she asked me-- haha

anyway-- they were super happy I solved the water problem and continued the cleaning. They tipped me $50, But I was still thinking--Hope Im retired when they call again.

New marketing strategy. "We clean with Evian water". Better than Zero Rez.
