Strange looking grout

[CanadianRuss]

I did a quote today and came across this tile and grout. Looks like it's has been sealed with the soil in the grout. Maybe a colour seal attempt. Any thoughts

Did you test grout to see if it was sealed? May never have been cleaned.

looks like normal grout to me. The stroke marks you are seeing is typical of these floors, they wait longer to clean up and the sponges can leave those marks. I don't see anything that indicates otherwise. a good alkaline, brush and extraction with a truckmount should make a big difference. The brush will help with all the crevices and textures of the stone.

Agree.



Brush Pro's excel in these situations.

btw, that random soiling is the effect of using a string or sponge mop and dirty water on Travertine.

I was going to say all that was already said above, just in a nicer and more proffessional manner.

Now if they need it filled, I can demonstrate why amateurs should never attempt to match color.

Unless soft lavender is what they want, I mean.

Thanks guys.

 

[dealtimeman]

No problem!

Ever find out which brush works best on tile/grout? Dad's on board to put the 10" on all the trucks.

I was looking into doing a group buy on the 10" but got distracted..


I really do think YOUR company will need all three options:
Wools and Velvets.
Most Resi carpet and most resi tile
Commercial and gunky tile.
