VIDEO TRANSCRIPT
Often stained grout lines can be corrected with a generous dose of bleach and some serious scrubbing with a brush. When that won’t do the trick, you may have to resort to grout stain. This material is applied directly to the grout to mask the stain and change the color and seal the grout to prevent future stains.
