| My wife had a very light gray grout for the bathroom floor.
She told the contractor it was too light (almost white). He said after the sealant was applied it would look very close to the gray she wanted. Now that the sealant is on, the grout is a brown that is basically the same color as dirt! What can we or the contractor do to lighten or remove the sealant? Thanks, dcon47 |

| You might try one of the acids or cleaners that is advertised to remove sealant. What sealant was used? I have the problem of ivory grout that came out white and would like to seal with something that will darken it. I will do a test area first to make sure it is the right result as I wouldn't want it to look like dirt but for mine if it yellowed it up some it would be perfect. Thanks! |

| It should lighten with time. Acid may run the finish of the tile. |
