Ceramic Tile Grout Sealer

Can someone help me with ceramic tile and grout issues? Please see details.?


Nobody told me that ceramic tile in the kitchen would be impossible to keep the grout looking good. I have light colored tiles and grout, and grout sealer doesn't keep them from getting stained from muddy feet or a spill. I have to use a scrub brush to clean it, and it looks dingy now.

I don't want to put in a new floor. I was thinking replacing the grout with dark grout, but there are two issues: the work of scraping out all that grout, and what dark grout would look like with white tiles. The other thing I was wondering is if there is a grout stain I can use instead of pulling all that up.

My stepfather is a painter, and my mother is a fanatic, so when they had the same problem, he came up with a solution. They chose a latex paint that complimented the color of the tile. He then painted all of the grout lines. Let the paint dry to the touch, and use a damp rag to get rid of any of the paint that was on the tile itself. A note of caution: this only works on glazed tile. If you have quarry tile or anything similar, the paint will adhere to the tile and won't come off. It's a tedious process, but it looks great. Hope this helps.
