Color seal

[Charlie Lyman]

Once grout is color sealed, do you clean it like normal? I have a customer that had her grout color sealed and it is nasty dirty. I want to clean it, but I don't want to mess up the color seal.
Thanks

Depends upon how well the previous job was done.

Best to clean with caution, just in case.

more importantly, what type of color seal? most recoomend keeping pressure below 500 and often lower. A good cleaner, dwell time, light agitation and rinsing should take care of it, if it was color sealed correctly.

If grout perfect was used, a neutral cleaner, some dwell time and 400 pis would bring it back go perfect it

Charlie here is how we approach a sealed job. First while we assure the customer that we will take all precautions we can't guarantee that some of the sealer won't be remove. we will replace it at their expense if they like. then we change the jets and replace with 9504s. the jets that are in it currently have a very narrow pattern which concentrates all the spray. i have found even at low pressure it can damage the color seal. the wider spray still cleans a sealed job with less pressure directly on the grout.
