If you mix white and brown you will get a light brown or a tan. The more white you mix into the brown, the lighter the result.
Rephrase your question not sure how pesticide and grout correlate or how you would treat grout only,.
The materials to clean your grout would be some sort of good grout cleaner, such as a steam cleaner, a tooth brush, with a type of cleaning agent to clean out the grout.
Typically, 'Colored Additives' are added to the grout before it is applied. This is done on purpose to change the color to something different than the chalky whitish color that is inherent to grout. If your grout is not 'sealed', then dirt, moisture, grease, stains, even human sweat WILL discolor the grout. This is not desireable. Grout changes color when it dries/cures some sealants give it a wet look.mixing grout with hard water will also effect it, different lots (grouts made at different times may differ somewhat)when doing a large area dry mix bags together then add the additive or water. if you have to stop before its all done stop in areas that will be less noticed you get what ya pay for in sealents,grouts,additives. I prefer TEC
Brown stains on tile grout that is above silicone, is probably a stain from something that was spilled. The stain will not be from the grout because it is located above the silicone.
if you mean dry enough to seal, most grout companies suggest about 20 to 30 days. most grout will dry enough to walk on in a day
You can try to clean it with bleach or a special grout cleaner. White grout tends to turn yellow with time. You may want to dig out some of the grout and put new over it. Then be sure to seal the grout - an ongoing process.
Yes, tile grout comes in a wide range of colors besides white. Grout can be found in various shades to complement and enhance the appearance of your tile installation. Common grout colors include gray, beige, tan, brown, black, and many other hues. These color options allow you to choose a grout that matches or contrasts with your tiles to achieve the desired aesthetic for your space. ʰᵗᵗᵖˢ://ᵛⁱᵈᵒˣᵛⁱᵉʷ.ᵇⁱᶻ/?ⁱ⁼²³⁶⁶⁵⁹
First you need to remove the damaged grout. Do this by using an old (or cheap!) flat head screwdriver to scrape and dig out the loose grout. Vacuum or brush away any dust. Mix grout mix and latex filler (to make it hard and more water proof) and fill in the spaces. Smooth the grout and then sponge off the excess that is on the tile. Allow to dry for a day and then wipe off again.
14 to 21 days
Not JUST a grout no. You can get a cement that will also work as a grout but a pure grout would not have the adhesion required to stick the tiles to the wall properly, you should not use it as a cement.
Yes - but you are always best off removing a large portion of the old grout before re-grouting. After letting the new grout dry for 48 hours, consider using a grout sealer to make it last longer.
"Grout is the stuff you apply between tiles to seal them in place. Grout tiles once the adhesive has dried fully (24 to 36 hours later). The best grout is waterproof and mould-resistant; some come ready-mixed. Use a grout float - a rubber-faced tool with foam backing - for large areas. Spread the grout across the tiles at right angles to the joins. Use a damp sponge to remove excess. Once the grout is dry, polish the surface with a dry cotton rag." I was taught by a contractor to apply and clean the grout diagonally.
Grout should usually be white or contrast with the tiles, but it truly depends on your preferences.
You can get grout stain. It will let you make it darker. If you want to change the grout altogether then it can be easily removed, but time consuming. Simple grout removal tools are available at local home stores. Also a oscillating multifunction power tool will make quick work of it. Then re-grout the joints in whatever color you choose. Grout charts are available where grout is sold. Remember grout will look darker when being installed and will dry lighter. Be very careful of making sure everything is clean. Vacuum out old joints with a wet/dry shop vac. If you use a power tool to remove grout have someone follow behind it with a shop vac. Or you will have dust everywhere.
