Removing 'paint' from grout
+8
The grout is/was white. Several years ago I bought and applied a product to "whiten" the grout again. It was in a smallish squeeze type bottle. I don't know what it was, it was white, more like a paint than a cleaner. Now I need to remove it. Any ideas? THANK YOU!

......You will need a grout removal tool", available at the Home Improvement Store....scrape the top layer off , and you can re- grout it. ..; there is an additive you can add to your grout , its a sealer/ hardener that is mixed in with the grout before you use it, this helps keep the grout cleaner and seals it as well. :)

Mix TSP in spray bottle. Spray grout, wait 10 minutes and use soft bristle brush to scrub. Rinse well.

I also use a blue syrup type called Lysol and works wonders on brown type rust, great on tiles and porcelain tubs!

Have you tried paint remover? Try a small area with gloves and a stiff tooth brush.
