Thinking about install of those 4" tiles for kitchen countertop. How do you keep grout from miscolouring, and how does it hold up?

    You'll want to use a grout sealer to help protect the grout. It is simple to apply, and should be redone every 6 months or so depending on how heavily the area is used.

    I had tile countertop in my last home, it was very difficult to keep clean even though the grout was sealed. No matter how much I cleaned, grout always looked dirty. I would never use tile for a countertop again

    I agree with Abryon we put ceramic tile counter tops in our kitchen remodel and I can not keep the grout looking clean - drives me crazy
