The subject is how to prevent grout from staining? This discussion wanders away from it. Here are your options:

- Seal it. Then seal it again every couple years, minimum.

- Use an epoxy grout, such as Spectra Lock. It never needs sealing and will not stain.

These are your only two options... the rest is fluff.

I had 17" porcelain tile put down only 6 months ago and I have 9 tiles with cracks on the edges. The tiles are on a concreate slab and the house is level and 30 yrs old. I think there are voids under them and the workmanship was not good. What could be the reason?
