Preventative measures can help you keep your white grout clean and bright. When you’re cleaning grout, make sure all your tools are clean, too. Don’t use a dirty brush, dirty sponge, or dirty water. Some minerals in water can also cause yellowing of grout, so test your water to see what’s in it and invest in a water filtration system, if needed.

You shouldn’t substitute caulk for grout. But in some cases, you can use caulk as a temporary solution to fix cracked grout—especially if there are only a few minor cracks. To do this, start by removing the cracked grout with a rotary or grout saw. Then, apply a matching caulk over the cracks, smooth it out, and let it dry according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Cleaning typically takes 1-3 hours, depending on the area size and dirt buildup.

Grout dye lasts three to 10 years, but the lifespan of any grout finishing product depends on how well you apply it and how much traffic the area gets. Proper application and lower traffic will extend the lifespan. Rushed application and high traffic can mean the dye will only last a few months to a few years.
