It isn’t expensive to change grout color, especially if you opt for a grout pen, dye, or stain to do the job. It will cost more if you want to fully remove the grout and redo it, but this method also means the new color will last longer than painted grout. You’ll spend less on frequent dye or pen touchups if you redo the grout entirely.

If left untreated, the smell of pet urine may not go away on its own. This is because urine is a surfactant that can penetrate fabric and upholstery, even some porous concrete. Plus, urine attracts bacteria, which can worsen the smell. When dealing with urine on your couch, treat it immediately or pay for the cost of a house cleaner. Most pros charge between $30 and $50 per hour.

If left for more than 10 days, grout haze can become very difficult to remove, and it may never fully disappear. After 10 days, you’ll have to use professional grout haze removers and may even need to call in a professional tile cleaner to attempt to get the job done.

For most brick cleaning jobs, including fireplace bricks, use a masonry sponge and a gentle cleaner. A simple solution of equal parts water and vinegar, or a few drops of dish soap in a bowl of water, can effectively remove grime. For tougher stains, you can use a dedicated masonry or fireplace cleaner. It is crucial to wet the bricks thoroughly with water before applying any cleaning solution to prevent the brick from absorbing it, and to rinse the surface completely afterward. Harsher cleaners containing bleach or ammonia should only be used as a last resort, and they should never be mixed together.
