Did a demonstration at a restaurant a few days ago, everything turned out well except the area under the urinal.... as can be expected. What does one have to do to correct the yellow discoloration ? It is on black grout. I used Vipor venom from Hrdraforce I believe, and hit it with 850 PSI and a Sx-12 Hard surface tool
also a Geico tool. Any suggestions will be appreciated. |

You could try Viper Renew or another acid product. You could also colour seal the stained areas to cover it up -------------

Thanks cmaster,
Does anyone have the" been there, done that , and it worked fantastic " solution. I know viper renew strips a small amount of the grout and sealing is required afterwards. Other than that I have not tried the renew. |

Is Viper Renew acidic? That's about your best bet. Hit er with an acid and then rinse real well. If that doesn't do it, colour seal it. Good luck. Mark ------------- Don't take your organs to heaven..... Heaven knows we need them here http://www.mcmastertile.com - www.mcmastertile.com |

Yes it is, but as it decomposes it turns to an alkaline. The reason for the acid is to "etch" the grout -------------

Is that for $1,000,000?
I don't have any personal experience with that product, but I have heard that it works well. You can always ask the same question on dirtygrout.com and see what answers you get there -------------
