Hi all. I’ve been a FHB reader for many years and am pleased to finally join in the discusssion. Here is my question. We have porcelain floor tiles in our entry. Recently a bag of recycling stayed a little too long before heading to the garage and something leaked leaving a dark stain in the grout. Any suggestions how I can either clean or repair?? It is in a very visible spot. I don’t think it was an oily substance, likely fruit juice. Thanks in advance!

Greetings Joan, As a first time poster Welcome to Breaktime.
This post to your question will bump the thread through the 'recent discussion' listing again.
Perhaps it will catch someones eye that can help you with advice.

I would try Oxyclean first, as it works well on many kinds of fruit juice. Test it in an out of the way spot, first.
Thanks, I'll give it a try.
hi joan
do you have any extra grout ? if so you can remove the stained area and regrout it I f that doesnt work call the tca ( tile council of america )

This sounds like a bit of work, (because I've never tried to grout before) but probably the best solution if the oxyclean doesn't cut it . Thanks a lot for the advice.
Might be good practice for my next real project of the kitchen back splash... I'll be reading up on that ...I see some postings .. I think I like this Breaktime forum.
