 Topic: Urinal... tile discolorationPosted: 05/May/2008 at 9:22pm |

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 |

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
