How to Get Colored Drinks out of Grout with Grout Cleaner

Kids make messes, whether at home or out in public. Kids also like to drink an assortment of fun-colored drinks like fruit punch, orange juice, blue raspberry juice, pink lemonade, and more. Unfortunately, colored drinks can easily stain lots of things in a home or business, including grout.

Colored drinks can be easy to wipe off tiles, but the drink can be hard to get out of grout because it quickly absorbs into the grout lines. After spilling a colored drink into the grout lines, you may see a discoloration left behind, whether it’s pink or blue or red, which is likely NOT the color of your grout.

Since grout is porous and usually light-colored, it will easily absorb the bright color of the drink and become discolored. With the right grout cleaning and grout sealing products, you can clean up the colored drink and it will look like the drink stain was never there. Remember, if you spill a colored drink, or anything in grout, you want to clean it up fast, so it takes less time to stain and clean.

Our team at Grout Shield can help you get rid of drink stains in grout for good. A colored drink stain in your grout can make your home or business look old and dirty, even if you clean it regularly.

Besides getting rid of the drink discoloration, Grout Shield grout cleaning products also rid the grout of any bacteria and other harmful germs that could be absorbed into the grout lines over time.

Most home-cleaning products like bleach, ammonia or white vinegar may get rid of the grout stain (eventually), but they really are not cleaning the grout. Many of the chemicals in the cleaners are harsh on the grout and can actually cause the grout to crack or break.

To remove colored drink stains, you want to first blot the area dry with a clean cloth. Wipe the area clean of the lotion. To remove the drink stains, you will want to use Grout Shield’s Grout & Tile Deep Cleaner, which cleans and lifts deep and hard-to-clean stains out of the grout’s pores.

To use this grout cleaner, mix 1 ounce of the cleaner with 8 ounces of warm water. Then, brush the cleaner into the grout with a brush applicator. Let the mixture sit into the grout lines for a few minutes. Wipe away the cleaner with a sponge and towel dry the floor. The colored drink stain will be gone.

Now, if the stain still won’t fully disappear, you can make the grout color look like new again with Grout Shield’s color sealer. You just squeeze the color sealer into the grout lines. Then, spread it into the grout lines with a brush applicator or your finger and wipe away the excess with a towel or chamois. This newly applied color will cover the discoloration. We can match and make any color you want for your grout lines. Check out all our grout colors. A new grout color can transform the look of a room or space.

Always seal your grout. If you don’t need to recolor your grout, seal your grout with a clear grout sealer after cleaning it. Next time any colored drink lands on your grout, the grout sealer will prevent the drink from seeping into the grout lines. You will be able to easily wipe the colored drink right up with no stain left behind.
