My old bathroom has green ceramic tile. When it was done, the tile man used green grout. I doubt the grout was ever sealed because for years, every time I clean the tile, I have to scrub about a thousand grout lines. It looks good until the grout dries. Any traces of soap dry white over the green.

At this stage, there is nothing I can do with it. I am told that everyone now seals the grout. Lesson learned.
