We’ve provided several answers to questions related to Cleaners , see some other helpful Q&A related to this product.
Question: Does this damage grout?We used to use 3% hydrogen peroxide to bleach our grout, and it basically ate the grout away. Will this product do the same thing, only slower? Or does it not dissolve grout?
Answer: As long as you use the product per manufacturer instructions of use, it should not eat away your grout as this is made for grout. https://www.greenbuildingsupply.com/c...

Question: What's the best product to use to get grout off of the drain guards and the restaurant floor?
Answer: Grout Smart is an excellent cleaner for grout and is used by major hotel chains because it cleans normal dirt, restores and brightens. Also, the hydrogen peroxide, If left for a few minutes will (according to the CDC) kill 99.9% of all bacteria too. It's non-toxic and NSF registered. Made with hydrogen peroxide, surfactants and a tiny amount of orange oil.If, however, you are trying to remove excess grout haze, this may work too depending upon the type of grout and the amount left on the surface of the tile.

Question: Can I leave this on longer? I did it for 10 minutes, then scrubbed with brush 3 times with some stains remaining. ( diluting 1 part to 5 parts water) Thanks
