Why grout lines go dark in Granada Hills homes
The tile still looks fine. The grout between it reads gray, then brown. Mopping stopped helping months ago. That soil sits below the surface. Grout is porous cement, and it holds what water carries into it. Decomposed-granite dust off hillside yards and slopes is abrasive. It grinds the top layer of the grout open. A string mop then pushes that slurry into the lines and leaves it there to dry.
Cleaning this means pressure plus containment. A spinner tool sprays hot rinse at the floor and vacuums it back in the same pass. Pre-spray has to dwell first, especially on kitchen grout carrying cooking oil. Freeway-adjacent homes get an oily soot film that bonds the dust down. Straight pressure alone smears it.
Substrate decides the chemistry. Porcelain and glazed ceramic tolerate an acidic rinse. Travertine, saltillo and marble do not. Acid etches calcium-based stone and leaves dull spots you cannot scrub out. Those floors get neutral cleaners and different tooling.
Some grout will not come back. Cracked, crumbling or missing grout needs repair, not cleaning. Permanently dyed lines may need color sealing instead. Shower grout that stays dark is often mold in the substrate behind it.
Seal after it dries, not before.
