Oil in Grout

[CLongfield]

Help! I have spilled a whole bottle of olive oil on my tiled floor.
Any tips for cleaning it - the grout was white, but the oil has soaked in and it looks terrible.

it's an oil. bleach won't touch it. a strong detergent might, or white spirit

otherwise get used to flooring grout not being white.

White grout on floors is always a problem - I always recommend grey.
You could rake it out and replace it, otherwise I don't fancy your chances.

I have just posted in another topic about a company who do all differnt products for tiles and grout problems. It sounds like you may need a product called Poultice this is a powder you make in to a clay then you eave it to dwell on the grout and it pulls out oils/grease.

You will be amazed at what some of these products can do not been using them for long but its making my job so much easier.
