Please, I need your help. Was not informed prior to grouting saltillo tile with dark saltillo grout and now all tile are stained. What can I use to restore original color or something close to it? Thanks for your help!!

Yes you are supposed to seal your porus tile before grouting. I can't see a way to even the colors unless you darken everything. I've done that with wood stain with greater and lesser success. There must be a "color" that is added to grout that might be applied directly (more or less).<p>Muratic acid is used to clean cement "over spray" and grout mistakes ... but what it will do with colored grout on a porus surface, I don't know.<p>Good luck.
