Having discolored grout can keep your tile from looking fresh and clean. Typically the grout discoloring can be reversed if maintained with the proper cleaning chemical and tools as well as having a professional cleaning periodically.

For most businesses it isn’t feasible to ask customers to remove their shoes, however, periodic maintenance would be the key to help lesson the ugliness.
