Default Sealing Grout

Hello

We've just had the bathroom retiled - walls and floor. We have white grout
on the walls and grey grout on the floor.
The problem is that the grey grout changes to a much darker grey or black
when it gets wet - which is quite often in a bathroom! This gives a rather
uneven and dirty appearence which we'd like to avoid. I was wondering if it
might be possible to seal the floor grout so that it didn't wet and darken
so much. Would PVA do the trick or are there any specialised compounds for
this?

Thanks for any advice
Jeff

Get a bottle of Lithofin Grout Protector, its designed for the job and
won't leave the grout looking shiny.
