grout
So a certain someone (my husband) “accidentally” walked on our newly grouted porcelain tile floor about 3 hours after it had been finished. While nothing looks disturbed, are we destined to have cracks emerge sooner rather than later?It was TEC grout, although I’m not sure which type.
Thanks for your help!
Grout stain is certainly the easiest option I have tried. The one I used came in a pen form and I just coloured in all the grout one afternoon when the bathroom was dry. I wouldn't try it with damp grout as the absorption might be unpredictable.
I seriously doubt that you will remove the dye from the grout using any method. Your best bet is to pick up a grout saw at lowes or home depot for about seven dollars that has a diamond blade on the end. You will be able to use the pointed end to file down the small amount where the gray overlapped( if that's what happened). IF it was too wet and these colors bled, then file down into the grout where it bled, mix your grout a little tacky instead of loose and touch up the edge.

The tile had already fully set for at least 24 hours before grouting I expect. So walking on it would be safe. The only damage that walking on uncured grout would cause is deforming the grout itself. If you see no evidence of smushed grout either your husband did not step on the actual grout or the grout had hardened enough to not be deformed by his steps. In any case I would not expect any trouble with the grout if it looks fine now.
