What Is Grout Staining?

Grout staining is a process where a specially formulated colorant and sealer are applied directly onto existing grout lines.
This two-in-one product recolors and seals the grout at the same time, covering up permanent stains and providing long-term protection against future dirt, spills, and moisture penetration.

Unlike traditional cleaning or sealing, staining allows you to:

Change or restore the color of your grout (even if it’s uneven, discolored, or damaged)
Create a consistent, brand-new look across your floors or tiled surfaces
Seal the grout against future staining, moisture absorption, and microbial growth
Grout staining isn’t just cosmetic — it’s a practical, high-performance upgrade for anyone who wants a low-maintenance, long-lasting floor.

What’s the Difference Between Grout Staining and Grout Sealing?

Grout sealing is when a clear, invisible sealer is applied to protect clean grout from absorbing dirt, moisture, and stains. It doesn’t change the color of your grout — it just provides a layer of protection.
Grout staining does everything sealing does — plus it adds color correction or color enhancement.

Here’s the breakdown:

Grout Sealing Grout Staining
Purpose Protect clean grout from future staining Correct the appearance and protect
Appearance No color change Changes or evens out grout color
Coverage Seals existing grout Seals and recolors grout
Best For New or lightly soiled grout Old, stained, or mismatched grout
Durability 1–3 years typical 10–15 years typical with proper care
Bottom Line:
If your grout is already stained, uneven, or old, sealing alone won’t fix the look — staining will.

Why Choose Grout Staining Over Grout Sealing?

While grout sealing is a smart maintenance move for brand-new or freshly cleaned grout, grout staining offers several advantages when you’re looking for a true refresh:

Visual Transformation:Grout staining can make your floors look brand new without a costly tile replacement.
Color Customization:Choose from a wide range of color options — match your original grout, go lighter, go darker, or even modernize outdated floors with trendy grout colors.
Long-Term Protection:Stained grout is sealed and protected at the same time, helping resist future stains, mold, mildew, and moisture intrusion.
Uniform Appearance:Fix blotchy, stained, or uneven grout lines to create a sharp, clean, consistent finish across the entire surface.
Lower Maintenance:Stained and sealed grout is easier to clean, requiring less harsh scrubbing and fewer aggressive chemicals.
If you want a real “floor facelift” without demolition, grout staining is the smartest, highest-return upgrade you can make.

How Long Does Grout Staining Last?

When properly applied by professionals like On-Target Floor Care, grout staining typically lasts 10 to 15 years — and in many cases, even longer.

Durability depends on:

The quality of the stain/sealant product
How well the grout was prepped beforehand (thorough cleaning is critical)
The amount of foot traffic and use
The maintenance and cleaning routine after staining
We use premium commercial-grade grout colorants that bond tightly to the grout’s surface and resist peeling, chipping, or wearing away under normal residential or commercial conditions.

With basic care — like sweeping regularly, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners, and promptly wiping spills — your new stained grout can maintain its color and protection for over a decade.
