some questions for home owners. we bought a new house recently and the tiles looked great for a month and now the "gaps" are already getting dirty. aren't the house builders supposed to put something in the gap for easier cleaning/maintenance? is that standard or did I miss something? attached picture. if I have to do it myself(or get someone to do it), what do you normally put in there so it blends in and the gaps aren't too visible? something like this? http://www.homedepot.com/p/Custom-Building-Products-Polyblend-382-Bone-10-5-oz-Sanded-Ceramic-Tile-Caulk-PC38210S/100678065?cm_mmc=Shopping%7cTHD%7cG%7c0%7cG-BASE-PLA-D23-Tile%7c&gclid=Cj0KEQiAnIPDBRC7t5zJs4uQu5UBEiQA7u5Ne57_NfNcPuwh2tNWXFCdW2PGtjZEzp8nTePTQ-rGxyoaAs8K8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds |

Tiles have grout between them. Sadly you have white grout which is a absolute bastard to keep clean. You can buy a grout cleaning pen or similar to clean it up. Welcome to owning your own club :p |

but aren't there better solution like silicone filler or something? ain't nobody got time for all that cleaning lines/gaps with a pen lol.. the ladies in the house are incredibly lazy :angry: |

Silicone would be a bad option. You'll find that out after your bathroom ages a bit. They make epoxy grout. It supposed to be the easiest to maintain, but I have no experience with it. You'd have to remove all the grout currently there to install it. The grout on my bathroom floor is about the color of dirty grout. This was by design. ;D EDIT: after actually enlarging the picture, I have to say that actually looks pretty clean to me. :lol |

Same, we have grey grout because it stays grey and looks as should. White grout is the worst thing ever lol |
