The company offers the best warranty available in the industry.  Sir Grout's proprietary ColorSeal process matches your existing grout color, or you can aesthetically alter the room by choosing an alternative color.  The ColorSeal process makes grout virtually impossible to stain for a one-year period.  Ketchup, soy sauce, red wine—you name it: The stain wipes off clean and good-as-new.
