Here are three categories of grout to choose from:
Sanded grout: is ideal for large grout joints – mostly used on large outdoor tiled areas such as balconies – except for marble which sanded grout will scratch.
Unsanded grout: is ideal for smaller grout joints.
Epoxy grout; is ideal for shower floors, bathroom floors, kitchen floors and splashbacks.
A whitish residue on grout is typically caused by efflorescence. Efflorescence is the result of soluble salts or minerals that dissolve in water and come to the surface during evaporation. Efflorescence can come from moisture coming up through the cement slab or from the mortar itself.
Efflorescence can also occur when the water used to mix grout has a high mineral content.
