Urine stains can seep into grouted tile floors and leave behind an unpleasant stain and odour. Since grout is porous, the urine can discolour it. You can restore the grout to its original colour by cleaning it thoroughly to remove the urine. Urine can grow bacteria that can make the grout unsanitary. Clean the urine immediately to prevent it from soaking into the grout to help minimise the time required to remove it.
