Good points about urethane, but epoxy grout isn't always that tricky. I've found if you mix smaller batches and keep your cleaning tools ready, it's manageable even in tight spaces. And honestly, epoxy durability is hard to beat, especially in high-moisture areas like showers... just my two cents.

Fair enough, epoxy grout can be solid if you're careful. But have you found any difference in ease of cleaning over time compared to urethane? I've had mixed experiences, especially with tenants who aren't exactly gentle on bathrooms...

Epoxy grout's tough, sure, but honestly, cleaning-wise, urethane edges it out a bit. Epoxy can get weirdly sticky with soap scum if tenants slack on regular cleaning. Still, nothing a good scrub with vinegar can't handle... just gotta remind folks occasionally.

Good point about epoxy grout and soap scumβ€”I ran into the same issue in our guest bath. Vinegar definitely helps, but I've found that a diluted baking soda paste works wonders too, especially if the buildup gets stubborn. Urethane grout does seem to stay cleaner longer without as much fuss, though. Still, epoxy's durability is hard to beat long-term... guess it's just about weighing your priorities between ease of cleaning and overall toughness.

Haha, totally agreeβ€”epoxy grout is practically bulletproof but man, that soap scum can be stubborn. I tried your baking soda trick and it worked great...also found that a quick squeegee after showers cuts down buildup big time. Less scrubbing, more Netflix!
