can you cry over spilled EVOO on your tile/grout floor??

brand new bottle, not quite on the countertop ... evoo = extra virgin olive oil ... all over the kitchen floor. shrapnel in the entry way and down the hall. will the oil ever come out of the grout?? any suggestions? round one was water and soap. just hoping it'll dry normal color.

there's a grout cleaner at home depot/lowes for about $5.00. it's acidic so wear gloves and have area well-ventilated. squirt on - let sit for a minute or 2 and scrub with a brush. rinse with wet cloth. that's what i found on-line along with dawn and water, magic eraser, etc. what a mess. reminds me when i was staining at liz's house which was pretty new at the time. it was the master bathroom and i spilled the stain on the floor. i was horrified! it cleaned up well on the tile but not so much on the grout. with that i think i used some turpentine and it never fully came off but i always look at it and it's not noticeable at all. good luck with your clean up! you can also call a tile place and they may have something or suggestions for you.

Crud. I just typed a whole bunch of stuff and then realized I wasn't signed in. Lost it all, not retyping it. Mom covered my suggestion (dawn and water) I'll call soon. Just got back tonight.
