You will may have to purchase the diamond core bit in addition to the drill rental fee.

Krud Cutter looks like a cleaner, where as the Grout Refresh product is a stain/colorant and sealer that matches the Mapei grout color product line.
KC sounds like a great step 1 to clean, with Grout Refresh (or Custom Building Products’ version) being step 2 for getting the color where you want it.

There isn’t really a fix for that. Only thing you could use is a wood putty that best matches the color. There are little 2oz jars of this stuff at box stores like Lowe’s or Home Depot.

Maybe not at a hardware store, but certainly at a construction equipment rental business.

Reply to Need advice on patching a chip in paint by tomcass240
That looks like it could be a thermofoil finish. Sanding, priming and painting can be done. There is a company you can send the door to that will fix it.
Zinser and a high quality paint should do it. There are also special primers and paints that you can use to repair melamine and I have had pretty good results with that.
You will never get one piece to match the rest, so be prepared to paint all of the cabinets.

This is one of those problems in life that is cheaper to just buy new* drilling granite is hard to do, it's going to be even harder to stay on Center with the existing hole.
There's no cheap way to do what you're talking about. Just buy the weights, unless you really really really want granite weights. Counter stores that deals in granite might be able to help you, but keep in mind if you drop them they're going to break.

I have a handheld, and borrow a non-handheld if i have to.
The handheld is one of the variants you find if you search amazon for "handheld steam cleaner". There are a few real companies there (dupray, etc), and the rest is everyone selling the same mass-produced models.
I have one of those :)
If you are trying to steam clean cement grout, then using something larger because it will take a bunch of steam pressure to clean it.
For a non-cement grout, it's usually just stuff stuck on top, so it takes a lot less steam to get anywhere. Just enough heat + pressure to unstick it. Which is easy for a handheld.

Basically any steam cleaner that uses a pressurized boiler and has a fine nozzle attachment will work. Something like this: https://www.mccullochsteam.com/shop/steam-cleaners/mc1275-canister-steam-cleaner
The smaller handheld versions work, too, but if you’re doing a whole room you definitely want the biggest pressure vessel you can get.

You could run the duct thru the garage to exterior wall and terminate it there.

For bathrooms in my house, I love rollout vinyl now. It's cheap, easy, 100% waterproof and super comfortable.

They rent out diamond core drills? Lol. Guess it’s worth a check

What steam cleaner do you use? The type I'm picturing is confusing me with this application

A hydrogen peroxide cleanser won't risk etching the grout. But before peroxide cleaners came along people just mixed bleach and water and went to town with a brush.
The fact of the concrete is irrelevant.

You could try renting a better drill from your local hardware store?

Schluter Ditra. Set this right over top and put down a tile you like over top.

Buy a small brass brush. Use a thin line along the grout line. Use enough to barely cover. Gently brush for a bit. Wipe clean with a rag. Test a spot first.

Toilet bowl cleaner and a toothbrush… don’t question it, but it works wonders

Good idea generally but this branch is too crooked. There is only one point resting to wall completely.
