That's quite norm from majority of the contractors. It is either they are ignorant, or they are lazy.

Tumpang thread. My kitchen wall tiles are white, so we used white grout. Now, we looked and a lot of the grout lines have turned yellow or dirty as work was still done after they've applied the white grout. What can be done about this? Re-grout?

Maybe try washing them using a new tooth brush. It is mostly the dust from the ongoing renovation works
