Grout Refresh - 8oz. Bottle (White)

Exceptional product, one of the only that actually lasts in high traffic areas like floors. It is not easy to work with - it’s basically very sticky paint, not a slurry/peanut butter consistency like actual grout. That means it will get everywhere and you’ll have a lot of scrubbing to do. The results are worth the effort though. If you’re doing large format tiles, save yourself some trouble and just mask off everything except the grout line with tape but if you’ve got lots of little tile or mosaics then skip the tape and send it. For cleanup, I found I saved a ton of time with baby wipes and mr clean magic eraser instead of just water and a sponge. Lay it down (I use a silicone caulk spatula), get it worked into the grout joints, let it sit 20 mins, give the top of the tile a gentle pass with the baby wipes to soften the dried excess and then hit it with the magic eraser. I use the grooved ones to avoid digging into the grout joints, just be careful not to press too hard and drag it out of the joints. Practice a few times before tackling a big section. If you have a porous surface like honed natural marble, it will soak into the pores. Seal the tile before applying the grout refresh! The part you really want to know is whether it lasts - my marble mosaic bathroom floor with white cementitious grout had its lines constantly turned orange from dead skin, moisture and general wear. I applied this 6+ months ago and it still looks brand new. Zero complaints and it’s the only paint style option I’ve ever used that lasts like this. It also seals the existing grout nicely and makes it less prone to collect gunk.

MALO. No llega el producto....

Love this stuff. It colors and seals grout. I've used it to refresh old stained grout. I've used it to color match and seal new grout. I've used it to change the color of a grout (dark grey to bright white took 2-3 coats). It works great! And it keeps grout looking new for years. I've had some applications that are over 5 years old that are still going strong and looking good. It is a bit of a labor of love to apply this. You have to be on the floor, crouched, while you paint it onto the grout with great detail. I use a child's toothbrush for this. As you have to scrub it in and make sure it soaks into the grout to get the seal. Then before it completely dries, you need to wipe off the excess with a damp rag. If you can't dedicate some time and energy to do this, then I wouldn't recommend trying. It's very labor intensive, detailed, and tedious work. I tried to hire people to help but after they found out what they would be doing, they declined! I ended up doing it all myself...a little at a time, a room at a time. I've done every room in the house. On the floor. On counter tops. On back spashes. In the bathroom. Just excellent. Can't argue with the results!

I might have to update this later, time will tell if this stuff sticks around. We have a chalk like substance between our very uneven kitchen tiles, who put that there....no one knows, but they stink. Since we are renting, the ol' tear it out and do it the right way will simply not do. I asked, they said no. So I bought this stuff, applied it and used a razor to skim the areas where it needed a little extra help keeping on the area where the grout should be. It made clean lines, really nice, however, it dried too fast in some areas and had to be put down again since it peeled up a little. Would love to see it work on grout that is not chalky, Im sure it's great. There is nothing like a nice clean grout line.

I bought the eggshell color, which showed as a bright white that didn't work for my tile. I was able to return this product with no questions asked, in exchange for a biscuit color that looks much better. This product appears to be good quality. However, applying it to my sanded and uneven tile grout is difficult, as it was gloppy and sloppy coming from the tip. Neither of the suggested application methods work well. I have to use a small paintbrush to get even coverage, which is slow and extremely tedious; a horrible job if you have a large bathroom. I am experimenting with adding a homemade applicator tip to speed things up. I also hope that product durability doesn't become an issue as is all too common with grout paints and refreshers. I won't go through this process again.
