My husband and I discovered this product a few years ago. We painted the grout in our bathroom first which took a really long time. My husband decided that he would find an easier way where we didn’t have to be as careful when painting it on. He instead used painters tape to block off the lines. This worked amazingly and cut the time to complete our kitchen floor to less than half of the time it had taken to complete our small bathroom. Thought I would share! It’s amazing, my bathroom and kitchen still look great! I’ve even painted the caulking around my tub to match. I recommend this product to people all the time!

Hi. I saw your post via Pinterest and immediately used this product. (We had 3 different colors of grout in the kitchen, so it had to happen. Now it looks great!) I have one question for you. What product do you use to clean your floors? The one I had been using on that tile I think is solvent based, and I don’t trust it on the recolored grout. Any recommendations?

Thanks for the post. You saved my bacon!

Blessings,

I used this product about 7 or 8 years ago and it started to look dirty in a few places. I also had build up of a previous sealer that I decided to remove while I was refreshing the floor. The sealer remover hardly marred the previously painted grout. I put a new coat of sealer down (your choice either matte or glossy) before I touched up the grout. It makes it easier to tidy up the slate when you go “out of the lines.” I did add a second layer of sealer after I touched up the grout just to be sure that the slate was sealed.

I have a cat who tends to have a sensitive stomach and sometimes vomits up food or hairballs. I wanted to be sure that this would not penetrate through to the slate or grout. Yes, it is time consuming, but the results are definitely worth it.

When I did this originally, I didn’t like any of the three choices I had so I mixed all three together and got a great result. I did save the left overs from several years ago. It was still in usable condition and made being able to touch it up very easy. It was mainly in the high traffic areas that I did the retouching.

How is the grout renew holding up? I’m thinking about using it in my guest bathroom.

Hi Sherry and John! I’ve shared this article multiple times and am finally about to tackle this project! If you’re looking for an idea for a post, could you please provide an update as to how your floor’s looking now and specify how often you plan to seal and how? :) Thanks!!

Excellent work you did on your tile. I think you did the right thing, cleaning it up first before applying that grout renew thing. That way, it will be stickier and will last longer. Your tile might still look muddy if you put it immediately, though. Nice recommendation!
