How To Refresh Dirty Grout

How to Refresh Dirty Grout

Dirty, tired grout is one of my pet peeves.  I love the look of tile.  There are quite a few benefits to installing tile versus other flooring.  However, if the grout looks grungy, I feel like it ruins the whole look of the room.  I’ve tried lots of tips and tricks to brighten my dirty grout.  It just never quite looks as gorgeous as it did when it was brand new.

This just looks dirty to me.  So, I was considering regrouting my whole laundry room.  It’s an entry way so its a high-traffic area that is wet mopped often.  The wet mop is the problem.  It just pushes dirty water into the grout.  So, while I looking for grouting ideas, I found this baby:
grout refresh color biscuit universal grout colorant and sealant on a white background in a white bottle

It’s a MUCH easier option than completely re-grouting the entire room!  It’s a grout paint that’s super easy to apply and withstands lots of traffic and wet mops.

It comes in a bunch of different colors so I took a guess and went with “Biscuit.”  Turns out it matches my tile perfectly.  Score!

Grout Refresh SUPPLY LIST:

Refresh (8 oz bottle was plenty for this small room)
Spray Bottle
Toothbrush
Small Paintbrush
Paper Towels

Before applying, I cleaned the floor to make sure nothing would get stuck in the paint.  Next, I got a towel to cushion my knees, an old toothbrush, and a small kid’s paintbrush for the tight spaces.   I started with the grout paint in the far corner, ending in the doorway to the kitchen.

I used the old toothbrush to really get the paint into the grout.  After the paint was applied, I had to wait a few minutes for it to dry.  Next, worked in sections with a spray bottle of water and a paper towel.  The instructions say to spray the tile with water, let it sit for 30 seconds, and then wipe excess paint away with a paper towel.  It came off easily and looks perfect.

This isn’t the first time paint has saved the day.  Refreshing my grout is just one way – check out my IKEA print facelift that ended up being part of my “Bathroom Brightening” project.
