Cleaning certain areas of the bathroom can be a chore, especially when it comes to stained grout.
Grout is an essential part of every bathroom, as it fills the spaces between the tiles.
Because of its porous nature, it can be a breeding ground for bacteria, germs, mold and mildew.
Many people don’t even realize their grout is dirty until it becomes discolored and turns red or dark brown.
For those who just can’t seem to get their grout clean with vinegar and baking soda, but don’t want to go through the trouble of routing, there’s another option.
“It offers a simple application process without special skills or tools. It improves the appearance of the tiles and provides a protective barrier against future stains and discoloration by restoring the original color of the grout with long-lasting results.”
How to use the injection pen
Before you begin, thoroughly cleaning your grout lines is an “important first step.” Scrub the grout with a brush or an old toothbrush to make sure it’s as clean as possible, then wipe the tiles with a cloth to dry completely.
Before using the pen, be sure to shake it well to mix the ink evenly. Press it with a paper towel a couple of times until the ink starts to run.
Ryan noted that the pen’s fine nib is “designed for precise application,” so you can control where the ink goes and avoid getting it on your tiles. For best results, apply even pressure and move steadily along the grout.
Allow the ink to dry completely before touching or cleaning the area, which usually takes about four hours. Also avoid contact with water during this time.
The grout pen’s ink is designed to be “long-lasting and smudge-resistant,” so you can enjoy a clean, refreshed look “for months to come.”
It also acts as a grout sealer that helps prevent incoming moisture and “protects against mold”.
