Amazing timing on this one. We just had our backsplash tile redone in our kitchen as part of a larger remodeling project and there are two or three small spots in the white grout that turned out grey for some reason. We are considering touching it up with a grout pen and found your video quite helpful. Thank you! :)
I used this today on our tile floor in the kitchen, that has white grout in between the tiles. It did an amazing job and now looks soooo much better! It looks almost like new grout, which makes me very very happy. It feels so much better to look at the floor and not see dingy grout, but what looks almost like a new floor. Thank you for the close up when you did the grout, because I was concerned it might not look natural. Once I saw that it does not make it look like I went over it with enamel or something, I decided to give it a try and am so glad I did.
unfortunately I dudn’t seal it, and it didn’t last. After only a couple washes it was dingy again. BUT I saw a video by a pro cleaner who said you should always vaccim your floor before washing because its left behind particles /dust we can’t see, still on the floor after using a broom , that causes the floor grout to get so dirty … He said its happening gradually when we wash the floor because the particles we can’t see are getting in the grout as we wash it. Also, alkaline cleaners are best on cement type grouts.
I removed grey paint from my white bathroom tiles today but the paint didn't come off the grooves making it look dirty when its not, this pen will be a life saver 🙂
I find the best thing for cleaning grout, especially if it's a bit mouldy, is dilute Domestos. Mix some in a spray bottle about 25%, spray on and leave as long as you can, even overnight, and then rinse off. If it's really bad around the the bath, use neat Domestos and toilet tissue to keep it in contact. Works wonders. Not my idea, I got it from Skill Builder who has videos on here.
I swear to god my phone is listening to me. Wife mentioned this last night, this came into the home feed today. Ordered both straight away. Thanks Dr Jake.
After your video last week about recommendations, I thought it might be worth mentioning this is the first video I've seen on my home page of yours for a long time ago, not sure if it's relevant as I'm a subscriber but thought it noteworthy
Just for your interest, I searched “grout pen” on Google and you’re video was the 3rd of 3 featured in my search results. I have been subscribed for a long time but UA-cam hasn't recommended one of your videos for ages (they will now of course). UA-cam recommendations have become so boring that I am going to the extreme trouble of clicking on my subscriber tab now.
Hahaha, curious whether this video will be the new hit :-). Condidering the grout in the bathroom. This is usually dirty because of fungus and chalky water, both can be quite quickly cleaned with similar products of HG; no need to scrub a lot on that case. Only when you leave it for loooong time, you need the more stronger grout-cleaner you suggested. Thanks for the tip of the pen, definitely can try it on some spots :)
I am thinking of grouting My bathroom tiles as there horribly stained from hard water from the electric shower, but I don't shop online. Is the pen avilible in UK stores like BnQ?
Good to see nother video, Jake. Out of interest, out of all the videos you have made, whitch topics get the most views? Sad to say, I never watch the Lego ones. Never really got into the stuff. But eatch to their own. Looking forward to the next video. Hope you increase the release rate soon. Would love to become a Patreon, or Join. Take Care.
Grout pens are a quick fix, and quick fixes never last, you know that mould on your grout? yes its IN the grout not on it, all these pens do is put a temporary band aid over the top until the mould comes through again, tile grout is an absorbent substance, thats how mould grows in it in the first place, the grout needs to be sealed up, and guess what a tin of dulux water based white paint will work perfect when thinned down.
Those pens are a gimmick and bad value for money. What you're looking for is Everbuild Forever White Grout Reviver. Be sure to wipe off the excess of the tiles after you've used a sponge.
Why are you going The same direction as The wall, you need to go The other way so that there is no resistance! The way you applied the marker is wrong!
To whoever is reading this Jesus loves you and he’s coming soon. All you need to do to be saved is believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins was buried and came back to life on the 3d day confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and you’ll be saved. Today is the day of salvation tomorrow is not promised and you don’t want to miss the rapture it will be so bad like nothing ever seen before on earth. God bless
lol lockdowns getting to me watching how to restore grout

When you mentioned a while ago you were thinking of doing this I was interested and it didn’t disappoint.

I used the grey one in the bathroom . I love how it turned out . Great vid btw
Thanks Jake, that was great!
I hadn't really considered my grout, until today.
No worries!
you can get brush attachments for drills if you want to use the grout cleaner and don't fancy scrubbing too much :)

you may want to be sure it won't eat at the grout first
Very helpful thanks. I bought a few grey pens for my bathroom so will have a go this afternoon!

When I add a tile I simply go over the old areas with the same grout. Quick and simple ;)
I bought the same product for ny kichen floors.
It’s a fantastic product.
God video.
I'm glad to see you found something to post on in these "trying times".
I've watched weirder stuff, but not much weirder.

Hmm I might give this a go in my bathroom - we are hoping to get them redone in a year or so - if I mess up it won't matter too much.

Hehe, let's see! Somehow, I suspect this video is more likely to be a slow burner
I used white spraypaint from poundland. Any excess paint on the tiles i scraped off with ease. Its worked wonderfully
Wow!
How is it now?
Thank You ! My bathroom needs it❤❤❤
Great voice! You've sold it to me!!
Thank you for explaining this clearly.
For whitening maybe a combination of both. Use the cleaner to remove most of the staining then the grout pen would add the final sparkle.
What are you lefty? May it works better if you're right handed?
Does this work if we want to change silver grey grout color to white given that grout is new and we just want to change color?
Okay, so I scrub it first, then paint it with this pen. Do I need to seal it aftward too?
Looking forward to how this video will perform 😁
Hmmm, I've been thinking of doing this, I've been wanting to change the grout color in my kitchen.
Will this go over painted grout?

I've never seen it, but I'm sure you must be able to buy an equivalent product
@@DrJakesVeryBritishReviews I'll have to look into it, I hate the way My Grout looks.
I recommend you use white tile paint and a small brush. This makes it easily wipeable and you only have to do it once.
Instead of the grout pen? Does it wipe away if you scrub a bit over it later for cleaning?
I really wanna do this for my parents' but just got a feeling it will take a good 2-3 hours to do properly
how do you clean it if you do go out of the line and onto the tiles?

Does the colorant also seal the grout?
Thank you so much wish you blessings

Where did that piece of art come from? It is a still-life painted by a family member?
This channel is so random. One day you make Lego video’s and the other you make a video about how to clean your tiles. Lol
Thank you so much
Bloody ideal!
Seems an economical way of freshening grout.
How many pens did you use for all the kitchen grout?
2. And I would buy a third just in case the nibs wear out.
I think I been scammed on ebay any chance you can give me some help
Pen scam advert causing old video to go viral?
Drink every time Jake says NIB.
I don't have any grout in this apartment

Hate to tell you but white vinegar is the best grout cleaner, and it’s the cheapest!
Bought some Chinese grout pen. It was just dry AF 😖🤦♂️
Why are you going The same direction as The wall, you need to go The other way so that there is no resistance! The way you applied the marker is wrong!
Much as I love you Doc, and droll whimsy is my schtick, I have no interest in grouting
Just wanted you to know that the scam Groutshine pen played just before this video lol
Calm it down a bit, mate! Your content is getting far too 'hi-octane' lately! ;-)
not work at all..waisting money £2.99
