I am reviewing this color since this is what I used. You can find other reviews on another color.
This product was amazing! Very easy to apply, it is time consuming, but works fantastic.
This is what I used it for:
Bought a home w/30 year old tile grout that was stained and yucky! Mildew stains, food stains...you name it. The surrounding tile was well glazed.
Bought a home w/30 year old tile grout that was stained and yucky! Mildew stains, food stains...you name it. The surrounding tile was well glazed.
This is how I used it:
I applied one line at a time w/a toothbrush and/or a paintbrush. (If the stain was really bad, the toothbrush would leave streak marks so I would smooth the finished texture over with a small paintbrush).
I applied one line at a time w/a toothbrush and/or a paintbrush. (If the stain was really bad, the toothbrush would leave streak marks so I would smooth the finished texture over with a small paintbrush).
I tried to "clean up" the excess in 2 ways. First, I let it dry then used a razor blade to scrape off the dried paint from the glazed tile--very time consuming and a pain so don't do this method, just so you know, it will scrape up from glazed tile though.
Then I got smarter and would wipe along each line with a papertowel and it would come right up.
I allowed the countertop to set and dry for 24 hours and still didn't get them wet or use them for 72 hours total.

The finished product is nothing short of a miracle! The kitchen looks brand new!
This is a paint (cover all) and a sealant...there is no need to seal afterwards. The instructions recommened using an acid cleaner on the grout before applying...I just used softscrub and dried it really well. There is no lifting, peeilng, or cracking. If I remember, I will try to update this review or add another in a couple of years time to show how it has held up. Another reviewer on another color said he did his years ago and it still looks perfect.
It is not an expensive product and 1 bottle did my entire kitchen (which is on the larger size). Just get a toothbrush (not a fancy one w/ridges) and a small/cheap paint brush. I poured the grout renew out on a plastic baggie each time. Washes right off your hands, but it did NOT wash out of my cotton t-shirt.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Read Plauefighters review.
Works very well. Easy to apply but tedious. It's painting within grout lines of course it's monotonous. But looks fantastic. It is a sealant too. It matches the Deloran Gray sanded caulk almost perfectly. It fix a splotchy grout issue, beat scraping out the grout and starting over.
Yes, I recommend this product.

After we finished tiling a backsplash in our kitchen (travertine mosaic with antique white grout) we realized that we had chosen a grout color that didn't complement our tile as much as we'd hoped (we should have gone with the recommended linen color). The grout stain has allowed us to both color and seal the grout to the shade that we should have used initially.
Thankfully we had sealed the travertine with several coats of sealer before putting it up. It has been a little trying to stain the grout lines and wipe off the excess before it begins to adhere to the surface of the tile. I can only toothbrush on about 4" to 8" at a time and then wipe the excess off carefully. But it sure beats being stuck with the wrong grout! The manufacturer suggested spraying some windex on a cloth and wiping down the surface after 10-15 minutes to make sure that any remnant color wouldn't cloud the tile. It's slow going but it looks great. And now, as it's done, it's done.

I read the reviews first and determined a small craft paintbrush would work best. I poured some in the cap and painted it on my clean but stained grout (spilled black paint once) it took 2 coats but it looks like the day the floor was installed. I will see how it holds up before I do the kitchen and bathroom but my small entryway is gorgeous!!
Yes, I recommend this product.

When I moved into my rental house, I thought the grout in the kitchen and bathroom floors were tinted. Then I moved something away from the wall and discovered the grout there to be the standard light gray...and immediately got disgusted because what I thought was tint...was dirt! (yuck) No amount of scrubbing or mopping helped me. Then I read about this and thought I would give it a try! It's nothing short of a miracle! I got the antique white which is a perfect light color...not too stark white and not cream color but just in between.
First I cleaned the grout with Zep grout cleaner and whitener and let that dry overnight. I used a child's toothbrush to apply this, but cut off the outside rows of bristles to make it more narrow. This is painstaking work, especially if you have a large floor...my muscles ached for days afterwards from stooping and bending. But it's so worth it!
One bottle is all I needed, this surprised me because it's not a big bottle. However, you need to use such a small amout...less is more! The less you squirt into the grout line...the less you'll need to wipe off the tile :)
Pros: Easy to Install, Looks Great, Effective

I was very skeptical but after reading several reviews I thought I would take a shot on this product. It is time consuming to apply but that is because you have to work in very small areas at a time. But the time is MORE than worth it. I had a pure white grout that after 16 years looked very dirty and did not even resemble the original color. After applying this product everyone thought we had new floors installed. Now the test will be if it holds up long term but so far it is performing OUTSTANDING. I would highly recommend this product but be prepared to spend a lot of time on your knees with a small tooth brush! LOL! Very happy and go on line to get the color you need if they don't stock it in store. We had to go that way as the Ultra Pure White was not stocked in store. We are going to tackle the bathrooms next with the same product but different color.
Pros: Looks Great, Looks High End, Effective
Yes, I recommend this product.

My husband had to regrout some areas of our bathroom floor which left different shades of grout color. We used the grout renew to even out the color and the floor looks like new. We have more than enough left over to do our other bathroom. Great price!! Previous buyers recommended using a toothbrush-that was great advice.

...just the right width for our grout lines. 12x12 white tiles with wavy edges (= wavy grout lines!)and bumpy texture (Florida Tile)-easy to apply, just took work to keep it off the tile-it dries very fast. We cleaned the grout beforehand with Zep to get off 16 years of gunk and let dry for a day. It's only been a week so I can't comment on durability but it literally looks like a new floor-this color looks like the original grout color which no matter how much we scrubbed, was not coming back. Very, very pleased-only regret is that we should have done this years ago. I can't imagine what a company would charge to do this, but we did about 300 square feet of tile and didn't even use a whole bottle of the Grout Renew. Get It!
Pros: Looks Great
Yes, I recommend this product.

I wanted to change the look of the tile in our Master Ensuite, but we're waiting a year or so before we do a upgrade and didn't want to spend a lot of money. We had a "tan" color, and I used "Snow White" to brighten the floors.
I read the reviews, prepped the floor (basic sweeping and mopping with a wet rag, didn't buy any other product) and used a travel tooth brush and MOIST rag to clean up during the process.
I started off 1 line at a time, but found that if I didn't wait more than a minute, I could easily apply product to 2sq ft at a time and wipe clean with the rag after, all over the grout line and tile. My tiles are ceramic, which could be why it was easy to clean.
I washed the rag numerous times to get the product off of it.
It probably took me a total of 2 hours with cleaning, organizing, applying and cleaning up after for a 4x10 ft area. I was not trying to be a perfectionist, however, my husband saw the finished grout tile (he had no idea I was even "re-grouting") and thinks the floor looks great.
Bottom line: great product for quick jobs, without worrying about perfection, and people who see it think the floor looks great!

The natural gray grout renew is the 2nd color that I've used to restore some pretty nasty looking grout.
On the first project, I used the haystack grout renew to restore the 12x12 tiles in a rather small bathroom. This natural gray was used on 12x12 inch tiles, in a 10x12 sq. ft. kitchen. Both projects were color changes, from the original grout color, and the final results are just outstanding.
Both floors have 1/8" grout lines, and a kid's toothbrush works perfectly, for applying the grout renew.
In places where the original grout line is a little narrower than the toothbrush, you might get traces on the edge of the tile. The grout renew dries fairly quickly, so keep a 'slightly' dampened sponge handy, to clean up any grout spillover on the edge of the tile.
All-in-all, this Polyblend grout renew is just plain great stuff, and I highly recommend this product.
Pros: Easy to Install, Looks Great, Effective
Yes, I recommend this product.

the grout in my kitchen was originally off-white and got dirty very quickly. after 10 years, it was beyond cleaning. this product is amazing and is very easy to apply but it does take time. the results are nothing but AMAZING!
i will be doing all of the grout in my house with this product so i will never have to clean grout again. (it changes the grout color and seals it at the same time)

I previously spent hundreds of dollars having my tile grout "renewed." The renewal was only fair and did not last a long time. Then I found this product. it is fabulous. Pick the right color and you are all set. You will love the finished product and your grout will be restored to new. I strongly recommend using painters' tape to help keep the excess solution off of the tile. It takes a bit longer this way, but you will save time in the end because if you don't use painters' tape, you will have to spend a lot of time cleaning the excess product off of the tile. The best thing to use for the application is a tooth brush. Some recommend a child's tooth brush, but I find that an adult tooth brush works better. This is a great find at a great price!
Pros: Very Adhesive, High Quality of Material, Easy to Install, Looks Great, Effective
Cons: time consuming to apply but certainaly doable
Yes, I recommend this product.

PostedJuly 1, 2010
We put a tile floor down and the grout I chose turned out to be way too light. After coming to the conclusion that I would just have to live with this, my husband went to Home Depot to ask if there was anything we could do other than take all the grout out. The salesman recommended this product. Wow, what a great product. It was time consuming painting each tile line with an artist brush but when I was done the grout was the color I wanted and you cannot tell that I painted the grout lines on. And this product also seals the grout line. I would highly recommend this product especially if you made a mistake with the grout color.
Yes, I recommend this product.

As some other reviewers noted the color samples appear more of a tan color but the actual color is antique white. We tried it on a small section and while it will be a lot of work the color works great. We just need to go back and get a darker color to match our tile (and hide dirt more)
We also tried one of the pens which was a little easier to install.
Pros: Looks Great
Cons: Difficult to Install
Yes, I recommend this product.

I had expected to be able to just wipe this into the grout easily, but that was not the case. I started on the side of my fireplace, did one square and quit. My rough tile probably complicated it as well. I would only recommend this for extremely smooth, non porous tile, otherwise it stains the tile as well.
No, I do not recommend this product.

I put down new tile in our bathroom and after grouting'decided that the grout was way too light for the tile. I was NOT looking forward to removing and regrouting. After a little internet research,I came across this product. While it was a pain doing the fine (1/8 inch) grout line,it looks amazing! I used a fine paint brush and kept a wet rag handy for wiping off the excess on the tile itself. The new tile joib looks much better now!
Pros: Looks Great, Easy to Clean

Consistency of a thick latex paint, dries very fast. Instructions read "apply to small area, wipe off as you work". Well, it dries very fast, I ended up wiping off the "paint/grout sealer" I applied, complete waste of time, the new grout I applied looked better before using this product, for me, my personal suggestion, I would never again use this based on my experience. Complete waste of time and money for me.
Cons: Difficult to Install, same as latex paint in my opinion, dries very quickly hard to clean tiles
No, I do not recommend this product.
