Review on Mapei Grout Refresh Colorant And Sealer: Grout Paint And Sealant - 8 Ounce Bottle by Kevin Taharka

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works best in building materials

Finished product looks fantastic after application, like new mortar. Works great even on stubborn stains. The trick is in the right application. I've tried two methods, both with a small brush. The first method (as suggested by the manufacturer) was to apply the grout to the grout with a small brush, leaving marks around the edges of the tile, leave to set for about an hour, then spray with water mist and wash off the tiles after 5 minutes. Most of the time this worked well, but sometimes removing the stains from the tile also removed some of the stains from the grout. So to fix it I had to gently apply a small amount back onto the grout with a small brush. The second method was to apply and clean the tile immediately, leaving only the stain on the grout. It took longer and was a bit messy, but I didn't have to spend time cleaning the tiles and making corrections if necessary. I find that both methods took about the same amount of time to complete the job.

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
