Change the Color of Your Porcelain Wood Tile Grout

Change the Color of Your Porcelain Wood Tile Grout

If you have porcelain wood tile and you don’t like the color of your grout, you don’t have to keep it. You can change the color of the grout, which can transform the whole look of your floor and room. The color of your grout can change the entire feel, vibe, and theme of a room. You can make your room look vintage, bold, modern, classic, uniform, etc.

All you have to do is use Grout Shield’s color sealer and squeeze it into the grout lines, like mustard on a hot dog! Then you take you fingers and spread and pull the color sealer across grout lines and tiles. Your grout color will transform from the old color and into the new color.

Using color sealer is an easy way to change grout color. It not only changes the color but it also seals the grout, so the grout is protected from stains, liquids, mold, mildew, and more. The grout sealer is great for refreshing your current grout color or changing the grout color entirely.

The color sealer is a penetrating sealer designed to revitalize and restore the desired color to your grout, or it can help you change the color. At Grout Shield, we can help you change your grout color to any color you choose! read more

Is Sealing Your Grout Really Needed?

Is Sealing Your Grout Really Needed?

In short, yes, if you want your grout protected year-round. Grout is porous – think about your grout lines as like sponges all around your floors or backsplashes or showers. Being sponge-like, grout absorbs everything it comes in contact with like dirt, mold, mildew, liquids, debris, and more. That milk you spilled? The grout sucked it up. The mud your kids tracked in. The grout absorbed it. The puddle of pee from your dog? The grout is full of it.

Now, if your grout lines were covered by a grout sealer, the spills, dirt, and so on, wouldn’t absorb into the grout. They would sit on the sealer. The grout sealer protects the grout as it creates a protective seal.

However, if your grout is epoxy grout, it does not need to be sealed. Only cement-based grout should be sealed. Epoxy grout is made up of epoxy resins, epoxy hardeners, and sand/aggregate fillers. Epoxy grout isn’t porous so it will not absorb anything. Epoxy grout is easier to clean than other types of grout. However, epoxy grout is more expensive and harder to install. read more

How to Color Seal Pitted Tile

How to Color Seal Pitted Tile

What is pitted tile? Pitted tile has a rough surface and texture – it is not smooth and sleek feeling or looking. Can this tile’s grout be sealed? It can.

By using Grout Shield’s brush applicator and Grout Shield’s color sealer, you can recolor and seal the pitted tile. Just squeeze the color sealer into the applicator all over the tile and grout lines and into the pits of the tile. Then, take your hand and spread the excess around and make sure it’s filling all the pits. Then, you take a moist chamois and white off the excess in circular motions.  Finally, seal it off with a clear grout sealer. You can transform your darkened pitted tiles to a brighter color that is more uniform and clean looking.

The color sealer is a penetrating sealer designed to revitalize and restore the desired color to your grout and pitted tile.

Grout Shield’s color sealer is a colorant and sealer all in one. It will change the look of your tile while also protecting it. It can even make the pits look smaller and less pronounced. read more

How to Clean Your Dirty Grout in Just Minutes

How to Clean Your Dirty Grout in Just Minutes

Do you have dirty grout? Have you tried cleaning it? Does it not change? Do you scrub and scrub and nothing happens? Cleaning grout can be tough, but it doesn’t have to be – not with the right grout cleaner!

Grout is porous. It traps and absorbs all sorts of things including water, dirt, mold, mildew, and more. Remember that chocolate milk your son dropped on the floor last week? Likely, the grout sucked it up – even more likely if your grout isn’t sealed. Over time, the grout will change color and darken due to all the things it is absorbing, which makes your grout look dirty.

Regular household cleaners aren’t strong enough to clean the grout – many of these cleaners are too harsh and can break the grout. With the right grout cleaner, your tile and grout can look like new again in minutes!

Grout Shield’s grout and tile cleaner lifts tough stains from grout. It is easy to use, and you won’t have to scrub for hours. It is ph-balanced and safe to use on tile and grout. If you want to change the color of the grout, Grout Shield’s color sealer can be easily applied to grout and change your grout color in minutes! You’ll never know your grout had a stain! The color sealer will not stick to the tile only the grout. read more
