Okay! As I was surfing Pinterest the other day I came across a blurb about cleaning grout. For the Floridians here that have a lot if tile it seems like there is a constant battle of keeping our grout clean. I have been known to either let it go( which doesn't make me or the hubby happy), pay a lot of money to clean it ( and be dirty from two kids and two dogs a day later), or be on my hands and knees for a week scrubbing to be dirty again by the time I finish an area! Well, after checking out many reviews I decided to try this stuff called Polyblend Grout Renew. I found it at my local Home Depot and it comes in many colors. For mine I tried Antique White. I'll be honest... When I started it was such a drastic change it looked like I was just painting over it, but as I finished, it looked amazing! It was like a brand new floor! Here are some pictures of the process. See for yourself and I quote my daughters reaction.."so when are you going to do the rest of the house?!?"
Here is a video to show how I applied it....
Quilled Ballet, Dancer I wanted to try something challenging and I saw a picture of a ballerina that I thought might be the one. Well, here it is....I used a combination of beehive and regular quilling. This is in honor of my daughter turning 13 today! Happy Birthday!!! Quilled Ballerina Quilled Ballerina
It is not two years later, how did it hold up? I am looking at doing this in our kitchen!
ReplyDeleteHi Kayla- somehow I missed your comment! It has indeed been two years and I'm glad I did it. Dirt still builds up in the grout, but it's so much easier to clean than before. It also has helped with spills in the kitchen and doggie mishaps. I just simply wipe them up and my grout doesn't stain like it did. It acts like a sealant...I'm curious. Did you try it,too? Let me know if you did what you thought. 😀
Deletedoes it stay white? thanks
ReplyDeleteIt gets dirt build up like normal, but it's so much easier to clean with less scrubbing. I'm so glad I did mine! It's a pain initially to do, but love it!
