How To Make Your Grout Look Brand New.


After living in our house for three years and trying every option under the sun to try to clean the grout in the hallway bathroom, I stumbled across this blog post from Young House Love and boy, am I glad I did!  

I spread this project out over a few days so I didn't get totally burnt out on it. It was super easy - just clean your grout with a rag/brush and soap, let it dry, then paint on the grout renew with a paintbrush that you probably already have lying around your house! Have a cloth or tissue handy to quickly wipe up any mistakes (there will be). 

This Grout Renew can be found at your local Home Depot for $11.97 and is available in a large amount of colors.

Over halfway done!
This was also the day that I discovered (by hearing running water) that we had a pipe burst under the house. 
Fun. 


 BEFORE / AFTER
Enjoy your sparkling, new grout!

  8. I've been meaning to do this for forever! I remember wishing I had the materials when it snowed in Columbia and we couldn't leave the house. Hopefully seeing it again will spur me on.

  11. It looks like cleaning out the grout required a lot of work. But everything looks good, so it still ended on a good note. As for discovering the busted pipe, at least you’re now aware of it, and can take the necessary precautions and repairs. Anyway, thanks for sharing this with us. All the best!
