MAPEI UltraCare Grout Refresh, Universal Grout Colorant & Sealer, 8 oz Bottle – Easy Grout Restoration & Protection, 5010 Black

This is amazing stuff, I love this brand. tried different brands, but this is the best. My house is 20 years old, with tile floors. I wanted to replace the tile floors about 1200 feet of tile. Instead I repainted the grout see how it would look. The tiles look brand new. The floor looks bright, clean and appealing II is esay to apply, took me 4 weeks to complete the whole house. Works so well, I have now done my 2 daughters house too.

Great on black grout! Had to use a few coats but it was such an improvement. Easy to use, initially tried alabaster color but it was too light. The warm grey was perfect for the off white and light grey tiles made a huge impact. Bathroom looks new.

Pretty easy to use, a little bit goes a long way, and results look fantastic. Re-did the grout in a high use half bath and am very happy with the results. I will say that it’s a tedious job, takes awhile, and you’ll be sore after crouching on the ground painting grout for hours! But-worth it.

Coverage was high quality but it does leave a different grout texture than typical. Goes on and has a dried paint consistency.

After twelve years, two puppies, two teenagers and all their friends tromping through the kitchen and dining room, my grouted tile floors were an eyesore! I considered ripping up the tile and putting down something new. I dreaded the noise, dust, and cost the project would have caused. I ran across this product while trying to pick out new tile and grout for a master bathroom remodel. I bought a bottle at my local home improvement store. The results were fabulous! The coverage and ease of use is incredible. My tile floors look brand new.I applied the product with a children's toothbrush. After the product dried, about 30 minutes, I went back and used a washcloth and Dawn soap to remove any grout refresh color that had got onto the tile. It came up easily from the tile, while staying adhered to the grout.This is an awesome product that saved me thousands of dollars. Depending on the size of your project, it is labor intensive, but so well worth it!Hint: I would make sure that you test the color before applying it in a large section. Colors can be tricky in different lights. I am an interior designer and had to try three colors before finding the perfect match for my tastes.Second, be sure you have knee pads or a low stool. I had a knee pad but found my knees and lower back ached for days after the project. However, I still thought the end results were worth the pain:)

I have been looking for a grout stain to go over the corral on my white textured tile floor over 3,000 ft². The brand I was using is no longer made but this is surprisingly good and easy to use. Just take your time and do one or two lines at a time and wipe them off. I saw videos where people say come back tomorrow and wipe off the excess which is a total nightmare if you have texture tile. My recommendation is to have a towel to wipe off the excess that is damp and a dry towel if you need to go back over it it will get the job done. To make it even better get a denture toothbrush with some formula 88 and water to scrub the old area first. Surprisingly sometimes if you previously had staying it will bring it back to normal but at very least it will clean the area where the new stain will stick when you put it down. My advice stay away from YouTube videos as they will confuse you. Try one area you let it dry and come back later then try an area the way I mentioned to see what is better for your situation as everybody has a different style of tile. Good luck

Last owner installed this back splash with what appears to be some type of concrete.It was brown and dark and didn't look nice with the color tile in my opinion. I was worried I would have to go darker so when I read the reviews here and saw how it was covering dark grout lines I figured it was worth a shot.Purchased in the frost color which looked like a light gray. Cleaned everything really good two days prior so it would have time to dry.Directions give two options for applying depending on the tile. One is a wet method where you let it sit for a few minutes and mist with water them wipe, second was dry method where you wipe immediately with a dry paper towel or microfiber cloth.I started with the dry method and after about five minutes realized my grout was absorbing the color so fast I could wipe with a wet microfiber without it smearing on the tiles and without it pulling from the grout.Picture 2 shows it after two coats, still drying. I used a stiff small stencil brush for application. I know people complained about the nozzle clogging. They probably shouldn't be attempting home improvements as the top unscrews and you have to unscrew said top to remove the seal. I did not use the nozzle I just dipped the brush in and carried on.First pass the color looked bright white, I used the stencil brush to really push it into all the nooks and crannies. Wiping with a wet cloth as I was going. I didn't have to worry about being neat, it wiped off extremely easy from my tile. By the time I wrapped around the entire back splash, about 20 minutes, the starting point had absorbed enough for a second coating.It dried true to color, covered the brown entirely and changed the entire look of the kitchen. All this completed in about 40 minutes, granted we have large rectangular tiles and there was not as much grout lines to work over so timing will vary.I used maybe 1/4 of the bottle.I could not recommend this product more highly. It did exactly what it advertised it would, it was extremely easy and super cost effective. Super happy with the end results.
