Products that I now avoid

Grout Bully

These following photo's are from a tile counter top that I did using a Product called "Grout Bully." I found this in Rite Aid Pharmacy.
It claims "As seen on TV" but I had never seen it on tv before.

As you can see it claims to Clean, Renew and Redesigns grout on contact.
It was only $9.99, so let's give it a try.

"Grout Bully come with a bottle of grout whitening fluid with applicator and two sponges. You are only to use to orange side of the sponge

           

Here are two sections of the countertop wiped down and before "Grout Bully" is applied.

What you can't tell by the photo's is that "Grout Bully" requires a lot of clean-up. The center of the applicator has a hard plastic tube, the applicator itself is larger than a shoe polish applicator. When applying to small grout lines there is a lot of waste. It may take 2 or 3 (in some areas it took more) applications with drying time in between each coat. 

Wait until you are completely done befor you use the sponges. If you wipe up before grout is completely dry, you will remove all of the grout, even in areas you don't want to. 

Once you are completely done, don't put large amounts of water on the counter for 2 weeks. We got around this by putting down plastic.

 After a month, this started to happen:

It's starting to wash off.
