FAQs

How many grout lines can one pen cover?

The coverage varies depending on the length and width of the grout lines and the amount of ink dispensed. However, the kit includes 8 pens, providing ample material for most standard-sized rooms.

Can I use this on coloured grout?

Yes, the pen is designed to recolour and refresh existing grout. For best results, choose a pen colour that closely matches or complements your existing grout shade.

Is the formula safe for use around pets and children?

Yes, the grout pens are formulated with a non-toxic, water-based ink and produce no harsh fumes, making them safe for use in homes with pets and children when used as directed.

How long does the colour last?

The longevity of the colour depends on factors such as foot traffic, cleaning methods, and exposure to moisture. The waterproof and anti-mould formula helps to extend its durability.

Do I need to seal the grout after using the pen?

The formula itself is waterproof and contains anti-mould properties, acting as a protective layer. No additional sealant is typically required after application.

Can I mix different colours?

While not specifically recommended, attempting to mix colours is not advised as it may affect the ink's properties and consistency.

What should I do if I make a mistake?

If you make a mistake, you can attempt to wipe away the excess ink immediately with a damp cloth before it dries. Once dry, it may be more challenging to remove without affecting the tile surface.

Troubleshooting

Ink not flowing from the pen.

Shake the pen vigorously and prime the tip by pressing it firmly on scrap paper until ink saturates the nib. Ensure the pen cap was properly sealed when not in use.

Uneven coverage or streaking.

Ensure grout is completely clean and dry before application. Apply in smooth, continuous strokes. If streaking occurs, a second light coat may be applied after the first has dried, or use the broader tip for wider joints.

Pen tip becomes clogged.

Gently clean the tip with a damp cloth. If the clogging persists, replace the nib with one of the provided replacements.

Ink smudges during application.

This may indicate the grout is not fully dry or the pen is being applied too heavily. Allow more drying time and apply lighter, more consistent strokes.

  3. Prime the pen by pressing the tip onto a piece of scrap paper until the ink flows.
