What Customers Are Saying

The product had mixed reviews. Some customers reported the additive worked well, providing good consistency and helping prevent staining and mildew. Others found it did not effectively seal or protect the grout, leading to issues like staining, discoloration, and poor final appearance. The mixing and application process also caused problems for some users. Overall, the product's performance seems inconsistent, with many customers disappointed that it did not live up to the claimed sealing and stain-resistance properties.

Sealing grout is unnecessary with this product!

Would Recommend

I love this product. I have used this before. It is a great replacement for water to mix the grout. Sealing of the grout becomes unnecessary when using this product.

Worthless-don't waste your money!

Would Not Recommend

I purchased this to use when regrouting my white ceramic tiled kitchen countertop, hoping that it would do what it said it did. I should have saved my money and used plain water to mix the grout as others have said. A few days in, and the grout is already stained from drops of coffee and tea. Save your money and use water! Very disappointing.
