Are your floor tile grouts looking dirty, discolored, or damaged? It might be time to change your floor tile grout. Don’t worry; with the right tools and a little bit of patience, you can easily give your floors a fresh new look. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to change floor tile grout:

Gather the Necessary Tools and Materials

Before you begin, make sure you have the following tools and materials ready:

  • Grout removal tool (electric or manual)
  • Grout scraper
  • New grout
  • Grout float
  • Sponge
  • Bucket
  • Grout sealer
  • Protective gloves

Remove the Old Grout

The first step is to remove the old grout. This can be done using a grout removal tool or a grout scraper. Be careful not to scratch or damage the tiles while removing the grout. Take your time and work in small sections to ensure thorough removal.

Clean the Tile Surface

Once the old grout is removed, clean the tile surface using a sponge and warm water. Make sure to remove any grime, dirt, or residue left behind. Allow the tiles to dry completely before moving on to the next step.

Apply the New Grout

Prepare the new grout according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Use a grout float to apply the grout onto the tile surface. Work in small sections, pressing the grout into the gaps between the tiles at a 45-degree angle. Make sure all gaps are filled evenly.

Clean Excess Grout

Once the grout is applied, use a damp sponge to remove the excess grout from the tile surface. Gently wipe the tiles in a diagonal motion, being careful not to remove too much grout from the gaps. Rinse the sponge frequently to avoid smearing the grout.

Seal the Grout

After the grout has fully dried, typically after 24-48 hours, it’s important to seal the grout to protect it from stains and moisture. Apply a grout sealer using a small paintbrush or a sponge. Allow the sealer to dry completely before walking on the newly grouted area.

Maintain the Grout

Regularly clean and maintain your grout to keep it looking fresh and extend its lifespan. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that may damage the grout. Instead, opt for mild cleaners and gentle scrubbing.

By following these step-by-step instructions, you can easily change and update the grout on your floor tiles. Enjoy the satisfaction of revitalizing your floors and giving them a fresh new look!
