lol at the people out there who use these to do the whole bathroom. That’s a waste of time and money. You don’t stain an entire wood chair with a scratch touch up pen do you?
For those who haven’t done tile sealing and restoration work before, go to a tile store and ask them about the products available for this or otherwise do your research. If you have mold on the grout you’ll want to kill that first then apply a sealer. There are transparent penetrative sealers, and surface coating sealers that can be either transparent or opaque colored like these markers.
There are roller wheel application bottles that are best used on horizontal surfaces like floors, and brush bottles that are best for vertical surfaces like tile walls. There are also spray-on-and-wipe products that are best for those really small tiles where the amount of grout lines is overwhelming.
These markers are good for what they are which is situations where you need to do some sort of touch up for some reason. I actually got one to cover a small area where the edges of the tile are visible and an opaque white sealer is needed to get rid of the grayish tile edge.
I wasn’t really expecting them to work that well but after 2 months the sealer hasn’t flaked off which is better than I expected. I do expect that eventually I’ll have some flaking or wear and will need to touch those spots up again, but so far it’s looking much more durable than I expected. I did need to use about three coats of the sealer for this unusual application to get it opaque enough to completely cover up the dingy gray tile edge.
So anyway these are good for touch ups or small areas but for entire bathrooms and such just go get yourself a quart or however much you need of some appropriate products and apply them as directed with roller or brush bottles.
