How to clean tile grout
Tile grout always looks clean and fresh after the initial application. However, if you notice your grout has become yellow, cracked, or dirty looking, it’s a clear sign the time has come to clean it or even replace it. If you’re lucky, your tile grout may just need a good cleaning. To do this, simply use a cloth and soapy water and get scrubbing! The dirt and limescale may come off easily. However, if the damage is significant, it may be time to repair or replace the tile grout.

If your tile grout is troublesome in some places and fine in others, you may be able to repair the grout using some new sealant. The best way to approach this is by cleaning the existing grout and looking to see the areas that need to be repaired. Grab some BT1 sealant and cover areas that need a simple touch-up.
How to remove tile grout
To replace tile grout, you need to remove it using a blade such as a knife or a grout remover if you have one. Take the blade and scrape along the joint between the tiles and start to remove the old grout carefully. As you remove the grout, there’ll be lots of debris and dirt. Use a damp cloth to clean the area and once the grout is removed, give it another clean to prepare for the new sealant application.
How to replace tile grout
Once you have removed the old tile grout and cleaned the debris and dirt from the surface, you’re ready to replace it with BT1 sealant and adhesive. Try to use straight lines for a clean and even finish. You can cut the nozzle of the cartridge to your liking, which helps to give you more control of the output of the product. Don’t worry if the sealant gets on the surrounding tiles, you can clean it away afterward. Once the new sealant has been applied, use your finger to smooth the lines for a nice clean, even, and fresh finish.
