How to Make Your Bathroom & Kitchen Look New Again
Shelly Daniels | Thursday, September 10, 2026

Linda Peters, 38, was feeling mixed emotions. Her father had just passed after a long fight with cancer, and he had written in his will that she was to inherit his 3-bedroom Victorian home.

“I was so grateful,” the wife and mother of 2 says. “My little girls finally had a backyard to play in.”

And, that wasn’t the only thing she was grateful for…

For the first time in her life, Linda wouldn’t be renting. Now, she and her husband only had a few years of mortgage payments to pay on their new home. After that, they’d be free and clear. But, it wasn’t going to be easy.

The house was older, and her father had left it in somewhat disrepair. It needed some TLC. So, they got to work, ripping up the old carpet, cleaning and painting the walls, removing the overgrowth in the backyard, and working on various other things around their new home. But, no matter how hard she tried, there was one thing that she just couldn’t fix. And, it was starting to become a major problem.

“No matter how much I cleaned,” Linda says. “The kitchen and bathroom floors still looked disgusting.”

So disgusting, in fact, that her youngest daughter wouldn’t step foot in those rooms. But, it wasn’t because the floors were actually dirty…

The grout was so old and stained, it made the tile floors look filthy. Linda spent hours scrubbing away, but they never changed colors. So, she brought out the big guns.

“I tried everything,” Linda says. “I used baking soda, bleach, soap, and ‘specialty’ products. They were all useless. I was starting lose hope. That is, until one day.”

One afternoon, Linda’s neighbor invited her over for a glass of wine. Although the houses were nearly identical, the woman’s tile floors looked brand new.

“I figured she had recently gotten them replaced,” Linda says. “So, since it looked like my own floors weren’t going to get clean, I asked her how much she paid to replace them.”

But, Linda was shocked when she heard the answer…

The neighbor told her that these tile floors were original, and they’d never been replaced. Linda could hardly believe her ears. Did she scrub them every day? How could they look so clean?

The secret, the neighbor told her, was a little magic tool called GroutShine.

What is it?

GroutShine is a specialized pen, formulated to restore grout back to its original color. Not only that, but it can change the color on existing grout lines if you’re looking for a different, richer color.

How does it work?

The secret is in the Power Penetration technology, which allows the ink to not just sit on top of the grout, but get deep inside for long-lasting color change.

The fast-drying, antibacterial and anti-fungal formula ensures mold and mildew don’t reappear.

And, it’s water-based and non-toxic, as well as practically odorless, so it’s safe to use anywhere.

Plus, the pen has a nonslip grip to ensure accuracy while filling in.

Every household with tile floors or walls seems to be getting in on this trend.

Because contractors jack up the price for grout coloration, simply because they know the average homeowner won’t bother, Australians have been practically begging for a quality, inexpensive solution to re-color their grout lines.

Well, GroutShine was designed specifically for that purpose, and it’s getting some major attention…

But, is it Really Worth All This Hype?

Since its debut a little under a year ago, GroutShine has been SELLING OUT almost every other week. It’s nearly impossible for the makers to keep up with the demand. And, it’s easy to see why…

The extremely positive reviews, as well as social media praise, has skyrocketed GroutShine to near-famous levels.

Speaking of hype… Just LOOK at these Instagram user posts!
GroutShine has quickly developed a loyal cult following. Here are just some of the thousands of positive reviews people are writing…

"GroutShine totally transformed my tiles! They were so boring and dirty and I even considered getting new ones. I was so impressed that I only spent a very little and it made such a huge difference to the kitchen!"

- Carlos Hill

"Living in a military quarter means there’s a lot of things I can’t change. I had tried every product I could find to clean the grout in the tiles and nothing would make them look clean. So I gave the GroutShine a go and I am more than happy with the result!"

- Alan Rogers

"So I took a risk and I decided to grout my bathroom tiles with GroutShine. I must say I am loving the new look! It’s amazing easy. Why didn’t I do this months ago??"

- Martha Coleman

We reached out to Gary Lawson, star of the hit TV show Repo vs. Renovation, to see what he had to say. Here’s his take:

We’ve been using GroutShine on the show since it first came out, and it’s become a staple in our repertoire. When it comes to deciding whether we’re going to renovate a house, we make multiple decisions on where to best save cost. GroutShine has literally saved us thousands of dollars over the course of the show. It’s even been a deciding factor for renovating instead of repo’ing!

After doing some research, we decided to try GroutShine out for ourselves. Here’s the results…

Luckily (or UNluckily), I had a similar problem that Linda did. The grout in my tile bathroom walls was disgustingly dirty, and nothing was working to clean it. So, I decided to order the pens online and see how they worked…

Three days later, they were waiting for me in my mailbox.

The instructions were easy enough to follow. Just make sure the grout is wiped down first. Then, shake the pen well before you use it.

After it’s been shaken, just start at a point near the floor grout and draw along the grout. It’s that easy.

I did mess up a little and make some of the ink overflow onto the tile. Luckily, this just wipes right up, no harm done.

Although, you do have to be patient. It takes a little time to do, since you’re being careful. But, all in all, it was a very simple process.

When I was done, I just couldn’t believe how great it turned out!

How great does that look? It’s like it’s brand new, and I didn’t have to spend a fortune on a contractor.

After that experience, I ended up getting a few more GroutShine pens. I want to give the grout in my kitchen a nice dark mahogany look, to match my kitchen chairs and table. It’s really rewarding to see how big of a difference you can make in such a short time.

Is it worth the price?

At AU$46 per pen, it’s definitely something to make you think first. But, considering that it’s giving you the exact same result as spending literally hundreds on a contractor? Yeah, it’s definitely worth it.

And, add in the fact that GroutShine offers a 100% Money Back Guarantee, and you just can’t go wrong.

These things are awesome! I cleaned my bathroom tile grout first because the lady that lived there before me really let it go.

I love this product! I've done about a third of my kitchen so far using 1 pen. I've had no problems with the tip of the pen. The flow is fine. I shake it frequently and so far, so good. :)

This stuff is amazing! After over 10 years of the grout not being cleaned, and a botched repair job, the bathroom floor in this house looked horrendous. Two GroutShine pens covered the entire bathroom floor, with plenty left over in the 2nd pen, even with applying 2-3 layers!

Needed this to whiten grout lines in a small bathroom with white ceramic tiles that had a lot of dirt ground in. The difference is night and day... fantastic!

Our home is over 50 years old. The grout in the bathrooms is not chipping like the shower but it is stained from age. This product is so easy to use that I’m not dreading doing other projects with it.

I don't hate my old tile as much! My husband and I renovated our ground level. The tile was old and just would have cost way too much money to pull up. Needless to say the area came out amazing after applying this pen!

This is a great clean look grout restorer! Made the old brown grout of my shower turn white again!

I wish I had found this product sooner. The pen is easy to use and covers grout stains very well. We had mildly yellow grout stains and it covered it right up. My bathroom looks completely new now. I would highly recommend.

Used so many products out there and this by far was the best and easiest to use! Just apply on a clean surface and rub away the excess with a damp cloth and voila!! Can't say enough good things about this product! Worth every dollar!
