FAQs

How many pens are included in this pack?

This pack contains two Kingfisher Tile Grout Whitening Pens.

Can I use these pens on coloured grout?

These pens are designed primarily for white grout. While they may cover some coloured grout, it's recommended to test on an inconspicuous area first to check for colour compatibility and avoid unwanted marks.

How long does the whitening effect last?

The longevity of the whitening effect depends on the area's usage and cleaning habits. It is a surface coating that can wear down over time with regular cleaning and traffic.

Can I use this to cover mould on my grout?

These pens are designed to cover discolouration and stains. While they will hide the appearance of mould stains, they do not kill or remove the mould itself. For mould issues, proper cleaning and treatment are recommended.

What is the best way to apply the pen for clean lines?

Apply directly to the grout line with steady pressure. For extra precision, you can use a fine-tipped tool or a damp cloth to carefully wipe away any excess that gets onto the tile surface before it dries.

Do I need to seal the grout after using the pen?

Sealing the grout after application is not strictly required, but it can help protect the whitening effect and make future cleaning easier.

How should I store the pens when not in use?

Always replace the cap securely after each use to prevent the tip from drying out. Store the pens upright in a cool, dry place.

Troubleshooting

Pen tip is not dispensing ink

Press the pen tip firmly on a scrap surface or paper towel to activate the flow. Ensure the cap was properly sealed when stored.

Uneven coverage

Apply in smooth, consistent strokes. Go over any missed spots or thin areas after the initial application has dried. Ensure grout is clean and dry beforehand.

Ink smudging onto tiles

Wipe away any excess ink immediately with a damp cloth before it dries. Apply carefully, staying within the grout lines. For very precise application, a fine brush or cotton swab can be used to clean edges.

Whitening effect is not as bright as expected

Ensure the grout is thoroughly clean and dry. For very dark or deeply stained grout, multiple applications may be necessary, or it may be beyond the scope of a simple whitener.
