Yes, but ensure the grout is completely clean and dry before application, and allow it to cure for a full 24 hours before allowing water to touch the area.
The graphite color is intended to cover stains and refresh the look. It may change the appearance of non-grey grout significantly.
The ink is water and fade-resistant, making it long-lasting for indoor applications; however, it is not considered permanent and may require touch-ups after heavy scrubbing.
Silicone sealant is typically found in corners and edges where tiles meet walls or tubs and is flexible to the touch. Cement grout is hard and brittle.
This product is designed for indoor use. Outdoor exposure to harsh UV light and extreme weather may cause the ink to fade significantly faster.
If the ink has not dried, it can be wiped off immediately with a damp cloth. If it has dried, a small amount of rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab may help remove it.
Ensure the marker has been shaken well and that you have primed the tip on a separate surface by pressing down until the nib is saturated.
The surface was likely not clean enough or still had moisture present. Scrub the grout thoroughly, ensure it is bone-dry, and re-apply.
Check that the joint is actually cement grout and not silicone sealant. This product cannot adhere to flexible silicone surfaces.
This marker is designed exclusively for cementitious grout lines. Do not attempt to use this product on silicone caulk or sealant, as the ink will not adhere and will likely bead up and wipe away. For maintenance, keep the cap tightly closed when not in use to prevent the ink from drying out. Store the marker horizontally to maintain an even ink distribution within the barrel. If the tip becomes frayed over time, you can often gently remove and flip it if the marker design allows, or simply replace the marker once the ink supply is exhausted.
