Troubleshooting
Grout Pen isn't working or the ink is not flowing.
Shake the pen vigorously with the cap on. Press the nib down firmly on a piece of paper several times to start the ink flow. If the nib is clogged, try cleaning it with a damp cloth.
Ink is running or spreading beyond the grout lines.
Apply the pen with a lighter touch and slower speed. Wipe any excess ink immediately with a damp cloth. Use the reversible nib with the fine point.

Test the pen on a small, inconspicuous area first. Consider cleaning all the grout to achieve a uniform appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before you start, ensure the grout is clean and dry. Clean the grout with a grout cleaner and allow it to dry completely before applying the Grout Pen.
The Grout Pen is compatible with all types of wall and floor grout. It's especially suited for use in kitchens and bathrooms due to its anti-bacterial and mold-resistant properties.
To care for the pen, store it horizontally when not in use. This will help prevent the nib from drying out. Clean the nib with a damp cloth if necessary, but avoid excessive wiping, which can damage it.
