But upon further inspection she’s really just using a grout cleaning spray. The problem with these cleaners is that they require a lot of scrubbing and you can’t guarantee the stains will come off – especially if you don’t scrub hard enough.

How to clean grout in the shower – with no fuss

So, why bother scrubbing when there’s an easier way? Did you know you can simply glide a pen across the grout to make it clean?

I’m not talking about just any old pen, most pens have tiny nibs and the ink will wear off over a short time, or the first time you clean it.

I’m talking about the humble grout pen.

The Grout Pen

It’s the perfect solution for cleaning shower grout because it takes much less time to get a better finish and it dries within 30 minutes. This means you don’t have to wait a week for new grout to dry completely or air the room out after using potentially toxic cleaning fluids before you can use the shower again.

It’s so easy to use too, you just press the nib in, pump the pen around 20 times and get to work.

There aren’t any messy de-grouting tools to use and the finish will be as good as good as new! If you try to re-grout the tiles yourself, you can’t guarantee a professional finish…
