just like new

When we layed our bathroom floors,
we failed to seal it properly.
And poorly sealed white tile and grout,
plus a flood in the bathroom, 
leads to one dirty floor two years later.
I was desperate to get my floors looking clean again
and had tried everything.
I even made my own grout cleaner from a recipe
I got from the Queen of Clean
but nothing worked.
Here is what they look liked after scrubbing
them on my hands and knees.
Gross!
Then one day I found this
A paint for your grout!

So Curtis and I spent last week painting
all the grout between our 1/4" tiles.
It was tedious.
But halfway through I knew we were on the right track.

And now after hours of work,
our floors look like new!

We also sealed it three times.
Overkill?
I don't think so,
If in question,
please refer to the first picture.

The moral of the story,
never use white grout.

I can't believe you painted all of that. Madness.

Wow!! That is quite the project--it does look amazing though! Bravo Jacobs!
