Advantages: Simple to use, none messy

Disadvantages: Have to be careful you don't depress pen nib, also highly Flammable so be careful where it is stored

Having just moved house, we have inherited tiling in our ensuite shower cubicle which is badly discoloured, with orangey water marks. I tried brushing bleach between the cracks with a small toothbrush, which was rather messy and not that successful. However on a recent trip to Homebase I came across this product which was so simple to use, and the results are really good. It resembles a dry wipe marker pen, it is made by Plascon International Ltd and is called an International Grout Pen. Basically you just run the nib of the pen down the grout lines on your tiles and it covers over the old grout with a clean white covering. It is suggested you apply 2 coats one hour apart. Even after one coat the horrible orange marks had vanished,
and the tiles just looked so much better. At a cost of £3.99 it was money well spent.
