I'm making a small table for the patio outside. I used this to set the tile. It was easy to spreads. It is consistent in texture and easy to clean up with water. I used about 3/4 of the container for 8 sq. ft. I would by this again.

I opened the box the item was shipped in and the grout was busted open and the contents were spilled inside.

Truly an arctic white color. Used with white glass tiles and it applied easily, smoothly and cleaned up nicely. Premixed grout is the way to go!

Yes this grout dries fast and will leave a haze if you don’t wipe it within 5 mins but the haze (for me) could be removed with water and a firm bristle brush…even after letting it sit overnight. The color is 5 stars and perfectly matches my Cementino tile that I got from Hd too. The consistency was easy to spread and easy to wipe- I just followed my husband with a sponge as he spread the grout. You just have to move pretty quickly in order to avoid staining, thus extra cleanup.

I can’t attest to quality because my backsplash was just done this week. My installer recommended this grout and it looks beautiful. I’ve seen some people comment on a residue left behind but he cleaned it well and the white subway tile has no film on it. Posting this as a color guide because I struggled to decide on the right gray. The image by the stove is most accurate for the color.

We recently remodeled our bathroom and installed white shower tile. We tried several different “white” grout colors but all seemed to have either blue or beige undertones. We finally found this grout and it’s perfect! We used Arctic White and I would say this grout is a true white with no undertones. It was easy to use and affordable.

Nice consistency and easy to use. Three rinse coats and it was finished.

If I could give it zero stars, I would. The stuff is miserable to work with. It was dry, crumbly and drying faster than I could work a 2'x3' area with a grout float. Tried working smaller areas and quickly back tracking with wet sponge. Still didn't stop the white marks left on the tile, a lot like a latex paint. I was able to get the worst up of it up by scrubbing with a nylon scrubbing dish pad. Definitely doing the kitchen floor (which is a lot larger area) with a different product.

We bought this grount for our shower. It cracked within two months, thw whole shower now has to be regroutted. DO NOT BUY - I wouldve liked to have added more photos but it only let me uplaod one

Easy to spread into joints. Also, it surprisingly has a pleasant smell. The mix is consistent and doesn't dry out as long as the lid is closed tightly.

I dont know how this grout works because it was shipped to us with the lids off. Waited 10 days to get it and now xant use it

First time trying premixed grout. It’s convenient until you’re stuck trying to remove the haze that won’t come out. Tried haze remover and it made it worse. Awful product stay clear!!!!

A little too clumpy at first. Needed some water. The bright white really brings out the color in the tiles and makes everything pop. Good product.

I bought this product to grout wall trim tiles after already grouting the floor with normal platinum sanded grout. I purchased this in platinum assuming they would match. It is MUCH darker than the rest of my grout. I am lucky I just did the trim tile in it, but it’s still noticeable to me and I’m very disappointed. Don’t use this to match/patch/etc other grout!!

I hate this stuff, lol Every single time. I regret it, every time! It's an easy, quick way to apply grout, but you're left with A haze that is so hard to remove. You end up scrubbing the surface to remove the haze, along with too much grout from between the tile.. And it's not like cleaning up regular grout. It sticks to the surface, of everything, like paint or an adhesive. Mix your own grout

I have used this grout in the past and it has been great. Bought it again for another backsplash with 1/16" spacing. Need to use this quickly since it dries pretty quick. After getting it into the spacing, you need to start wiping with the sponge to get most of the grout off the tiles. I stuck with an 18"x18" area of grout and wipe. Looks great once it is all done.

Stay Away! I used the charcoal grout and ended up having to replace my tiles, leaves a blue residue and stains. Do not recommend. Floor and decor has much better products

This was my first time using premixed grout and it won't be the last! The consistency is gorgeous, the color was spot-on, and the application was quick and easy with no guessing or mess. I now have a perfect match still in the bucket for any future touch-ups or neighboring projects unlike unmixed which usually goes bad (from ambient moisture) by the time I want to use it again. Clean up of the tiles was also a breeze. I'm a convert!

We started with this grout, as someone from Home Depot recommended it. It’s awful, couldn’t finish the job with it. It has left a residue all over my tile (very expensive tile mind you) that I literally cannot get off. It’s been a couple of months now trying to remove the residue.

Bought this grout for a large tile project. Worked in small areas and cleaned up as I went along. Color was as advertised. My only issue was that i purchased one tub because product claimed it would cover my square footage, but i needed to buy another tub to finish. Otherwise a time/mess saving product over purchasing bagged/mix grout. Will see how well it holds up over time.

it’s TRULY simple grout!

I bought this because it was my first time grouting. I did a small strip around my guest bathroom sink. Turned out pretty good as I’ve never done this before.

I found blue ink on it check before use

The product is great, easy to use and preforms well. Only problem is you can’t trust the color. I was doing a small tile repair job and selected the bright white grout. The grout went on looking fine but dried a grey color. Now I need to redo the job and try to find grout that is really as advertised.

It was wonderful, very happy with the grout

Failed to dry, peeled right up, and this was after a week of letting it sit without the shower being used whatsoever. Then, I asked if I could get some sort of refund, or a gift card ($5) because of the issue, and was told I would have to contact the its manufacturer with the information listed below. Spend $50+ on a useless product & offered a ($5 GC) is insulting. 2155 Sweetwater Industrial Boulevard, Lithia Springs, GA 30122 Hours: Open Closes 5 PM Phone: (770) 941-2400

Not white at all. Varies from beige to grey. We had to remove it and bought a non sanded grout that we had to mix. Just wanted to warn y’all. Don’t buy this if you’re looking for a white grout.

I was using a better brand and only needed a very small amount so I figured this could work. I followed the directions to the letter. I'm waiting for it dry to try and Dremel off the top coat. Beyond sandy and a huge mess to top it off.

Love how my DIY project turned out
