Questions & Answers

Sanded or not, and does it need sealing

I didn't see anything on the container about this grout being sanded, but the specs here on the home depot page say it is sanded. I'm curious as generally, sanded is for 1/8" and greater, yet this says it can be used for 1/16" to 1/2". So, 1st question is it sanded, and if so then why is it OK to use on 1/16", which is the gap between my shower tiles. 2nd question does it need to be sealed? I've already purchased this (it was recommended by the Home Depot advisor in store) and was ready to grout tomorrow and while waiting read about it being sanded.
Asked by: MikeK
This is sanded. I purchased it. In small writing it states on the container that this is a 'sanded' mix.

Does this grout require a sealant coat?

Asked by: BobG
This does not require a sealer. However, all grout will look better longer if you use a sealer. Just make sure it is fully cured before you seal it.

Is this grout sanded or unsanded?

It doesn't specify on the container or in the description of the product whether it's sanded or unsanded. I understand sanded grout will scratch glass tiles such as a backsplash and I am looking for unsanded grout for that reason.
Asked by: DDAWG
Under features it states sanded.

is this product mold resistant, and is it ok to use on the shower walls ?

Asked by: homes215
Not for shower walks. This is sanded grout. You'll need to mix dry non sanded grout for walls in shower.

SimpleGrout #381 Bright White 1 Qt. Pre-Mixed Grout is rated 4.1 out of 5 by 772.
Rated 1 out of 5 by from Terrible grout! I did a luxury vinyl tile on the floor and behind the sink, vertically, in our guest bath. I used grout from a competitor for the floor but underestimated the amount needed. Grabbed this from Home Depot as it looked like a similar product. It has been an absolute NIGHTMARE to use! I did maybe two to three feet at a time. It still stained and stuck to my LVT and practically ruined it. We purchased grout haze cleaner and it didn't touch it. My husband was ready to tear it all down, but I finally found that 100% pure acetone would take it off. After scrubbing each tile and wasting hours of my time, I'm not even happy with the grout. It was advertised as bright white and is a tannish-gray. Extremely dissatisfied and absolutely do not recommend this product!

Tile contractor has used the powder many times, but this was first time with Pre-Mixed. I purchased two gallons to try, we're doing four new bathrooms. Unfortunately, the product began falling out as he was wiping down for the first time. He spoke w/factory rep and was walked through the steps to use (he's been a tile contractor for 19 years). No resolution there. He ended up removing three walls of product so he could start over. Total waste of a day. We've gone ahead and ordered bags of powder (Alabaster not carried in store!) to redo correctly. I've not been able to get a refund from Home Depot because we used so much of the two gallons. It's now a warranty issue. I've sent pics to technical support, made a follow-up call which resulted in a 45 minute wait on line. I want my money back, particularly since we've purchased the powder version anyway. No response from "John" at Custom Building Products. Very frustrated.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from NEVER AGAIN Never ever have we used such a terrible product. We’ve tiled and grouted many rooms in many houses that we have owned and I have never seen a product that is basically sand and paint. This garbage does not come off the tile. Scrubbing and scrubbing and scrubbing. My floor looks like a three year old Spilled paint all over it. Please do yourself a favor. Use something else. It’s going to take weeks to get this off

Dries way too fast, only do a small area 2 ft by 2 ft and wipe if you wait too long it won't come off.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Total Disaster I thought I would use this to save some time from mixing myself. Here’s the issues that came up along the way: 1- there’s no indication if its a sanded or non sanded grout on the package. 2- its actually sanded. 3- doesnt apply easily at all. Being sandy and gritty- most of it ends up as a mess all over the place. 4 - Clean Up is a joke and this stuff does NOT clean up easily. I followed the instruction and this stuff bakes on like glue. Even acid based haze remover didnt phase it. I literally needed to take a razor blade to each small tile to make ANY progress, which took 8 hours total, and theres still spots i couldn’t get it off. Complete waste of my time and ruined my expensive tile. I’d highly recommend going with traditional grout!!!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not worth it...awful experience I had a small backsplash (new install) that I needed to grout and thought I would save a little time and a few bucks by going with the premixed grout. This was a horrible mistake. First, the grout is sanded, even though there is absolutely no mention of it being sanded, which should mean it is not sanded!!! Second, it goes on with nearly the consistency of water. I stirred it up but it didn't really help. Before I could spread it nearly all the grout had fallen off my float. As soft and runny as it is, you can't even really pick it up off of a flat surface. 80% of the grout ended up in clumps on my countertop. Third, it seems to dry in a couple of minutes. Five minutes after application, I was scrubbing hard with a wet sponge trying to remove the excess. Seriously, this grout induces a lot of swearing. Unfortunately, I did not read the reviews before I purchased, and a few others complained it was cracked within a week. Pay the few extra bucks and buy legitimate grout and mix it yourself. It's worth the hassle.

I was completing a renovation on a Fire Pit that we have had for about 10 years. The grout had come out in several areas on the surface that surrounds the fire pit itself. I used the same color of Pre-Mixed grout to make the repairs. At first I tried to repair a lot of surface area at one time but found that I needed to grout small areas, clean the surfaces off of the slate rock and then proceed around the fire pit. Quick cleaning was the answer to making it a successful renovation. Keep plenty of water in a pail and a couple of tile sponges handy. The grout was solid and an was the same color when completed. The grout sets fast.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Avoid the lure of no mixing traditional grout!!! It's NOT worth it. The grout was slightly stiffer than traditional grout but workable, however the clean up is a nightmare! I grouted a 2x2 area and went back and wiped off the surface. A little film was left ...no biggie. Figured I'd get it prior to cleaning the next 2x2 section. Grouted 2x2 more and went back to clean off the surface of the 1st section. The heavy haze had stuck fast and took extensive rubbing to remove. A HUGE waste of time compared to traditional grout! By then the 2nd section was starting to stick like crazy and it was equally difficult to remove. Feeling committed to complete the job with the material on hand I plowed ahead and completed the bath in about 5x the normal amount of time and exhausted from all the extra work required. Completely frustrating and annoying product. It better last for eternity to be worth this. As others have said it is sanded but does NOT clearly say that on the label. Beware!
