Review of Ronseal Grout Cleaner

Overview: Use Cilit Bang and grout whitener unless you have Mr T or Superman around for lunch....

This stuff does do 'exactly as it says on the tin', but fails to warn you that you need arm muscles like Mr T and rubber gloves which are suitable for handling nuclear waste...

The issues:
1. The applicator is utterly unsuitable. The product has the consistency of runny snot, and therefore the arm of a small child would be more suitable to apply it to the grout. Instead, you have to squeeze it through the tube that has hard bristles on the end. This means that it is far more likely to run up your arm than down the wall.
2. The bristles on the brush are very hard (you'll find out why in a moment). It is also quite a wide brush. In my humble experience, lines of grout are never more than an inch thick... so during application, more of the product goes on the tiles than on the grout.
3. It smells like the inside of a hairdressers during pensioners day. Blue rinse and peroxide ahoy!!! I advise windows open, peg for nose and an oxygen mask.
4. Once runny snot is applied to wall, leave for 5 minutes,  then use the brush to scrub the grout. This, by no means, is an easy feat. This is where Mr T needs to come knocking on the door. The difficulty also lies in the brush being attached to the tube. As you scrub, more runny snot comes out. In the end, I removed the brush to use it seperately.
6. The hard bristles remind me of the wire floor srubbing brushes than my nan used to use on the concrete door step. In fact, one of those brushes would have been ideal to use!

So, after the trial and tribulations above, what are the results?
Not bad! When scrubbing, you can see the muck bribbling away, and when washed away, the tiles are gleaming! But in todays world of quick and easy products, this scores a zero for speed and easiness! It did clean the grout though.
Would I use it again?
No. I'd Cilit Bang the tiles, then buy grout whitener as it is easier, quicker and actually gives a much better result...

Ronseal, this product has a lot of potential, but really needs to be redesigned for an easier application. A seperate applicator and brush (or wire Brillo style sponge?) would make it much more user friendly!

Mr T and childs arms will no longer be needed, thank you!
