How to Remove Paint from Grout
Whether it’s a craft project or home renovation, paint is messy. Even if you put down tarps, blankets, tape, and newspaper, paint splatters and spills. Also, your protective gear can move or rip, which won’t protect your surfaces at all! Paint can easily stain tile and grout.
If you accidentally spill paint onto grout, don’t worry! Our team at Grout Shield can help you get rid of that paint stain for good. You’ll never know it was there!
In most homes, grout is white or a lighter color, which means it can easily show paint, which come in all sorts of colors. Event white paint will be noticeable on white grout. Since it is porous, grout will absorb all the paint. Both dark and light paint can stain easily, and grout can be difficult to clean, so this is a bad combination. With the right grout cleaning and sealing products, it will look like the paint stains never happened.
Most DIY cleaning articles may tell you to clean up paint with bleach, ammonia or white vinegar. These chemicals may work, but they also aren’t really cleaning the grout, and many of these chemicals can cause the grout to crack or break.
To remove paint, you want to first blot the area dry with a clean cloth. Wipe the area clean. You may notice your grout is stained a darker tint now from the paint. To remove the dark ink stain, you will want to use Grout Shield’s Grout & Tile Deep Cleaner, which cleans and lifts deep and hard-to-clean stains out of the grout’s pores.
To use this cleaner, mix 1 ounce of the cleaner with 8 ounces of warm water. Then, brush the cleaner into the grout with a brush applicator. Let the mixture sit into the grout lines for a few minutes. Then, wipe away the cleaner with a sponge and towel dry the floor. The discoloration will be gone.
Now, if the ink paint stain won’t fully go away, you can make the grout color look like new again with Grout Shield’s color sealer. You just squeeze the sealer into the grout lines. Then, spread it into the grout lines with a brush applicator or your finger and wipe away the excess with a towel or chamois. You can choose any color in the world to recolor your grout.

If you don’t need to recolor your grout, you should seal it with clear grout sealer to protect it from future art projects, splatters and other stains.
