      [quote=\"KSmom8\"]My previous maids used CIF mixed with detergent and water to scrub the dirt off the grout, worked for living room tiles.

      For toilet tiles, the grout kept getting dirty very fast. Noticed that grout was more worn off than living room tiles, so re-grouted them. Bought ready made grout repair from DIY shop, no need to mix. Took me an afternoon ( with many breaks in between ) to do it. It's been 2 years, so far so good and still clean and white.

      Which one u buy? Can show pic or tell me the brand? I also want to do some grout patching. 😉 thanks

      Can't remember brand. Bought from self fix DIY shop. It's a purple or purplish pink ( gosh i hope i remembered correctly) tube, cut on one end and squeeze out grout. Tell the salesman it's for grout repair. Not a very big tube, I used 3 tubes for my entire toilet floor. Hope this helps.[/quote]i went to the hardware store and told him as you did but he say he not sure 😞 u got the brand name?

          I’m quite taken by one product by JML…


          The Steam mop or something…
          Has anyone tried that?

                  My family bought it for $78.. I can only say, what he use to demonstrate and what he is selling is of different concentration. If anyone wants to buy, ask him to use the bottle which u are buying to demonstrate the same result. It will taking longer time and effort to obtain the same clean result. Kind of cheating in that sense 😢

                    Hi,

                    An uncle (50+) just came to my house to sell this bottle containing a yellow liquid concentrate. He squeezed direct onto the grout on my white ceramic floor tiles. Per his claim, 3 mins later he just wipe it off and all the stubborn dirt came off.

                    I used my hand to go over the area, no stickyness, no oil and no smell. Accordingly, just do it once on all the tiles and then, subsequent use like a normal floor detergent (add water) for maintenance. Can last for 2 years.

                    I was damn tempted. The uncle claimed it's local manufactured, PH5 (not a bleach) and he's only earning $8 as commission per gallon (4L) sold. The price is $68. But knowing how all these stuff works, it may look fantastic now....but I wanna wait a few days to see if it really works per claim.

                    I asked for his contact - NO. He will only come back once every 2 years.
                    I asked for the product company / name card - NO. Dun have.
                    I started getting suspicious.....cos' basically must buy NOW or wait 2 years.
                    And he said ...... MAN won't buy. He always only managed to sell to ladies. I can't make a $68 decision? Then he said, if you dun buy now, it's unlikely you will buy anyway. This was the last straw.

                    Thinking back, I suspect the product will not be as per demo......else I see [color=#4000FF]no reason why there's no name card, no contact if it's sooooooo good.

                    Have any of you encountered this? Do share if you have bought this product before.

                    Hi,
                    This week a man came with formula a5. It costs $78. He too did demonstration from outside gate. It did wonders. No visiting card, no contact number.
                    $78 for a small bottle.
                    We will need to use 1 bottle fully for 1 room. And it costs a lot.
                    So didn't buy.
                    We can find other good and cheap options I think.

                        Encountered that seller today. He did the demonstration and I was tempted to buy. Luckily, I did a quick research and saw the reviews. Didn’t buy in the end.
