And lest that sound a bit too dramatic for bathroom grout purposes, allow me to tell you a story.
Back in 2003, we were going to remodel this basement bathroom. Dr. Who themed. We found online some glow-in-the-dark grout that we thought would be a fun way to do the floor a bit differently. So I bought a one-pound bag.
You'll note it's now 2025, meaning that bag has floated around the house for more than two years.
But the bathroom floor tile was in, ready for grouting.
I took the bag outside and left it in full sun for a few hours. Brought it in, and the glow was weak and spotty. I was disappointed. But I thought I'd try something else: I put it in the bathroom, turned on the LED lighting, and closed the door. About forty minutes later, I checked on it, and it was indeed glowing brightly:
The picture does't do it justice. It was *really* glowing brightly. And not spotty like it had been out in the sun.
So it's only a pound, and though the floor is small, I had my doubts it would be enough. So I cut it a bit with some white grout, grouted, and still didn't have enough. So I went online and bought another bag of the glowing stuff; it'll be here Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the floor:
Again, the picture doesn't do it justice. It's really bright. It does fade over time, but a bit of light on it brings it right back.
I'll have to put a good grout sealer on it, but I'll test it first to make sure the light can still get through or whatever. But I'm excited with the results.
So in the words of Dr. Frankenstein:
