We recommend grouting a small area in order to evaluate how quickly the grout will set up. You will avoid a difficult clean up by knowing how quickly or slowly your grout will set up and you will minimize the amount of time and effort required to finish the job. After grout has set for the 10 to 15 minutes, you are ready to wipe the surface clean with a sponge and water. Make sure you make multiple passes with a wet sponge until the excess grout is removed. We recommend running the sponge at a 45 angle to clean the grout joint.
Rinse sponge often to remove loose particles of grout from the sponge.
Clean water in bucket often as to not to contaminate grout with dirty water and loose particles. The grout joints should be of the same consistent shape and depth. After grout has been allowed to harden there will be a haze left by the grout residue that will need to be removed. Remove this residue by wiping over the tile with a piece of cheesecloth until film is removed. Tile and Grout maintenance primarily involves cleaning and sealing the grout to protect against stains.
