Masonry of a ceramic tile floor is a dirty job. After you have completely filled the grout, there will be plenty of grout left on top of the tiles. This excess grouting early in the cleaning process will save you from the strenuous cleaning work of the dry slurry.
Instructions
• Tilt the rubber float for an angle of 45 degrees. Pass the float on the ground at this angle. It always works diagonally through the tiles as removing excess grout. The grout excess replace the mixed slurry cube.
• Wait for the grout to harden for approximately 20 to 30 minutes. This allows the grout to heal a little before you clean with the grout sponge.
• Fill a bucket with water. Place the grout sponge in the water and then the ring out of the sponge until it is slightly moist. You don't want to introduce a lot of extra water into the grout at this curing stage or they may weaken.
• Wipe the top of the tiles with the grout sponge. Once again, be careful not to remove grout from the tiling joints as it is removed from the top of the tiles. Rinse the sponge in the water bucket frequently.
• Wait for Grout to harden completely, approximately 24 hours. When the cement has hardened there will still be a slight mist of grout at the top of the tiles. Use a dry cloth to "polish" the top of the tiles and remove the opacity.
