Over time, many have grouted tile floors that begin to crumble or stain. Regrouting the tile in your home can completely remodel the tile floor without the work of removing and replacing the tile. Before you begin, you must have the proper tools for removing grout from the tile.
Security Tools
Tile Grout Removal creates the perfect environment for flying grout parts. Always wear proper eye protection before starting tile grout removal. This will help prevent possible eye injuries that can cause eye irritation and other serious problems. Wearing gloves will protect your hands from getting rough as you leave the tile grout. A dust mask will protect you from breathing the grout powder as it is removed.
Sierra Grout
Many homeowners use grout saws to remove grout from their tiles. Anything with a strong metal tip, however, will work to remove grout from joints. Knives and hard metal marking tools (used for cutting tile size) will work just as well as a grout saw, but many owners have these tools handy. It is sufficient to apply direct pressure on the grout with the grout saw. The pressure and the metal tip of the saw will "cut" into the grout and loosen to make an extraction.
Vacuum cleaner
As you remove the grout from your tiles, you will have plenty of loose, dry pieces of grout on your floor. Maintaining a practical vacuum as you remove grout from your tile is very important. Grout that is not cleaned immediately can be stepped on as you continue to remove grout, and may scratch the top of the tiles. Simply connect the vacuum cleaner near the area where you are working. Once you have removed the grout from a whole tile, empty the grout from the plant.
