Service Process
PREP
WORK – Clean the joints and Vacuum the grout lines, then scrape any
protruding grout using a stiff putty knife and vacuum again. Don't scrape too
hard or you may chip the tile glazing on your how to grout tile project.
TAPE OFF
THE TILE BEFORE GROUTING - For easier cleanup, tape off painted walls to
protect them from grout. Also tape off trim or inset tiles that feature
imprinted patterns with crevices.
MIX THE
GROUT BY HAND - Mix the grout with a margin trowel until all the powder is dissolved.
Roll the bucket frequently while mixing. Scrape the bottom to make sure all the
grout is mixed.
A

thin-set, scraping out joints, cleaning buckets and tools, spreading
mayonnaise, flipping pancakes, etc.
Mix your
grout to the consistency of creamy peanut butter.
LOAD THE

it onto the float. This technique is used by professionals which very useful.
REMOVING
TILE GROUT - Simplify ceramic tile grout removal by using a carbide-grit blade in
a reciprocating saw or an oscillating tool. Both speed up this tough, tedious
chore.
SPREAD
THE GROUT - Smear the grout diagonally across the tile to force it deep into the
joints and prevent it from being sucked back out as your float slides along.
Always grout the walls first for this how to grout tile project, and after
they're finished, the floor. That'll keep you from messing up a finished floor.
CLEAN
OFF EXCESS GROUT - Remove the bulk of the grout by wiping in a serpentine motion. This
helps evenly distribute the grout and prevents the grout float edge from
digging into grout lines.
SPONGE
THE SURFACE - Sweep a damp (not wet!) sponge diagonally across the tile. Rinse your
sponge often and repeat until you're left with a thin haze. Once the grout has
started to harden (20 to 30 minutes), begin sponging. Don't use just any
sponge, especially one from the kitchen; choose a “hydrophilic” (water-loving) sponge.
TOOL THE
GROUT LINES - Depress the sponge with your index finger and smooth out high or
uneven grout lines. Don't push too hard. Your goal of this how to grout tile
project is grout joints all the same shape and depth.

towel or, better yet, a microfiber towel. After all the joints have been
dressed, step away for about a half hour to let the surface dry and form a haze
KEEP
SOME GROUT FOR REPAIRS - It's a good idea to hold on to a small quantity of
unused grout for future touch-ups as you discover how to grout tile.
CAULK
ALL INSIDE CORNERS - Use a grouting caulk on inside corners after
grouting and cleaning.
