Cleaning Excess Grout
Allow the tile to set up for 15-20 minutes, or until
firm, in the joints. Using a damp sponge or cloth wipe any excess from the
face of the tiles. Rinse out the sponge or rag often enough to keep it clean.
Allow the grout to dry another 45 minutes or until a
haze forms on the tiles and use the sponge to polish the surface of the tiles.
Be careful not to rub the grout from the joints. If it seems like you just
can't get the tile clean then let it dry a bit more. After several hours you
should use a clean towel to polish the tiles.
Curing the Grout
For the next three days, before using a grout sealer,
lightly mist the grout. On the fourth day, use a grout sealer to ensure a good
solid installation. These sealers will keep the grout sealed from stains and
water.
