Grout main floor tiles While grouting is not a difficult process, a well-grouted job can make all the difference to the finished project. Step 1 When mixing the grout, add the water first then the powder to ensure a thorough mix with no lumps. Follow the instructions on the packet and mix to a thick paste-like consistency. Apply the grout. Push it into the joints and compress by wiping over at an angle across the joints. Do not apply grout to the corners where walls meet floors and where two walls meet. Silicone will need to be applied here. Step 2 Allow the grout to dry and for a film to set on the face of the tiles (this will take about an hour) and then remove all the excess grout. Clean up with a damp (but not too wet) sponge. Do not wash the floor or overly wet the surface. The trick is to lift the film without wetting the actual grouted joint. Make sure that you keep rinsing the sponge as you work. Step 3 After most of the grout is removed from the primary wash repeat the process with a damp sponge. Then buff over it with clean cloths and a doodle bug. After the tiles are completely clean, use a grout sealer like AquaMix Sameday Grout Sealer.

tip:
The size of your tiles will determine the size of your trowel. For tiles smaller than 300x300, you can use an 8mm trowel, otherwise you’ll need a 10 or 12mm trowel.
