how to get grout off the tiles

Post by siraz »

My wife been cleaning the tiles and soon it is dried, the cloudy effect appears on the tiles and she has had enough of cleaning the tiles for the past 3-4 days.

What is the beat way to remove this stuff quickly or is there something on the market which you can buy.

She has been using clean water and sponge. I left the gorunt for few days due to hot weather kids wanted to go to the theme park.

If you have cleaned it a few times water a wet cloth/sponge then wait until dry and then clean off the cloudy residue with a dry cloth or a dry sponge using a damp cloth will just spread it about
If you think nobody cares, try missing a couple of payments..

what tiles are they ceramic, porcelain???

imagine there the latter some porcelain needs to be sealed proir to grouting as the like to soak everything in.

if this is the case, carry on with the advice already given with plenty of elbow grease try also working samller areas i.e a m2.

your local shop could supply a cement grout remover. beware they can be acidic try on a small area as the can damage your tile and grout

Thank you for your reply,

I have managed to remove it, but my grout line they are not vertical or horizontal in straight line, as there are some excess grout build up during the application of the Grouting.

I used the HG Cement Grout film Remover

My Tiles are Ceramics from B&Q.

I like your pictures too as you are one of the few people that attach the pictures, rather than hosting them on other sites :thumbright:
