Tile Cleaning

Post by Blakey »

Hi All,

Bathroom tiling well on it's way with all the good advice received, however I have a small problem that I am sure you will be able to point me in the right direction, I have been cleaning the adhesive off the tiles as I have been laying them but due to it being white on white (my excuse ) I have missed some on the tiles and in the gaps, what is the best way to remove it from the surface of the tiles as the fingernails I once had have now disapeared, and do I grout over the adhesive in the gaps or remove it first.

Blakey.

If you have dried adhesive on the face of the tile , get the non-scratch "Spontex" pads..(With the white "scourer" not the green)..damp it down and the addy should come off...

use an old flat head screwdriver or a grout rake to remove as much of the addy as you can from the grout joint then run a hoover with brush attachment over to clean before grouting!
