Grout in my crackle glaze

[rceb]

Hi,

I've got a problem with my new tiles! This might be a common problem to experienced tilers but not to me...

I have just installed unsealed crackle glaze tiles in my shower room however i grouted them before i sealed them, and some of the grout has seeped into the cracks. The grout is grey and the tile is cream, so it is noticeable. I have still not sealed them as i am trying to find out if there is a way of removing or minimising the grout in the cracks. It actually doesn't look too bad, its just that some tiles have the problem and some don't. Can any recommend a cleaner or abrasive (however harsh or untested) that i can try out. I have spare tiles which i can test it out on so any advice would help.

Many thanks

try a nailbrush

i didnt think that crackle glaze tiles were suitable for a shower even with sealing

i call them singing tiles as when you grout them or wet them you can here the glaze cracking

Thanks Chris, i'll try it out.
I've used them before on another shower and never had an issue with them, and they remained unsealed!
