Grout joint cleaning

[TJ Smiler]

For 8 years i have been using bits of old cardboard, pencil ends, spacers and wedges to clean out my tile joins. Or my finger which is now torn to shreds!!

But then i had a light bulb moment and took my tooth brush in to do the job........... Perfect remedy for this annoying job, one wipe with my trusty firm head Oral B brush and it was all done. Flick the adhesive off the end into your bucket and then keep your tooth brush in your sponge bucket. No mess at the end, no sore finger which the Mrs is happy about and a perfectly clean crack too (no pun intended lol)

Just though i'd share with you all.

Funny how things like this suddenly pop into your head! I have had a toothbrush for this purpose in my tool kit since my first tiling job! Recently upgraded to a dedicated joint brush from Tradetiler.

I have one of those brushes but it wore rather quickly on the one edge. Cleans the joints out ok though.
