Have read your grout threads with interest.

Any tiler who is worth his salt should know how to let a grout firm before cleaning down , doing so will always leave a grout job with consistent colour.

The patching most mention is polymer leaching and not bad grout mixing etc,

So IMHO , learn to grout properly and not diss grouts by any manufacturer unless you have shown you have an actual grout problem , then get it tested etc.

Over wetting a grout joint that has not had enough setting time will pull polymers time and time again , don't take offence at this , just clean down at the right time.

And if a certain grout does not work for you , then why use it ffs. ?

As we always say , use what you are happy with , SIMPLES!!!

Ok got the messages.

When is the right time to clean down? does not say that on the packet, therefore any body using these products for the first time is more than likley to have a problem of one sort or another. Given that, don't we have a responsbillity to the public to ensure that risk is minimised. have another look at the post 4&5 This is about getting manufactures to highlight potential issues with clear labelling and taking responsbillity for their products. Can you understand where I'm coming from? I've accepted the fact that the grouting has been washed out. what are the manufactures doing to inform the public.
Thanks for your reply
