Was It The Grout Or The Tiles??

Thanks for the replies - it's pretty much as I expected. Got more of these to do so will try the Bal sealer.

LTP all the way!!! Give 'em a coat of Mattstone first and that will do the trick. Any excess that does't sink in "should" be taken off during the grouting process... but LTP Powerstipper on hand if it doesn't. As for the grout stains, have you tried any grout stain remover products? The LTP Grout Stain Remover works a treat with an LTP Black Emulsifying pad....

There we go.... earned my commission for the day 😉

even if you seal with a suitable impregnator you line the capillary it does not fill , so grout can get lodged in the micro pore. The sealer we a discussing is a topical finish that fills these pores only while you grout and removes easily, leaving the tile un contaminated.

Grout removed with a cement/ remover use brushes as this will get into these micro pores as the product breaks the cementisiouse product down , pads will generally skip across the face tile brushes will aid this removal. Also would never use a black pad as have seen many cases of tiles ( porc and ceramics also)being affect by this harsh pad, let the chemical do the work release with a white.
