Washboy Woes

[Flintstone]

its some times the grout if you have it too runny also get as much off the tiles with the grout pad I buy one every 2 weeks then quick wipe over .also I finish off with micro fiber cloths never any problem, with tile master 3000
are u using webers they are a night mare so are mapie

Always grout 3000 for me. What do you class as a grout pad?
I probably am guilty of washing off a bit soon, I always have done tho. I give a second wipe down with a microfibre cloth ones it's dry from first wash

i give grout 3000 and mapei ucp a fair bit of time before i start to wash off. longer for 3000. i haven't washed anything off without a washboy for over 10 years and think they are a invaluable piece of kit for a tiler. it looks like you are going a bit too soon with it, especially with porc, if it is porc.

mine are marshal town ones as find the rubber better than most
I leave in for a good 10 mins but get most of the grout off first

Raimondi sponge floats are the best bar none.

Raimondi sponge floats are the best bar none.

are they the ones that have a separate flat plastic bit that the handle attaches too?

Sack your washboy and employ a microfibre cloth.

I don't think you can beat a good bal sponge, unless your using plank tiles or something with a lot of joints, of a large floor area, then a sponge is a little slow/
