Lightly dampen tile beforegrouting. Spread grout over the face of the tile using a rubbergrout float. Work grout back and forth at a 45˚ angle tothe face of the tile to ensure complete filling of joints.Remove excess grout using the edge of the rubber floatmoving diagonally across the face of the tile.GROUT CLEANINGUse Hydroment Remove for cleaning latex grouts and difficultgrout haze. Once grout firms (approximately 30 minutesafter application), clean excess grout from the face of the tile.Using a damp, closed cell sponge, wipe diagonally across thegrout joints.
