Been Installing Tiles For 30 Years I've Never Seen Such a Technique! Clean Grouts

The joints between the tiles become dirty and black over time, and it is often difficult to clean these joints. That's why in this video we showed you how you can renew your joints. If you want to re-whiten your dirty joints, be sure to watch this video on how to clean tile joints.

[@sarz747]

I've used this grout removal and regrouting technique to refresh all the old dirty grout between all my floor tiles and wall tiles in kitchen, laundry and bathrooms, bit-by-bit, over many years. A big and successful project. I found it generates a lot of dust, simultaneous vacuum cleaning is essential. The multitool also chews through a lot of these expensive carbide grout removal blades. But the really pleasing end result justifies the expense and effort. I used Davco Rejuvenation Grout (Antique Lace colour). It comes premixed in small pails, a bit expensive, but lends itself to working in small areas when I had small amounts of free time available. This grout is designed to stick to existing grout which means that you only have to remove a small depth of old dirty grout crust, doesn't have to be removed all the way down to the floor substrate. I used a small tiling sponge in alternating half-circular motions to flush the regrout lines with the surface of the tiles, and a microfibre cloth to polish off the fresh haze left over on the tiles after final sponge clean - don't wait too long because the dried haze is hard to remove, requires real sweaty effort. If/when it dries out slightly and gets a bit stiff in the pail, I just added some water and used a scraper to stab/mix the water in to make it nice and buttery again, like thick yoghurt. No need to throw any away, just spray surface of pail contents with water, keep pail closed and store inside a plastic bag in a cool place.

[@stevenhewish7758]

I used a cement sheet cutter to remove my grout it's a beast and zero dust. I also use a grouting float and push the grout into the joins

[@sarz747]

The reason why new clean grout get dirty over time is because wet sloppy mopping of the floor causes fine dirt particles to settle and embed into down into grout lines, making them grimy and uncleanable over time. Once you have finished grouting or regrouting, only use a damp finger-type damp mop with a spinning bucket to clean the floor, so no dirt-contaminated water slops into the grout grooves. I've been cleaning my regrouted tile floor with a damp finger mop for a few years now, grout line still look great! I guess it has also helped that I sealed the fresh dry regrout lines with a waterproofing sealer recommended by the regrout manufacturer.

[@sheiladevin6034]

Also use a dry mop as you go along to lift the dirty water off the grout before it dries in the grooves. Change floor mopping water regularly

[@okbutthenagain.9402]

Much easier and cleaner way is to use a piping bag along the joints filling as you go along. After a while, simply use a wide putty filler/knife to clean the now filled joints. Then simply use a clean damp cloth to finish. The way the guy in the video did it is labour intensive and uses so many different tools when all you need really are two.

[@johnniethepom7545]

the easiest way to remove grout is with a cordless grinder with a thin metal cutting blade ! It is a very dusty process so is not suitable for every type of job . The grout shown in this example is far too wet . Being a cement product grout needs to mixed with the minimum of water and should be tooled into the joints . A washboard is the best way to wash off excess grout . The 45^ wipe is the most even way to wash off .

[@inothing7370]

Lol ok.. Don't do this. Grout needs to be worked into the joints by hand. This will prevent voids from forming in the grout lines. It also allows you to see where the grout has filled the joint entirely and where it has not. Work in small areas and batches.. avoid black grout as it is a bitch to clean up. However, if it's a high traffic area black is particle.

[@hudnad3741]

I thought he is using white cement.

[@grrinc]

Agreed. Grout has to be worked in deep, not simply floated over.

[@HowsItHappening]

Plus it's obviously mixed with way too much water. No grout I've ever used in 20 years of tiling is supposed to flow like that.

[@randalwc]

@@HowsItHappening I agree, that grout is gonna be weak and brittle and effervescence would be a big issue on any color but bright white.

[@inothing7370]

Would this work for epoxy or other synthetic grout? This is clearly BS with regard to cement grout

[@JustGG1956]

When your tile is installed and the grout has cured, seal the grout with a grout sealing product. If done correctly and reapplied often enough, your grout looks like new without stain or flaw for decades. If you do not want to hire a professional to do this, do one section at a time every day off until it is totally completed. Don't expect your hired housekeeper to keep your grout flawlessly clean if it is not properly sealed.
