      I AM HAVING A TERRIBLE TIME WITH BLACK GROUT ON 6 INCH GRAY CLAY TILES WITH A 3/8’S INCH JOINT. THE BLACK SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE TO CLEAN OFF WITHOUT DRAGGING BLACK GROUT OUT OF THE JOINTS WITH THE SLIGHTEST
      TOUCH OF SPONGE. IF THE GROUT IS NOT LEFT SEVERAL HOURS TO GET ALMOST HARD IT SMEARS ON TILES. IT IS HARD TO CLEAN OVER ABOUT 10 SQUARE FEET IN AN HOUR. I HAVE 11OO SQ FT TO DO. THAT WOULD TAKE 110 HOURS FOR JUST THE GROUTING PART.
      I DID SEAL THE TILES TWICE BEFORE STARTING TO GROUT. IF YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS THAT WILL HELP ME, PLEASE RESPOND BY E-MAIL.

      THANKS

      Hi there

      I was interested in your problem. Did you manage to resolve it?

      In my experience there is no easy answer. The only way is to painstakingly clean any excess of at the time (a bit like bricklaying) and smooth the line out – small bits can be removed later but it is tedious. If do you leave it till later its very difficult to remove.

      I have a problem with old white tile grouting that has turned black in places. Do you know of any way the black can be cleaned off without digging it out and re-doing it. Alternatively is there anything it can be cleaned with which will stop it turning black in the first place.

      Regards
      Chris
