Are you implying that it is easier to clean up than some other grouts?
Or do you sell a self cleaning version???  | | |

It's the devil's work.  | |

Finished a kitchen splash back last week black mosaic tiles with black grout 1st time using both.
Nightmare as you say had to ditch float & sponges used, took an age to clean up messy stuff but it was at customers request (did look good when complete )
Used Mapei Ultracolour for the 1st time sets a bit too fast for my liking 20 - 30 mins working time, good stuff apart from that. | | |

My last black grout customer, (and I do hope it's the last) changed her mind at the last minute from white to black grout! (piller box red tiles) This was after she had already mucked me about. What did I get for my trouble, a ONE pound tip! | | |
