Default cleaning adhesive from tiles

Hi again,
Can someone give me a few pointers with cleaning the adhesive from tiles please, I sick of spending time cleaning the ahdesive from between tiles that get squeezed up from the middle (between the tiles), I'm probably putting on too much, but does anyone else spend some time cleaning between tiles, if so what tool if any do you use.

Quick stanley knife when packing up followed by a stiff wet paintbrush to shove it back behind the tiles
