Grouting Porcelain??
Need some helpful advice from someone please. I have laid an approx 25m2 floor in 600x300 Porcelain tiles. This is the first time i have used this type of Porcelain but it has bevelled edges and is what i would call honed, very similar to travertine.
When I grouted the surface is very porous and after cleaning tile once I thought the dust cover would remove simply but how wrong I was!
Does anyone know a method or product that would assist or is it just a grout scouring pad and water?
Cheers

Try using Lithofin Cement residue remover. When you have the tiles clean then you can seal them. You should have sealed before grouting (maybe even before fixing to be safe). Use Lithofin FZ Impregnating sealer.

orbital sander with a felt pad has got me out of the muck before, if it's really stubborn try some diluted LTP Grimex
