    Default Cleaning grout lines

    HI Guys

    I just finished tiling a bathroom. I need to clean some excess adhesive out from the grout lines.

    What would you advise? any tools i should use etc.

    95% of the lines are clean just bits here and there

    thanks

    Glazed tiles ..easy. Natural not so, always try to work clean, when using mosaics, any through spill of adhesive can be swept into the joints or flicked out with paintbrush and water, as long as its below surface its fine to accept grout.....Gaz

    I tend to have a damp sponge at the ready to clean grout lines as I tile. I also use the blunt side of my knife.
