I always try and not rush the grouting, i have seen a few good tiling jobs but the grouting was really bad, shame to rush it take your time its those finishing touches that get the WOW fACTOR. | ||||||||||

Mix grout with a drill gets it really smooth, and let the grout stand for 5 Min's before grouting, has to be like thick cream not to runny, when cleaning with you sponge go across the tiles at 45 degrees don't clean horizontally or vertically as you will pull the grout out of the joints. | ||||||||||
