Getting to lots of clean water when cleaning down is the answer which of course removes the need for bottles of cure.

yes but what i find is no matter how much clean water i use there is always the need to use some sort of chemical after time to fully clean all those liittle ridges. i dont like to over do it with the water so soon after grouting as it tends to whiten a grey grout.

my back aches....
