Grout raking?? - Tile Advice

[smudger85]

Ive been asked to rake out a 15 m2,porcelain floor,grouted in bal super flex. Its been done to a bad standard as the joints are very low and have got very dirty.I just wondered what peoples thoughts were on the best way of doing this? Manualy with a grout rake or invest in a fein multi tool?? The tile are 800x800. Any feed back would be great.
Thank you.

fein without a doubt, it's a great tool to have in your box

Defo a fein or a Bosch or a cheapy aldi equivalent! That kind of tool anyway

Any of the multi tools, for the cost of it it will save you in terms of labour costs ( priced ) chipped tiles and blood sweat tears and curses, trust me on this, once done never repeated.

Hardie Backer knife is as good as anything.

But don't slip and scratch the tile:whistling:

take a hoover and clean up as you go otherwise the dust will coat everything

if you go down the multi tool route, make sure you get a corded one, the batteries in the bosch cordless ones are useless.
