Is it just me or does anybody else struggle with clean up using ultra colour plus . And I'm not talking about polished or high gloss tiles

 

[On one]

Nope.
My grout of choice, the only problems I have encountered were with the tiles (riven) or the ambient temperature(cold)

 

[macten]

Nope

Sometimes you just need look at a tile and wonder if it is worth the time and effort involved in cleaning and buffing the tiles. ....because you just know you're going to have to acid wash the tiles afterwards.

Surely it should be easier than that

 

[On one]

It should be......but it is, what it is

 

[kevsalt]

seal em with stain block ...it comes off a lot easier ..or just change the grout for bal micro or tm 3000

So what is the secret then to clean this of the tiles .

 

[Dumbo]

You are telling me you are sealing no porous tiles to make grouting g easier

I had the same thing today. Had to grout 4.5 m2 of black Ruarbon quarry tiles ON A WALL! In anthracite!
Joints were 5-7mm. Bloody horrible to clean off.

 

[kevsalt]

you wouldnt seal a smooth glazed tile ..i meant the big porc ones with the rough anti slip finish these are the ones where the grout is always hard to remove ..or pitted limestone etc

I just find any tile that isn't high gloss is hard to clean
