Hi
just wondering i have been grouting polished porcelain for 9 years always the same way with a wash boy but recently have been told it should be cleaned with a scouring pad to reduce digging out to much grout from the joints,could anyone tell me if they use the scouring pad technique and how to do it?
thanks

Sponge for me.....scourer is ok for epoxy grouts...

always use sponges scoures sounds interesting let us know if any one has

I've used a sponge for years on my polished porcelain floors but i saw some scourers at my suppliers designed for porcelain and thought i would give them a go.

I couldnt get as good a finish with them as a sponge ( hydro sponge, only just damp) as you have to let the grout (i use non/light sanded small joint grout on porcelain) almost dry, then when you scoured orbitally, the grout would slightly pull out in places. I tried a few variations including dampening but couldnt find anything that left the perfect grout joint.

Hi Guys,
I user a 3 sponge scourer system. Similar to a washboy sponge with varying grit pads to work with. I find them very handy especially for natural stone. Have found some of these 'Nano' porcelain tiles to be very hard to clean but a little dry white grout rubbed over the tile will help strip all wax back as well.

I'm telling you all....... brushed nylon rags are the way to grout. Sponges are to slow with the endless washing out & wringing.I only use a sponge for rough stone & non slip tiles. Not a fan of the washboy.... Get your granny's old nightie & give one a go, you'll love it guaranteed. Make sure you use the "fluffy" brushed side.

Have you got a pic of one Notch? My granny died years ago so there's no chance of asking her.....

I'll get a photo up over the next few days Supreme.

Cheers,Russ

Notch.....id love to see photos also............anything to make grouting less of a chore is worth trying///
