Grouting tile is relatively simple and straight forward but one should remember to be careful during the grout clean up process in order not to ruin the nice job that you are about to complete. When wiping away the excess grout from your tile be careful to wring out your sponge very well so as not to introduce too much water in to the grout thus weakening the grout because of too much moisture.

Also, take care when wiping the excess grout so you don’t wipe the surface area too hard causing some of the grout to be removed and leaving you with little gaps and pockets in the grout joints where the grout was washed away.

Just a little tip which could make the difference between a perfect grout job and one that looks like it was done by an amateur.
