[leslie]

Why do I hate Black grout so much, I find it so messy .does my head in.:mad2:

 

[DHTiling]

The dreaded, takes for ever to clean up colour.. :lol:

 

[leslie]

I am glad I am not on my own

You're not on your own, antrasit is my enemy, soon as the sponge goes in the clean wash boy water, the water goes black, takes an age to wring sponge out between wipes, sits on clothes and skin better that it sits on walls & floors, there should be a law against it

Horrid stuff, I have an old float just for black grout and don't even bother cleaning the buckets after, straight in the bin.

Same as everything is pretty much throw away don't want anything in the van from the dreaded black stuff.

Anything darker than mid-grey and I'm having palpitations !!!! Always wear my 'gynaecological' gloves, can't be doing with stained hands.

 

[judge]

theres nothing better than getting home after a slog on the black stuff to realise half of it is on your face

I'm with Bri. Old float used & buckets straight in the bin. Nightmare stuff to work with. It's the only time I'll use bend over rovers cause that stain stays on your hands & under your nails for days. I even wear a black t-shirt when using it now. God I hate the stuff!

I would say that the worst I have ever used is the cherry red butech grout for the Porcelanosa crystal tiles. It is like nuclear waste, you cannot get rid of it!

don't like black grout, but allways use latex gloves( so hands doesn't get as dirty) and keap changing water often

 

[peteablard]

Just done a couple of toilets with it in a new restaurant in London. The job was a nightmare to start with and we didn't know what colour grout was being used. As you can imagine we were really chuffed when the dreaded black stuff turned up:yikes:

The ardex innocent black grout is probably the best I have found for washing off

 

[White Room]

Black grout is the work of the devil....:devil:

On the Lidl stores we used black epoxy, black cement based grout is bad enough, but epoxy:yikes: I used to wear latex gloves and the old marigolds, and still managed to have black hands for weeks.:mad2:
