black grout and washboy

[brian c]

Dont you just hate black grout?It gets everywhere if you dont use masking tape on the wall tiles at floor level...then you have the added pleasure of buying yourself a new washboy sponge float as the black grout aint gonna come out....just a little gripe...lol

now have sponge float for black grout and another for the lighter colours.

Grout the floor before the wall tiles go up

Yes, my hands were black for weeks afterwards as well

 

[White Room]

I use the mapei stuff and it goes off quick but use 2 different sponges with the washboy, one for black and the other for other colours

 

[davy_G]

Ive different sponges for dark and light grout as well. I tend to use my sponge in worst shape for black though then ditch it.
