Speedy tile grout is not a pipe dream
Grouting tiles must rank amongst the most tedious of DIY tasks but with a few special tools it can be relatively quick and straightforward. First choose your grout; most people opt for white or grey but colors are available for those with an artistic flair. Grout is a very abrasive substance so cover ceramic surfaces and block up drains to prevent damage and blockage. Never mix more grout than you can easily use in fifteen to twenty minutes otherwise the grout will begin curing and will be useless. For large tiled areas use a rubber faced float to spread the grout and force it between the tiles. Sweep the float diagonally across the tiles holding it at an angle of 45 degrees. For awkward corners use a finger or a small spreader. Clean all tile surfaces when the grout is partially cured. A plastic spatula will add the finishing touch.
