I have grouted miles of tile. Best tip i could give that you skipped is take your damp sponge and go over the tile first slightly wetting it. That tip comes from lots of experience. It will make grout clean up 3 times easier. Then of course on a 45° and press in hard. Your forearms should be sore if doing it correctly.

You can also use a Rubber mallet and just start whacking the bucket from the outside and the cement just comes right out in a few mins. Done it with thinset 4 times now, will try it with grout as well. Make sure to use only a rubber mallet and not a hammer lol.

Jeff, I accidentally used that same floor grout in an old project from a few years ago and let it sit too long before wiping. We were chiseling and scraping out dried grout for days until it looked tolerable. Painful lesson learned.

Cheers Jeff!! Great work as always!! Looks superb. Congrats! Many thanks for your tips. I do your overnight cement/grout one as well! Annoys the heck out of me seeing 'tradies' spending a huge amount of water cleaning buckets and just wasting the clients water!! Here in Spain, water is precious, as it soon will be in more and more place!! The arrogance of some 'tradies' does my head in, very ease to see why the majority get a bad rep! Take care matey and all the best to you and your family. mike-barcelona

I’m just a random DIY guy and I’m wondering why you wouldn’t apply the grouting more deliberately on the grout lines, similarly to how you would plaster a joint rather than slobbering the grouting all over the tiles and making a mess that you inevitably have to clean up, not to mention the amount of grouting that would fall off The wall. When I do grouting, I just follow the lines and press as I go and then I finish off without typical 45° angle to clean up the surface and majority of the grouting goes where it needs to and a larger part of the tile remains clean and does not require endless Cleaning.

For all those saying just do the grout lines he mentions in the shower tile video that he goes across the tiles at a 45 deg angle to push out all the air in the line and prevent bubbles that need to be fixed later. You then scrape the overflow off the tiles as you go which can be moved to the next area.

Hi Jeff - newbie here checking in ! This is off above subject but now I’m a member I was looking for the CREW FORUM not sure if it’s availability all the time or not .. anyway my quick question is : we are finishing off a basement and have applied the underlayment and osb to the concrete floor now we are gluing the rigid insulation foamboard to the walls - at the place where the board insulation meets the concrete floor do I position the foam behind the underlayment? I don’t want it sitting on top of it and can I tape it? Thanks so much!

@@user-wq3qn8wq5s NO, just apply the grout with float over the gaps and not the entire tile or area. The tiles don’t need grout only the gaps. Speed, efficiency, and quality is the key with grouting. If you have tiny tiles like 1” or 3” tiles then I will grout over the entire area. But large tiles like has there, never grout the entire area, just the gaps.

Always use the whole bag, it avoids a whole lot of problems?? And what would those problems be Jeff? That we aren't smart enough to do the math and calculate the amount of water for half a bag?? What about smaller jobs? As others have stated, why apply grout to all the tile instead of concentrating on the joints?? Do you like a bigger cleanup, and waste? You're one of the better DIY dudes, but you're not the be-all end-all to DIY, and viewers should not take anything you content providers throw out as gospel.

I wonder if it's because colorants or other ingredients in the grout powder could settle unevenly in the bag... so if you were to only use half the bag, you might not be getting an even distribution of colorants and whatnot. I'm not a grout expert, but that's just where my mind went.
