MIX PREPARATION

4. Allow mixture to stand for 5 minutes, remix then use the grout.

APPLICATION
Grouting
1. Prior to grouting it is advisable to lightly dampen the grout joints, particularly with porous tiles or in warmer conditions. If the tiles are particularly porous it is advisable to prime the joints with Davco 4 in 1 Grout Additive after dampening to seal the edge of the tile.
2. Using a rubber float or squeegee work Davco Sanitized Colorgrout into the joints in a diagonal motion making sure that the grout does not just sit on top of the joint i.e. the grout does not bridge the joint.
3. Remove excess grout from the surface of the tiles with the rubber float or squeegee using a diagonal motion.
4. Use a damp sponge to clean up the remainder of the grout. Regularly rinsing the sponge out to assist in cleaning.
5. Finally remove any excess moisture from the grout joints, to avoid discolouration or colour variation problems.
6. Allow the grout to cure for 24 hours before cleaning the grout haze with a soft dry cloth.
7. Hard to remove haze can be cleaned with Davco Sanitized® Tile & Grout Cleaner.
