APPLICATION

  • The grout should be applied as per the instructions for the grout, including joint shaping and clean up, refer to the relevant product datasheet for the grout.
  • Once the grout has sufficiently hardened, the tiles should be polished with a dry cloth. Ensure the face of the tiles are cleaned and polished within 4-6 hours
  • For difficult to remove areas, it is recommended to use Davco Sanitized® Tile and Grout Cleaner
