How long after tile installation can you put in a washer dryer and
refrigerator?



I would wait at least a week from the time the tile was set. Better would
be a week after the grout went in.

For cement they try to keep autos off of it for at least 30 days. Thinset
and grout are cement based products. The longer you can wait up to 30 days
the better.

Somehow I think he means vinyl tile.
You can put them back the same day IF you put boards under the legs.
Leave the boards for a few days if you can. Better yet, wait 24
hours, then use the boards under for a few more days. The hardest
part is bring the appliances into the room, not just sitting in place.
