cleaning flagstone grout
Hi there, I had picked out some flagstone to face a wall, it has good
colaration and also quartz glitter. After the workers grouted it, they havn't done the best to clean the grout off, leaving a hazy look. They don't care about the look as much as I do, not bad but not to the degree of cleaniness I would have done myself... but I wasn't there to supervise unfortunately. It has been less than 24 hours so I might do some action... Do you think I could use something to clean it up better? how about a good scrub with some water and scrotch brite pad? Or just a sponge? |

cleaning flagstone grout
Just a sponge for now, and don't rub too hard on the grout itself.
If there is grout in the grain you acn use a toothbrush to get it out. Kate ______ /l ,[____], l-L -OlllllllO- ()_)-()_)--)_) wrote in message ups.com...

Probably muriatic acid, but I believe you need to wait maybe a few weeks. |

Some cementitious materials take a week or more to approach full hardness. I'd relax. Time and sun/weather will have effect, too. I'd keep it covered and moist right now, to fully cure. Maybe later, a quick scrub with dilute HCl. Maybe not. HTH, J |
