Removing excess grout
Angela wrote:
If grout is already dry but has not been sealed yet, what is the best way to remove (scrape off?) it from the adjusted to the edge area of the travertine tile? On ceramic tile, vinegar in water is used to remove fresh grout haze. On marble, vinegar might affect the gloss. I would first try a marble cleaner - follow label instructions. A non-abrasive plastic scrubber or stiff nylon brush would probably help without scratching marble. Your question is confusing. Is this polished? Tumbled? Floor? Large area? I did a google search on "travertine remove grout haze" - lots of hits, including commercial products: http://www.custombuildingproducts.co...= pro&lang=en http://forums.findstone.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2409# |

The affected area is where a wall meets the shower stall floor made of small "mosaic" pieces. The first row from the wall have been pasted over just yesterday. |
