The Most Common DIY Grouting Mistakes
Taking care of your grout through grouting and regrouting is essential, but it can impact how the tiles look if you don’t take care of it correctly.
Using too much water when grouting your tiles is a mistake you don’t want to make!
The three most common mistakes are:
- Using too much water on the grout when you’re grouting or regrouting. With too much water, it’ll make the tile weaker and will cause the tile and grout to have an uneven color.
- Scrubbing the tile like you would be washing a wall or other surface. If you scrub too much, you’re going to create an uneven coat, affecting the adhesion.
- Another common mistake is putting the grout unevenly amongst the tiles. This creates uneven surfaces in each, which affects how the tiles hold and how it looks and feels. This is often a result of DIY grouting projects and is the most common mistake.
