With a float place the grout on the tile and spread it diagonally over the surface. Push the grout between the tiles. Distribute the extra grout into the grout joints in order to completely fill them.

After removing the excess grout, you must let it sit for 10 minutes more or less or see the time in the manufacturer’s package. After that use a damp sponge to remove the excess grout in a diagonal motion. Now simply wipe over the grouted surface do it till the area streaks.

Let It Dry

Let the grout to be cured for 12 to 24 hours before checking the joints to ensure if it has completely dried.
