My project was relatively small, only a 3\u2019x3\u2019 area so this relatively small container of grout was more than sufficient. As a matter of fact, even though it was a small container there was sufficient grout to cover 84 square feet of floor tile area using \u00bc inch grout spaces.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of water I used a grout additive solution to mix with the grout. I followed the manufacturer\u2019s recommendations and mixed the correct quantities in a 2.5 gallon bucket. I used a paint stick to<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Once I had a smooth mixture of grout that was not too loose and not too firm, I then let it set for about 5-10 minutes, per the instructions on the grout container.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3369 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Grout_Material-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Grout material\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Grout_Material-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Grout_Material.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3370\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Grout_Mixing-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Grout mixing\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Grout_Mixing-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Grout_Mixing.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>After wetting down the ceramic tile floor area I then worked the grout into the tile floor cracks using a grout float.

You do not want to use the old water as it will just leave a filmy residue of grout on the ceramic tile surface.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, 30 minutes later I made another pass with the sponge and another bucket of clean water.<\/p>\n<p>Each day for the next three days I lightly washed the ceramic tile floor area to clean off any residual grout.<\/p>\n<p>For this particular project I did not seal the grout as it is in area where there is no risk of water or staining. However, for most other grouting and ceramic floor tile projects it is wise to apply a grout sealer to the grout lines to prevent water penetration and stains.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #008000; font-size: large;\">For information on installing a shower pan membrane liner for a ceramic tile shower<\/span><\/strong>, see the <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/ebooks\/shower-pan-membrane-ebook\/\">Shower Pan Membrane Liner Installation Ebook<\/a><\/strong><\/span> from HomeAdditionPlus.com.\u00a0 The Shower Pan Membrane Liner EBook will quickly teach you the step-by-step process for installing the shower pan membrane liner correctly.
