Removing Grout from Tile |
|
|
My husband made a mess with grout in the bathroom around the tub when laying new tile. Is there a way to remove all the old grout while leaving the tile intact? The grout was not sealed and he did not finish cleaning the grout off the top of the tile. Now it is hardened on the tile. I want to redo it right, while he is deployed. It is a jacuzzi tub with a tile surround so there is a lot of tile grout to be removed.

Hi,
We have been tiling our whole house in a remodel. You can just scrape and scrape and scrape. The best thing is just to use good old fashioned elbow grease. Good luck. Lori

I agree with the double edged blade. I used to clean new houses before they were ready to be sold and it worked well to get the plaster off of windows. i use one for everything. I keep one by my sink to scrape food off of pots too.

Use a single-edged razor blade to scrape it off. (07/24/2007)

We used Muriatic Acid - Use caution - the stuff eats everything - It ate right through the knees of our jeans and the tops of our shoes. You must wear masks and industrial gloves and make sure the area is well ventilated. Do small areas at a time. Ask the guys at Home Depot or Lowes, they can be more helpful. (07/24/2007)
