How to Remove Grout from Hard Surface

Considering that you are among those lucky ones, who haven’t yet faced the problem of grout-deposit on the floor, let’s know what grout is! Grout is basically the cement applied between two tiles to keep them in place. Applying grout is undoubtedly a messy affair, but messier is the leftover grout on the floor/tile surface.

Cleaning grout requires slightly more effort and attention in comparison to regular dirt or a tough stain. However, the good news is, there are a few not-so-difficult methods to remove grout without damaging the floor.

1) Sooner the better

2) Be consistent (Don't take up the easy route of using a sharp tool or a harsh floor cleaner)

For hardened grout, begin with scrubbing the grout with a less-coarse sandpaper and then use a brush to dust of the remains. Then, pour a concentrated solution of warm water and natural floor cleaner on the affected area, and cover it with a moist cloth soaked in the same solution for over a hour. Before the mop dries, remove the mop, and use a medium-strength bristle brush to lightly scrub off any residual remains of the grout. Further, wipe the affected area with a soft cloth soaked in the same floor cleaner-warm water solution and let it dry. This method has to be followed regularly till the grout is completely scrubbed off the floor.

For fresh or damp grout, again pour a concentrated solution of floor cleaner - warm water on the grout, dip a fine wire mesh/wool in the remaining solution and scrub the grout gently. This will dissolve the grout easily. Once the grout has been scrubbed off, wipe it further with a damp cloth soaked in the same solution and then wipe off with a soft dry cloth.
