Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Surface Preparation: Ensure the tile joints are clean, dry, and free from any loose debris or old grout.
- Mixing: Mix the Ultracolour Plus with the recommended amount of water, following the instructions on the packaging, to achieve a smooth, lump-free consistency.
- Application: Apply the grout diagonally across the tile joints using a grout float, ensuring the joints are completely filled.
- Cleaning: After the grout has partially set (as indicated on the packaging), clean the tile surfaces with a damp sponge, removing excess grout.
- Curing: Allow the grout to fully cure as per the manufacturer's instructions before exposing it to water or heavy use.

Care
