Troubleshooting
Grout residue remains on the tile surface after passing with the float
Ensure you are using a consistent 45-degree angle and consider cleaning the float face with a damp sponge periodically during application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No complex setup is required; simply ensure your tile joints are clean and free of tile spacers before starting. This float is compatible with all standard sanded and unsanded cement-based grouts. To maintain the tool, rinse it thoroughly in clean water immediately after finishing your project. Do not allow grout to dry on the rubber surface, as hardened residue can cause unevenness during future applications. Store the float in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the rubber handle.
