- The joints between the tiles become dirty and black over time, and it is often difficult to clean these joints. That's why in this video we showed you how you can renew your joints. If you want to re-whiten your dirty joints, be sure to watch this video on how to clean tile joints.

I worked for a huge commercial tile company 30 years ago.We did malls, hospitals, buildings, etc. They bought these huge grout washing machines from Germany. These things had a big wash tub on small casters, that had a circular sponge that was about 18" wide and 4' in diameter. the machine kind of worked like an old timey washing machine with several sets of rollers the 3 HP motor pushed the sponge thru. You could clean tile faster than 4 experienced grouters could grout. We could grout several thousand feet of tile in one day. If you knew how to operate the machine, you did not have to go back to clean any grout haze, other than a spot here or there. Amazing machine..
Expensive machine lol
German Technologie 👌
3hp? omfg more than my f*cking car (almost tbh :()

I cleaned an enormous area of grout in my home one month ago with Lysol toilet bowl cleaner and I am so happy with the result. Applied blue Lysol toilet bowl cleaner to the grout lines, let sit 15 minutes, scrub grout with a wire grout brush, wipe away toilet bowl cleaner with a towel. It took me one week, four hours per day to do a kitchen, bathroom, laundry room and hall. I divided the job into 4 hour sessions because the fumes from the product can be strong and irritating. Twenty year old grout looks almost new!
I would be worried that the harsh chemicals would affect the finish on the tiles??
Керхером под напором воды,всё отлтчно моется.Зачем нюхать химию?
@@johnbannister501 Many tiles are porcelain which toilet are. Natural or non man made tiles such as slate may etch or colour change, you could test a small area first. Other cleaning options are vinegar or steam cleaning. A lot depends on how bad or deep the damage or black mold has gone into the grout. Sometimes the neglect has gone to far and replacement is the only option.
grind out old grout. add new grout . done
Was the tb cleaner with or without bleach formula?
I've used this grout removal and regrouting technique to refresh all the old dirty grout between all my floor tiles and wall tiles in kitchen, laundry and bathrooms, bit-by-bit, over many years. A big and successful project. I found it generates a lot of dust, simultaneous vacuum cleaning is essential. The multitool also chews through a lot of these expensive carbide grout removal blades. But the really pleasing end result justifies the expense and effort.
I used Davco Rejuvenation Grout (Antique Lace colour). It comes premixed in small pails, a bit expensive, but lends itself to working in small areas when I had small amounts of free time available.
This grout is designed to stick to existing grout which means that you only have to remove a small depth of old dirty grout crust, doesn't have to be removed all the way down to the floor substrate. I used a small tiling sponge in alternating half-circular motions to flush the regrout lines with the surface of the tiles, and a microfibre cloth to polish off the fresh haze left over on the tiles after final sponge clean - don't wait too long because the dried haze is hard to remove, requires real sweaty effort.
If/when it dries out slightly and gets a bit stiff in the pail, I just added some water and used a scraper to stab/mix the water in to make it nice and buttery again, like thick yoghurt. No need to throw any away, just spray surface of pail contents with water, keep pail closed and store inside a plastic bag in a cool place.

@@connieeddy178 one way to save this post is to select what you want to keep with a mouse, then copy and paste it into a word document.

Hallo lieber Sportsfreund, in 1961 bin ich mit 14 Jahren in die Fliesen,-Platten-und Mosaikleger Lehre gekommen. Da wurden die Fußböden schon mit der Technik des Gummischiebers ausgeführt 🤪
Muy buena tecnica gracias por compartir.desde Mi Peru.🇵🇪
Very informative. Thanks
Adorei essa técnica do rodo, confesso que nunca tinha visto.

So the house I currently owe was renovated by the previous owner. He did all kinds of upgrades and fixed things and did them very well but the o e thing he did do that I realize was pure genius was using coloured grout in the bathroom and kitchen. At first I thought it was odd but now realize how smart. Easy to clean and if it was white grout would drive me nuts. My buddy pointed that out after he got his kitchen done and had white grout installed. Said he should have gone with dark grey like mine. Cool video though.
@@StonemanRocks that is awesome. They shouldn’t even make it a choice. Just go with the best and it sounds like the epoxy is. Next grout job I do will be that. I wish the guy did my stand up shower with coloured grout. Thanks man
@@StonemanRocks true in short run about being expensive but from what I have read in long run makes way more sense and like my dad used to say cheap becomes expensive in the long run. But thanks for the tip!
@@StonemanRocks I’d pay the difference if it meant my grout looked clean and uniform. It’s o ly $75 extra dollars and amortized over 25 years is $3.00 a year which would be a huge savings Vs the cost of cleaners and time etc. but I hear what you are saying. Thanks for the info. Take care.
The reason why new clean grout get dirty over time is because wet sloppy mopping of the floor causes fine dirt particles to settle and embed into down into grout lines, making them grimy and uncleanable over time.
Once you have finished grouting or regrouting, only use a damp finger-type damp mop with a spinning bucket to clean the floor, so no dirt-contaminated water slops into the grout grooves.
I've been cleaning my regrouted tile floor with a damp finger mop for a few years now, grout line still look great!
I guess it has also helped that I sealed the fresh dry regrout lines with a waterproofing sealer recommended by the regrout manufacturer.
Also use a dry mop as you go along to lift the dirty water off the grout before it dries in the grooves. Change floor mopping water regularly

Use an acid cleanse to get rid of the smudge.
I am vacuuming the floor before steam mopping and monthly scrub the grouts with a dish brush and degreaser. I found this the easiest way to keep them clean.
This is wonderful. Thankyou Sandra asGrace
I can do tile work but this guy doing amazing work you guys should support this excellent work !
Amazing work
Eso.me.parece normal,nuestro piso tiene feas las juntas y yo había pensado hacer lo mismo.me place saber q si se puede hacer,me parece muy buena la técnica
Wow! 30 years never seen this wow !!!!! Amazing!!!!!! I been cooking for 50 year and did not know that the fry pan has only one handle !!!!so donot feel lonely !!!!!!🫢🤫🔴wow 30 years 🤫
Very clear nice job
Good idea 👍 thank you sir
Prático demais. E fica perfeito.
Pratico ???????
Great video
I've done this so many times for customers. Having relatively no dust is great. I also use an angle grinder with two diamond blades and a dust extractor .On large area I would use a Rubi long handled grouting squeegee. A day or so after the grout has cured I would seal the grout with Lithofin sealer. It is great stuff. I even use it on showers and kitchens. All grouts are cement based so sealing has to be done. A mop is a dangers tool.

Everytime I mess around the brittle tile edges with metal hand tools ( trying to remove excess thinset ) , I eventually pop and chip the porcelain on the edge. Removing grout with a carbide blade is not as easy as it looks . This job close up may not be pretty I'm guessing.
@@StonemanRocks Epoxy grout is another world.

Amazing 👏
Класс 👍, но швы надо делать тёмные,белые через полгода уже будут грязные, поэтому напольная плитка всегда должна быть темного цвета. 🇰🇿
Perfektní nápad...
Wow good idea. Thanks.
I used a cement sheet cutter to remove my grout it's a beast and zero dust. I also use a grouting float and push the grout into the joins
You're amazing.👍😍👍
WOW, Thank You, Iam getting ready to do some tile work, and your video has been SOOOO helpful. Thanks from Puerto Rico.
Excellent
I haven't even started to watch this yet but man I wish I would have seen this a few years ago whenever I bought my place. I used every cleaning solution I could find, a toothbrush, a wire brush and every other thing I could think of. It's been 8 years and my floors look 90% better but I have recently decided that I am going to paint/stain the grout gray to match my marbled tile a little better. I already tried a swatch and it looks great
I hope you will visit my channel
paint wont stay its like painting sand
Liquid Comet w/bleach. Cover the grout with the Comet, let set for an hour then wash away and seal the grout. Looks like new!
@@AwosAtis interesting
@@AwosAtis actually, just get some regular gel type toilet cleaner with bleach. Squirter it all along the grout lines and let it sit for about 15 minutes. Scrub it off with a brush, you're good.
Otimo video.
Que aparelho é esse que tirou o rejunte?
Deve ser uma esmerilhadeira angular pequena
Es una osciladora multipropósito o multiherramienta.
Τι ωραία δουλειά μπράβο!!
A DICA é ótima ! 👍Porém, eu vou trocar para rejunte na cor cinza.

Que legal é mais rápido né obrigado por nos enssinar
Can you tell us what specific tools you used for this project and perhaps provide links if you have them? I'm particularly interested in the tool bit you used in the first step to remove the old mortar
It's a multi tool ,if you are doing lots of this work ,buy a quality one ,from either AEG,Milwaukee, makita,Dewalt or the like.
Cheap ones will not stand up to this kind of work.
The best ones are brushless

The blades are available at tile and larger hardware suppliers, also Harbor Freight tool supply. Oscillating grout blade.
Bravo!👍
Иностранцы, есть такое вещество, как жидкое стекло , заделали трещины и после полного высыхания наносите жидкое стекло маленькой акварельной кисточкой , жидкое стекло засыхает и больше не грязнится шов .
Nice job. White grout on a floor is a bold statement
What blade grinder did you use?
Quando pusemos piso em.casa o rejunte usei a mesma técnica. Super fácil, rápido e limpo

Por favor que tipo de disco eu compro pra fazer a remoção do rejunte? Obrigado
Wow amazing beautiful idea 👌✌️ thanks my friend 👍👍👍👍
Lol ok.. Don't do this. Grout needs to be worked into the joints by hand. This will prevent voids from forming in the grout lines. It also allows you to see where the grout has filled the joint entirely and where it has not. Work in small areas and batches.. avoid black grout as it is a bitch to clean up. However, if it's a high traffic area black is particle.
I thought he is using white cement.
Agreed. Grout has to be worked in deep, not simply floated over.
Plus it's obviously mixed with way too much water. No grout I've ever used in 20 years of tiling is supposed to flow like that.
@@HowsItHappening I agree, that grout is gonna be weak and brittle and effervescence would be a big issue on any color but bright white.
Would this work for epoxy or other synthetic grout?
This is clearly BS with regard to cement grout
Parece boa técnica
His videos are ALL Genius!!!
Maybe, If you're a fucking idiot.
Love the sponge with the handle. I'll add that to my tool bag.

If you have installed tile for 30 years and never seen this then you need a profession. This is something you would learn the first couple weeks.
Be Kind. Your comments were unnecessary.
I agree but man u did an edit and still said... "you need a profession" lol new profession? U mean hahah
Your the type of old dogs that can't be taught new tricks
I live in 3rd world country and all people here apply "fragüe" with a "llana" (I dont even know how those words are sain english)
@@Mipetz38 agree on this, In our countries that’s how it does and those tiles remain in good shape for decades
è semplicemente perfetto
I work for a Leeds firm in the Uk who do allsorts like this. Our lads have been grouting big areas exactly like that for years. Not sure about using plain white though, good luck keeping that clean longer than 5 minutes 🤭
It’s all about the epoxy grout my friend

L'I. How
@@jflandreezy4357 tbh I’m not sure they even use epoxy most of the time
No Brasil são tão pertos que nem parece o rejunte, trabalho bem feito . Mas tem casas que não .
شو الجديد بالموضوع.. في العراق نستعمل هذه الطريقه من عشرات السنين واصلا هذا العمل الصحيح.... تحياتي ليك.. رائع
EXCELENTE.
If you don’t have a multitool ‘Oscillating multitool’ you’ll love it for all kinds of different projects.
Aqui no Brasil, já existe essa técnica a mais de 30 anos...por tanto não é novidade!
Я считаю что он плохо и неправильно наносит затирку. Её нужно втииать внутрь,что б не было воздуха.
И вообще лучше швы зачистить шуруповёртом с щеткой и средством для мытья посуды
Thank good your 👍💯❤️💕👏🤝
the easiest way to remove grout is with a cordless grinder with a thin metal cutting blade ! It is a very dusty process so is not suitable for every type of job .
The grout shown in this example is far too wet . Being a cement product grout needs to mixed with the minimum of water and should be tooled into the joints . A washboard is the best way to wash off excess grout . The 45^ wipe is the most even way to wash off .
5" skill with diamond blade and table guide ... 1 x 3 by 6 foot stood on by guy w vac and pumpable squirt bottle ... these guys are union though
Thank you for sharing.my floor tiles are 20 years now.Even I mop everyday w/ floor solution, Still look dirty in between tiles.
Floor cleaning solution is usually the cause of grout turning dark
Yup..good job..I do same
Kkkkkkkkkkkk também coitado no final do dia haja coluna mais a dica e top amei 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
You're going go be doing that all the time with that light of a grout. Interesting application.
You use a sealer or better yet, use a grout that incorporates a sealer.
in high traffic areas, why not use epoxy grout? it never gets dirty
Question, if you seal the grout every year or so with a sealer, wont that keep it from getting discolored? In conjunction with regular floor cleaning of course
I've seen this technique and done it, now days though I use a 4" diamond blade on a cordless angle grinder...much quicker than the oscillating tool and you can use the same blade for many grout removal jobs. I would not recommend the grinder unless you have a steady hand and eye protection and a dust mask/vacuum is a must.
Just paint the floor and wipe the excess off the tiles. No need to grind the grout lines at all. 15 minutes total job. Easy! This is dumb!
@@opentrunkwho would want their tile painted?
@@josephsperzel1492 Only a very thin film of paint remains on the tiles while the grout is fully covered. I'll grant you that the time-consuming labor-intensive method of grinding all the grout lines is probably going to result in a somewhat better product, but it's not worth the aggravation or cost. Note that my method works best with non-glossy tiles, like stone or rough ceramic, where the paint will not rub off easily over time. We just did a whole apartment, start to finish, in about 2 hours. People who see it have no idea it was painted, they think we cleaned it.
Do they cone in different sizes. My bathroom is small.
Very worked.
Much easier and cleaner way is to use a piping bag along the joints filling as you go along. After a while, simply use a wide putty filler/knife to clean the now filled joints. Then simply use a clean damp cloth to finish. The way the guy in the video did it is labour intensive and uses so many different tools when all you need really are two.
You’re clearly not in the flooring industry lol
Yeah try a piping bag on a 2000sf floor
Yeah I did that piping bag on my other house and let me tell you it sucked! My hands hurt so bad!
This house I just put so much down and then used a float and then I used sponges and a mop. Much easier and faster and it looked just as great as my other house
What’s wrong with just using a regular rubber grout float, so you get to push the grout in and have full consistent joints?
Also I would suggest using a regular 3 gallon bucket 🪣 and a margin trowel to mix with and just a regular grout sponge.
This method your using takes way to long
Make a video and be a creator instead of a complainer
@@Nora-tx9pd Quiet you peasant!
@@Nora-tx9pd I don't see where he is complaining. He is asking a question and then stating how he would do it. If you don't like his comment shove your head up your backside. good day
I agree Sergio, if your going to spend the time to grind and vacuum old grout. Then use the right tool, don’t waist your time, job is not going to look as good.
Well said Bill
No ładnie ładnie...👍 Ale co w tym niesamowitego czy nowego to nie wiem... Szkoda że nie pokazał też jak sobie radzi z płatkami w połysku i z 1mm fugą 😜

Boa Noite! Que ferramenta é essa que você usou para retirar o rejunte?
Makes sense! Wow
Das Video ist sehr hilfreich, das einzige was man nicht nochmals machen sollte und zwar auf dem Boden ein so hellen Farbton auswählen. Beim Laufen und wischen schmiert man den Schmutz wieder in die Fugen,somit entstehen wieder Schattierungen in den Fugen.Man nimmt für den Boden eine dunkle Fuge ,z.B. Zementgrau
E’ arrivato il Genio della lampada! 👨🏼🍳

Onde compra essa maquininha de rejunte
Ola amigo, Como chama essa maquina de tirar rejunte?
A ja robię od 20 lat i nie widziałem profeski ! No i oczywiście takich narzędzi 🥴
Türkiyede böyle yapıyorlar.
what tool did he use to remove the grout?
Only thing new is the squeegee.
As long as you start cleaning the new grout in around 10-15 minutes to get the biggest mass off you have the main part beat. You can clean at your leisure after that.
