Do you need to grout this tile? It looks like it doesn't need it, but I want to make sure. Thx!

This type of mosaic tile needs grouting with a grout that is "non" sanded . If you use sanded grout you'll scratch the stainless steal and glass when you smooth out the grout. I did not end up using this sample, I used a different color with stone and glass in it instead of stainless steal and stone.

I'm pretty sure you don't but when I get home tonight Ill try to remember to check and get back to you.

We have not actually used it yet, we only purchased 1 sheet as a sample, but yes, it has the typical spacing between the tiles like normal so it would need to be grouted.

Of course, it's like a paint, before using try cleaning your grout with a Mr. Clean magic eraser. It will work wonders, you may not need to use the Grout Refresh.

The tiles seem well grouted to me. I've had the table for over 1 year, no issues with crumbling grout. Easy to clean too. I assume standard grout is used, but I'm not sure.

yes. I used nothing but the steam. If it's a tough job, steam on highest pressure makes it easier; when it starts to weaken a bit, let it 'recharge' and it will continue to work well. In 2 or 3 places, I had to go over the grout 2 or 3 times but I had moved into a house where the people never cleaned it, and it was over 10 years old.

We never used it for just grout. We have a ceramic tile floor in our kitchen and bathroom. It is the only steam cleaner that works for us. It is a heavy duty cleaner and does a great job. All I can say is the tile and grout are clean when we're done.

there is no need to use it on ceramic or porcelain tile as they are both made of non absorbent material (they've been sealed by being fired). You only need to use it on the grout.

If the old grout is crumbly and loose, I would remove it. I did use this product over areas where the grout had receded and was uneven; it has held up well in those areas. Don't try to smooth it with your fingers, use something like an old credit card, hard plastic.

it is absolutely useless on tile. it was designed for a flat service like hardwood. it might do o.k. witha marble floor that is usually installed with very little grout.

Our tile is a rough finish and it works fine so far.. I would be moe concerned if the tiles were very small kind with lots of grout seams..

it is supposed to be even with the tile, although depends on the tiles you use. It has to be supported all the way around with 2x4 studs(or the best you can do), and I put one sideways in between the top section and bottom section. If you don't support it well, it will move and your tiles and or grout will crack. It is a pain in the butt but well worth the effort.

It will definitely clean the tile. I use hot water and a spin mop and change the water a lot. Have fifteen hundred feet of tile so it takes a while. Do this once a month. Grout is harder. I used special brushes and this as a concentrate. Then used five layers of grout sealer. A real pain but better than the three thousand dollars a contractor wanted to do the job. It has been a couple of years and the grout, almond color, looks fantastic and the tile is clean.

I had all white tiles and grey grout. It always looked dirty. I used the white grout refresh, and the small bath looked huge and clean. It helped sell my house fast.

I think it would look beautiful with your stainless if you use black grout. Have you bought the tile or are you basing your conclusions on what the pic looks like? Buy one tile and then decide.

I have no idea if it gets grout out of tile , I purchased this as a Christmas gift , it hasnt been opened yet

I would say no as it hasn't made my group any lighter in shade. Also grout is a hair lower than tile itself and its just a pad on the unit. With that said I do love how easy it is to use and how clean my floor is.

There is on reason why you would need to keep ZEP off the tile. You spread it on the entire floor (I used a sponge mop)and let it sit for a while. Then use a grout brush to scrub the grout lines, and mop up the floor. I had to repeat this process several times.
