Remove excess adhesive from joints, taking care to leave two thirds of joint depth free for grouting. Clean joint spaces to remove water, dust, dirt, debris or any other matters which may affect grout performance and consistency. Clean tile surface to remove any dust, dirt or contaminants that may affect grout integrity and color. |
| RESTRICTION |
