QuestionHow long do you wait to wipe off grout off of tile?Art Fricke is a home renovation and repair specialist and the owner of Art Tile & Renovation based in Austin, Texas. With over 10 years of experience, he specializes in bathroom and kitchen renovations. Art focuses on a single contractor approach to customized renovation work, and performs projects such as installing custom tile showers, fixing tiled shower leaks, replacing cracked tiles, and installing floor and wall tile.That depends on the tile and the type of grout you're using. If you're tiling glossy porcelain or ceramic tile, it's easier to clean off grout, even after it dries. However, if you're working with a porous or rough tile, it's almost impossible to clean if the grout dries at all. Unsanded grout is the most forgiving to work with, followed by sanded grout, while grouts that have sealer or other special additives tend to have the shortest working times.
