How To Tile OVER Linoleum Floors! CORRECTLY 😲

What happens here

After applying grout, allow it to dry for approximately 15 to 30 minutes, or until it forms a haze on the tile surface. Then, using a damp sponge and a clean bucket of water, begin wiping off the excess grout from the tile faces. Rinse the sponge frequently to avoid spreading grout haze. Continue wiping and rinsing until the tile surfaces are clean and the grout lines are smooth and consistent. This meticulous cleaning prevents a dull, hazy finish on your new tile.

Goal: Remove grout haze and excess from tile surfaces.
