To grout internal corners, it's a good idea to lay the tiles
on eah side of the corner in pairs. This makes it easy to
obtain a uniform horizontal joint. Using sealant along
the corner will protect it from water, and accomodate for
movement between the tiles.
Bathrooms and kitchens are usually damp, and conducive
environments for mould to grow. The mould manifests as
dark stains that are virtually impossible to remove. To
avoid this problem, it is advisable to apply a fungicidial
based solution before tiles are grouted.
Don't let grout harden before cleaning the grouted
tiles. If the grout does start to harden, a scouring pad
will often do the trick, as long as the grout has not been left
to harden for too long. Also mix a small quantity of
grout at a time, to prevent premature hardening.
