<ul>
<li>MOST TILE & STONE: Use Aqua Mix® Cement Grout Haze Remover or Aqua Mix® Phosphoric Acid Substitute.</li>
<li>ACID-SENSITIVE STONE OR SINGLE COMPONENT GROUT JOINTS: Use Aqua Mix® Heavy­Duty Tile & Grout Cleaner, Aqua Mix® Grout Deep Clean or Aqua Mix® Stone Deep Clean.</li>

If more than 1 bottle of a single color is to be used, mix the material together in a large container to ensure uniformity of color. Spread evenly using the Applicator Brush or toothbrush, working Grout Colorant into joint using a back-and-forth motion. Thin, even coats should be applied, limiting the amount of Grout Colorant that gets on the tile. If going from a dark to light grout color, more than 1 application may be necessary with a minimum 2-hours drying time between coats. After Grout Colorant has dried 1 or more hours (never more than 12 hours), lightly mist surface with water and let stand 5 minutes. Remove excess Grout Colorant from surface of tile using water and a white nylon scrub pad.<br>
