Excess grout during installation of glazed tiles should be removed with a wet clean towel or sponge. Although no standard applies to edge impact, the best advice we can give remains to pay careful attention to detail when grouting to ensure that all edges are afforded maximum protection. Do not acid wash glazed tiles. All foods and other substances containing acid may affect the color of a tile. Always clean spills as soon as possible.
