Marshalltown 16462 Tile Grout Sponge Grouting Haze Removal

Product Description

The MARSHALLTOWN 16462 is a tile grout sponge designed for professional tile installation and finishing work. The lineup covers three distinct tasks: general-purpose wiping, grout joint cleanup, and grout haze removal. The Turtle Back style is made from cellulose and is shaped to conform to the hand during use. The Tile Grout Sponge features rounded corners that prevent digging into or marring freshly packed joints. Tile setters, flooring contractors, and masonry tradespeople use these sponges at the finishing stage of tile and grout work.

These sponges are suited for residential and light commercial tile installation where grout cleanup is required. The Tile Grout Sponge is available in large and extra-large sizes for covering more surface area per pass. The Tile Grout Scrubbing Sponge is a dual-sided tool: one side wipes excess grout from joints while the opposite scrubbing side removes grout haze and stubborn mortar residue. All grout sponge styles in this line are built with rounded corners to protect joint integrity during cleanup.

Installation Notes

Tile setters and flooring contractors should use these sponges after grout has been pressed into joints and allowed to begin setting per the grout manufacturer instructions. Wring the sponge thoroughly before each pass to avoid over-wetting joints and diluting grout. For grout haze removal, allow the surface to reach the stage recommended by the grout manufacturer before scrubbing. Rinse the sponge frequently in clean water to prevent redepositing grout residue on the tile surface.
