I don't use the traditional grouting method, which involves smothering the grout all over the floor tile. I always thought that method didn't make too much sense. Why smother the grout on the entire floor when only about 10% or less is needed?
Instead I use a grouting bag (mason bag) to grout my floor tiles. I do this for 3 main reasons:
1. It's faster to apply IMO,
2. Cleaning is much easier and faster,
3. I ensure that my grout is going into the seems/grooves
An added bonus is you end up using much less material. For this project I grouted 2 bathrooms that were 5'x8' and I used 1/2 bag of 25 lbs Maipai grout. The bag is about $15, so I spent less than $8 in material.
With this method I spent roughly 30 minutes per bathroom, which included:
- Grouting,
- Pointing,
- Cleaning
I do want to say that I would probably not use a grout bag on smaller tile like, Subway or Backsplash tile. For those jobs, I apply the grout all throughout.
Through my experience I have learned to become more efficient with my work. I found that taking the time to think about a better way to do the job is time well spent.
