Thinset is the type of mortar used to install tiles.When there are a lot of thin sleeves present, such as when the substrate is not flat and the thin sleeve is used for compensation, this excess thin sleeve will usually splash or apply on the surface of adjacent tiles.The mortar is easily glued to the front of the tile, so the recliner often wipes the mortar roughly.If the questioner is dealt with in a timely manner, it is not difficult to remove the rest of the smog.On the same day you set the tile, remove the mortar from the grouting line between each tile.At this point the mortar is still fresh and can be easily removed by dragging a narrow planeA screwdriver along the grouting line.The purpose is to ensure that the grouting line opens at least 50% of the thickness of the tile.Remove the gasket to clean the grouting line and take advantage of this opportunity to wipe and clean the excess thin on the tile.Usually, if the mortar is high on the grouting line, it is also on the tiles on both sides.From the rush of installation, the spacers are often covered with mortar.If the mortar is still soft, clean the gasket and replace it.Clean the surface of the tile using a small sponge with a green washer.In most cases, the moisture of the sponge is sufficient to loosen the hardened mortar.Wipe at the center of the tile so you don\'t pick up the extra mortar that goes through the grout line.Rinse the sponge regularly and clean the same tile until more mortar is not visible.Use the sponge edge to wipe along the edge of the tile to clean the mortar on the edge of the tile.This can be particularly tricky if the tiles are roughEdge or porous.Clean all visible mortar in the tile surface and grouting line.Check each tile.If you leave mortar on the surface of the tile, it will be difficult to remove it later.Use a green washer where the moisture is not enough to move the mortar.Use the grouting haze cleaner to clean the long-lasting mortar haze after the tile is completed.This is usually a mixture of amino or phosphate.Follow the label instructions for the specific product you purchased.
