# How to Grout Tiles?

Generally grouting is done to protect the bathroom and kitchen tiles from all kinds of dirt, damages caused, moisture and wearing of the tiles. Did you know that grouting is the last and the simplest step of bathroom or kitchen tiling, even when compared to placing the tiles.

1. **Putting together the Grout**

As most of the grouts are powdered it's better to have a bucket with little water handy. Next you can pour the grout powder into it and stir it well using a stick. Make sure to stir and add the grout powder simultaneously to prevent it from lumping. Stir it into a consistency of a whipped cream.


2. **Applying the Grout**

Get a grout spreader or a squeegee to apply the grout on to the tile. Make sure to take a dollop of grout mixture and squeeze it in the gaps. Spread it across a 45 angle degree to get an even grouted wall or floor.

3. **Filling the Gaps with Grout**

The curing of the grout is done once it is filled and spread, so ensure to fill all the found gaps on the flooring or walls as well with grout while it is still moldable using tools and has not hardened. Another important thing to remember here is to read the instructions and cautions on the packaging of the powdered grout, as the drying time would have been specified on the packaging. Then clean of the unwanted grout to give a smooth and clean finishing of the tiles.
