Ceramic tile is attractive, durable, low maintenance and easy to install, making it a popular choice for bathrooms, kitchens and floors in any room. When installing ceramic tile, epoxy grout is often used to join, support and fill the spaces between the tiles. Epoxy grout is waterproof and resistant to stains and mildew. However, its impermeable features make it difficult to remove, especially once it has dried. While it is difficult, it is not impossible.

There are some settings — notably those exposed to acids and greases — in which even an additive-enhanced, sealed grout falls short. Such harsh conditions call for epoxy grout. Made up of two parts, resin and hardener, epoxy grout comes in both sanded and unsanded varieties and is impervious to most chemicals and stains. Early epoxies were unforgiving and difficult to apply, and had just a 45-minute pot life. This made them fast to cure but slow to be embraced by many tile setters, and anathema to beginners. The new generation of epoxies contain detergents in the hardeners, which make for quick cleanup with water and improve workability. Because epoxy can discolor porous surfaces, such as unglazed quarry tiles or limestone, these should be sealed before grouting. But its stain resistance, hardness, and durability make epoxy grout the best choice for applications such as kitchen counters, backsplashes, floors, and other heavy-traffic areas. Epoxy grout is expensive compared with cement-based grout, almost 4 to 6 times the price, but there is an upside to the cost differential: Powdered Portland cement grouts have a shelf life of only one year, while two-part liquid epoxies, if they are not subjected to freezing temperatures, will last forever in their sealed containers.

How to Clean Up Dried Epoxy Grout

Epoxy grout is stronger than regular tile grout, and is more difficult to remove once dried. Epoxy grout cures quickly, and requires a chemical stripper to clean it once it is dry. After you complete the grouting process, you may be left with an epoxy haze or film over the tile surface.

Epoxy Grout Haze

Epoxy grout haze is the byproduct of improper cleaning and is not a product defect. Epoxy haze is caused by the initial cleaning water being left on the surface of the tile too long. Epoxy resins suspended in the cleaning water are transferred onto the tile surface during the cleaning; the water evaporates and the epoxy resins remain behind. IT IS NECESSARY TO DO A SECOND WASH!

The best way to alleviate the residue in the first place is to ensure that a final wash is done within the time frame stated in the instructions

To ensure good results and compatibility with the tile or stone, always verify results with a small test area.

The best way to avoid grout haze is to do a thorough cleaning and inspection on the day of the installation.
