"Well now the piece has been drying for about ten minutes and it's time for the fun to start because this is when the grout comes off and it revels the design, it has the finished grout in between and it’s always a kind of a surprise to see it, it’s always really fun. Make sure you mention, this is a dry cloth by the way, this is not a wet cloth, this is a dry cloth and the other thing that I use when I do this is I will use a little brush to brush away the pieces and again I’m working on plastic so that I don’t get things all over the place, it stays pretty much contained. And you can see how easy this is, just to wipe off the pieces, notice that I’ve left a little window here, I call them windows and I like leaving some open space because it allows you to kind of see through the piece and again we are just reveling what is underneath here. I love these colors, they are so pretty, okay so we are clearing out all grout and sometimes, a lot of time I will come in after the fact and once everything is removed and it’s dry I can still get things off using alcohol, but the other part of this that you want to be aware of is that if the grout gets too dry then it’s really, it can be difficult to get off so it’s important to get in there before it hardens too much, it makes it too difficult if it gets too dry.
