Mixing & Installing Floor Grout - LIVE Stream 12-06-2021 Ask the Builder

Hi, hi, I'm Tim Carter. You're watching Ask the Builder. And of course, for streaming live

Boy, that's pretty bright behind me. That is really bright. I spread out the Christmas lights

and it's really going on back there. I mean, holy moly. So anyway, thanks for joining today

it's going to be a pretty interesting live stream because we're going to talk about grout, floor grout

and you would think that it can't be that tough to do

It is and it isn't. So we're going to talk about that in just a few moments

But before we jump into the floor ground, Stain Solver, they're sponsoring today's live stream

What a great company, right? I mean, they believe in me. Stain solver is a certified organic oxygen bleach

It's got two ingredients. Both are made in America. My wife and I own the company

It a powder that you mix with water and you know warmer hot water is best And you end up with this magic cleaning solution that is non

There's no odor. It's fabric safe. It's color safe. So like this burgundy, you know, corduroy shirt, if I got a really bad pasta stain on it or a grease stain, you could soak the whole shirt

Grease stain comes out. Doesn't hurt the color. Doesn't hurt the fabric

I mean, it's amazing. One of the really, really great things it cleans is floor tile grout

All right. So that's kind of fitting because we're going to be talking about grout in just a few moments

But I want to share this really funny story. This is how powerful stain solver is

This is probably 10 years ago. And a lot of people buy stainlessolver to clean their decks

All right. So I get that. I mean, that's how I found out about it back 26, 27 years ago

This woman buys stain solvers. She mixes it up. She decides to go out and clean her deck

She got one of those sliding doors by her you know by I guess dining room kitchen area whatever Sliding glass doors So she goes out and starts cleaning the deck She sloshing the stingsolver all around

She's working in her stocking feet. I mean, she's got socks on

Why she didn't have shoes on, I don't know. It's none of my business. I really don't care. So I guess she had to take a nature break, you know

And she's her socks. Understand this. Her socks are soaking with stain solver solution

She opens the door, walks in, I guess to go to the restroom

walks across the towel floor, and she, then she goes back outside to continue working

And later on, she comes inside and there are these really light spots where her footprints were

on the tile. So she calls me up the next day, and she's raving mad

I mean, like, you know that saying, hell hath no fury like that of a scorned woman

Well, you would think I scorned her. So you know she claiming she going to sue me that the whole floor has got to be ripped out Stainzover ruined her tile floor And I had to break I had to break hi Louise I had to break the news to her

And this is, this is not an easy thing to do in that situation, is that, hey, ma'am, I got bad news for you

Your tile floor and the ground and the floor is filthy, dirty

And what Stainzolver had done is where she had walked, it cleaned the floor

She thought that her tile floor was clean. It was filthy. I mean, she sent me photos

So I actually think that some of those products, you know, these fancy mops that have like a pad on it

I'm not going to mention them by name. I actually think that the product

this liquid that you buy from the company, I actually think it's a dirt

attractant. I mean, that's how many sunrises I've seen. But I actually believe that it leaves a residue

that allows dirt to collect more frequently, which means you have to clean the floor with their

product more frequently. But if you just get away from those machines and you use stain solver

your worries go away. So anyway, if you buy some stain solver and you want to learn
