How do you apply bathroom grout correctly without it constantly being dragged out?
"Grout is the stuff you apply between tiles to seal them in place. Grout tiles once the adhesive has dried fully (24 to 36 hours later). The best grout is waterproof and mould-resistant; some come ready-mixed. Use a grout float - a rubber-faced tool with foam backing - for large areas. Spread the grout across the tiles at right angles to the joins. Use a damp sponge to remove excess. Once the grout is dry, polish the surface with a dry cotton rag." I was taught by a contractor to apply and clean the grout diagonally.

Working With Grout During Tile Projects?
One of the most important components of any tiling project is grout, a soft adhesive material that is used to fill in the seal joint spaces in tiles. When applying grout in between the tiles, the right type of trowel is needed to create the patterns that will match the back and side surfaces of the tiles. After the grout dries up, it is important to immediately sand the tiles and apply sealants. The sanding process can be done with standard sanding paper. Additionally, a soft moist sponge should be used to wash any excess grout from the top surface of the tiles. The sealant will help prevent dirt from accumulating in between the tiles.
