Travertine tiles

[oph]

Hi tiling experts,

Plumber i may be , but tiler, not really to be honest but this is MY OWN house and I was hardly going to get someone in was I

Ok, I have fully tiled my bathroom with Tile Clearence houses special offer 'Travertine Honed Filled straight edge' tiles. I understand I need to clean, seal and grout them.. I have a container of 'FILA Grout Residue remover', a container ( in a metal container this one) of 'FILA Colour Intensifier' and finally a bottle of FILA ' Honed/Tumbled Travertine & Marble protector.
My question is........in which order and when does the grouting come into it too.

Thanks Lads

hi oph what i do is, tile first then clean with warm water till i am happy there is no adhesive residue, once it is dry give it a good clean down with a dry clothuntil your happy its clean, put on your enhancer, leave to completley dry, then add your seal 2 coats if you want, then grout and wash as you go , once it is dry give a good wash with hat water, i also use sugar soap to get a good clean, repeat with dry clot till your happy and finally repeat the sealing again, it will look the dogs !!! ps if you haven't started tiling yet make sure you use 2mm long legged spacers, anything bigger will look crap, thats my peronal view ..lol hope this helps you
