Removing mortar from tile can be a challenging task, but with the right approach, it becomes quick and easy. Here’s how to do it efficiently:
- Gather Your Tools: You’ll need a plastic scraper, sponge, bucket, mild detergent, rubber gloves, and a scrub brush.
- Soften the Mortar: Fill the bucket with warm water and add a few drops of mild detergent. Soak the sponge in this solution and apply it to the mortar to soften it.
- Scrape Gently: Use the plastic scraper to gently remove the softened mortar. Be careful not to damage the tile surface.
- Scrub Residue: Dip the scrub brush in soapy water and scrub any remaining mortar residue off the tiles.
- Rinse and Dry: Wipe the tiles with a clean, damp sponge to remove soap and mortar remnants, then dry with a soft cloth.
