If the grout is less than 5 to 10 days old then try using Grout Haze Clean-Up neat. If it is older then you will have to use a mild acid such as Phosphoric Acid Cleaner. DO NOT USE STRONG BRICK ACIDS as they can do irreparable damage to the grout joint itself. Unlike glazed tiles, polished marble (and honed limestone) is sensitive to acid cleaners (even mild ones like Phosphoric acid) and will almost certainly be damaged if you attempt to clean them using such products.

For small isolated areas use Grout Deep Clean. This is ideal on worktops, windowsills, walls and floors.

We believe that you should not. In order to be able to install stone tiles without a grout joint, there have to be three perfect conditions: a perfectly flat floor, a perfectly square tile and a perfect installer. Since all three, for all intents and purposes, are rarely perfect, you cannot get a floor without grout joints. However, in a perfect world; in other words, a project without a budget, you can have all three, but be prepared to spend lots of additional money. See similar questions...

Yes and no. If the tiles are in a "working" area where water or other liquid is likely to be splashed against it (e.g. Behind the sink, behind the stove) then it is recommended to grout the tiles using the caulking method described in the installation literature. If the tiles are in a purely cosmetic area ? then there is no reason to grout the tiles except for aesthetics. See similar questions...

In most cases hand painted tiles are as durable as factory made tiles and can be cleaned using general kitchen or bathroom cleaning products. However, the use of acid based cleaners (lime scale removers) and abrasives is not recommended. We find that most of our clients use washing up liquid and a sponge. See similar questions...

That will usually depend on the tile. Marble, granite and limestone tiles are usually cut from blocks and then turned into tiles on a tile saw. If produced by a good tile factory, these tiles will have a size variance that will allow for a 1/16" grout joint. Imported slate, and other stones, such as quartzite and sandstone, are usually produced with a size variation that will only allow joints from 1/8" to 3/8", depending on the stone and factory.

For practical reasons tiles need to be grouted. This doesn't detract from the over all visual impact as the panel is designed taking account of the grout joints. Hand made tiles are more irregular in shape than machine made tiles and therefore require a larger grout joint. (So a rustic hand made tile would not be suitable for a geometric design.

You clean the copper tiles using any standard copper cleaner ? the copper tiles are not coated in any way, so you are dealing with true copper. Experiment with the cleaners readily available from local department or hardware stores - most people prefer the liquid cleaners versus the paste or cream cleaners (due to the mess). Do NOT use abrasive cleaners. Do NOT use copper cleaners on the "Cognac Copper" tiles ? please see #6 below. See similar questions...
