Grout Release 1 Quart

Grout release is the pre-grout coating that stops grout from bonding to the tile face. Wipe or brush it onto porous, textured, or unglazed tile before grouting, and the leftover haze lifts off clean instead of staining, the trick pros use on slate, quarry tile, and rough stone.

This quart handles smaller jobs like backsplashes, accent walls, and single-room floors. Apply a thin, even coat to dry tile, let it set, then grout as normal and spend less time scrubbing haze off the surface afterward.

Skip this step on rough tile and you will pay for it with a scrub brush. Tile Outlets stocks grout release in the quart size for exactly this kind of job.
