We just left it alone and over time it wore down a bit. It’s still not perfect so we might do something in the future and share our results :)

Did you find a solution to the variation in the haze on the grout lines? I was unable to find an update about it. Thanks!

Absolutely gorgeous! Guess I missed the post about removing the screens. I love the open, covered outdoor space. What a great entertaining space and that tile makes is look so elegant yet inviting! Sounds like a beast of a job, but the end results sure look worth it!

Thanks Sacha! We have both been schooled on that a few times but the wrong term slips out sometimes. Will try harder!

DUDE. You gotta stop calling it a cement patio. It’s a concrete patio. (Or was.) I grew up saying cement instead of concrete, and so did everyone around me, but it drives my engineer husband CRAZY. “Cement is a component of concrete. You don’t call bread ‘flour’, right?” Now I notice it all the time and catch myself (before) saying it, too. Since you run a highly respected DIY site you should probably use the right technical terminology.

Just lookin’ out — nothing but love for y’all. Really.

In reply to Katie. Great question!! I thought I was the only one who may have had a meltdown when the old app disappeared. Best Craigslister luck to everyone!

Come spring and summer you won’t think twice about the 69 hours. It looks marvelous!

In reply to Irene.

We asked the tile guys that but they said trying to clean as you go is usually best (the longer thinset sets, for example, the harder it is to get off, especially if it gets grout over it later in the process).
