Professional tile installation doesn’t end with placing the last tile – the final touch lies in achieving a clean, uniform grout line. High-quality tile sponges and grouting floats from KARL DAHM ensure a flawless result and make your cleaning process more efficient. Our range focuses on quality, ergonomics, and durability.
Tile sponges are essential tools used to remove grout haze and coarse residue from tile surfaces after grouting. For best performance, opt for our Hydro tile sponges, available with either a grooved (raster) or smooth surface. The grooved structure significantly improves absorption and cleaning efficiency.

The hand scraper with a grit edge is perfect for baseboards or scraping off stubborn residues. The tile eraser (Item No. 11255) is gentle on delicate surfaces and effective on dried grout or adhesive – activate with a little water.
