I have been using a section of plastic rod about 8mm diameter (old coathanger) which seems to be doing the job Ok and and leaving the grout about 20 minutes before finishing. It's multi-functional, so it's a clever add-on to your toolkit – a scraper on one end helps you remove excess grout caused by using a float over large areas. At Bradfords, we have over 250 years of industry experience, providing high quality Landscaping, Kitchens and Bathrooms, Plumbing and Heating, Tools and Workwear, Tool hire, Timber and general building materials to skilled builders, DIY and home owners within our communities.

What the tooling stick does is ensures the grout is pushed fully into the joint and gives a uniform finish to the tile edge. My only concern was that I might pull too much grout out with the rod before finally sponging off rather than just finishing the grout lines and sponging at the same time just using a sponge. Modern grouts are more reason to rake the joint - they require less water on the surface to clean away any excess thus keeping the consistency of the grout equal.They have everything you could want in the DIY and home improvement line including knowledgeable advice.

I am tiling a utility room and kitchen splashback, about 6m2 and using Mapei Ultracolour Plus; 2 mm spacers with 250 by 400 tiles.

The 'tooling' stick itself is important, and for years before washing off, I used a drumming stick with rounded end prior to polishing with a white 't' shirt! A grout float or spreader help to evenly spread the grout around the wall or floor, to ensure a strong adhesion for the tiles, while a grout removal tool such as a rake will scrape away any old grout between existing tiles.
