The next floor you Grout, try using Ardex C2 with 101 admix, that stuff really is bad for your hands, it takes a good week to come off, dries your hands out like nothing else.
I never use gloves for grouting, they fill up with water |

ive tried using marigolds as they are longer sio less chance of getting water in them.
i also do have a sponge as i am going along but with 600x300 porcelain tiles that need back buttering as well it still gets on your hands. i do wipe it off with a sponge but whn my hands dry it is there, ground in  |

I have a friend that is an artexer and sometimes he has to pattern the artex with his fingers to acheive a medusa pattern for example. He rubs plenty of vaseline in his hands before and after and he says that works
