First scrape off any built up or lumps off the tile with a plastic scraper or small pc of wood... Next dry "dust " off the tile with a old terri cloth towel or use a white nylon pad, the kind you do dishes with.. If this fails to get off excess , then go to your wet method with a strong vinegar and water solution.. If this doesn t work , then I d go to a grout and iridescent remover you can purchase any where tile is sold... The use of muratic acid by a home owner or in the house I d never recommend.. You can ruin tile or surrounding stuff if you get it all over stuff.. Any other questions you can e mail me through my avatar and check my qualifications there..

You could try soaking in warm water, and using steel wool to get the grout down. Be sure to rinse well or get rust stain from steel wool. There's a Commercial "grout" remover - but I've only used it for bath & tile plastic grout, it really makes that stuff soft. But for your grout, its scraping time. That's whats so great about grout!

If not that then rubber gloves and Muratec acid. Use a sponge with a green pad. try vinegar and water first. If not that then rubber gloves and Muratec acid. Use a sponge with a green pad.

They make ones that look like a small scrapper with a handle on one side and a razor blade on the other. Use at an angle and the grout should come off the tile really easily. Dampen surface first.
