So I have finished grouting the tile. It went pretty well. The cleanup was even pretty uneventfull. The tile is a light porcelin with gray grout. when removing the haze from tile the haze would be tuen to powder. The dries grout. some of this would end up in the gout lines giving the perception that the grout is now white. It is ok to clean this up with just water or vinegar prior to sealing. The vacuum does not get it all. The grout also has not been sealed yet and do not want to seal any of this dried grout into the grout lines.

For future reference is there any way to minimize or eliminate this problem?

Thoughts appreciated.

You may want to try picking the powder up with a damp sponge. The moisture from the sponge should "grab" the powder. Just keep rinsing the sponge to keep it clean. Others may have a trick o' the trade which would work better.
