Removing hardened grout from tile

[naztile]

I recently installed some glass mosaic tiles in my shower and then used white unsanded grout with Grout Boost. The problem now is that there is grout on the tiles as well as over the grout line in random areas. Some tiles are worse than others.

Should I just use steel wool with scraper to clean up or should I use some kind of cleaner/acid to remove the build up on the mosaic.

Any advice/tips would be fantastic.

thanks!!

I would use a grout haze remover or vinegar and water and a scrub pad, but not a green one.

Hi Naz, Welcome! :)

What brand glass tile did you use? Is it the iridescent type? Can you post some pictures?

Hello,

Grout gets harder and harder with substance in time. Respond to this quickly. Do not attempt to use steel wool to remove the grout because it can permanently damaged your tiles because of the scar it may cause from scrubbing. Instead, you can use a nylon or synthetic fiber scouring pads found at almost all grocery stores. Scrub the tiles with the tile grout sponges with vast quantities of fresh clean water and also remove the excess grout from the tile.
Be sure that after you have scrub and thoroughly cleaned the tile, dry it with rags to prevent moisture.
