getting sealer off glass/meatl tiles

[Aquera]

About 5 years ago, the second thing I ever tiled was my own glass tile back splash - me being a DIY'er at the time, I liberally applied sealer to the grout and tile, thinking it would all wipe off easily. This didn't happen, the sealer sticks on like glue - I did get most of it off, but it was very labor intensive. Does anyone have some suggestions for how to remove it easily? Nothing I can think of works...

Thanks

What kind of sealer was used?? :)

[Aquera]

I can't remember the brand, but it was grout sealer (not grout and tile) and it came in a small green container shaped like a jug with a handle.. (if that helps)

Do you know where it was purchased?

You might have some luck with baking soda. Depending on the brand of sealer. I don't think the baking soda will do any damage to normal glass tile, but test yours to be sure (if you have an un-used piece try it there). Just make it into a paste with water and give it a scrub with a medium or soft nylon brush. If the brush doesn't seem to work, use a sponge or a non abrasive pad.
