grout on floor tiles

[numnuts]

Has anyone got any experience .......... I grouted my new bathroom tiles yesterday and as careful as I was, the grout got into the tiny pits and holes in the black tiles. It didn't show until it had dried but now the light grey grout is all over the tiles.

I have tried to wash and scrub each tile without success and have even tried a scourer.

Can anyone suggest a solution. I was thinking of using a brass brush like you use on suede shoes. I am frightened of damaging the glaze.

I spent ages rubbing mine down with wire wool, worked but also took away the skin on my fingers

Make sure the tiles aren't scratched by this action before you let rip.

Haven't tried yet. No, the tile were not those you quoted and it was light grey grout which looks very light in the middle of a dark grey tile!

Cheers
