Grout residue

[deuce22]

Hi.

Can someone please tell me what chemical or other way of removing dried on grout from tiles.

The tiles i've used are Porcelain and are not smooth, they have a grip, sandpaper like finish.

I've cleaned them 4 times, used a sandpaper drill wheel and it's taking ages to remove.

Cheers.

Sandpaper sounds a bit drastic!
Try methylated spirit, as always try a small area first, certainly works like magic on normal glazed ceramic tiles.

Thanks.

I'll give that a go. It's similar to a wire wheel that you put in a drill, but the wires are covered in a sandpaper finish.

The tiles have a really rough finish and the colour is random, so you cannot notice anything from the wheel.

I haven't tried methylated spirits yet. I thought the would be some specialist product for it.

Cheers.

, I am assuming it is relatively new grout, just use a fine scotchbride and some warm soapy water, that should remove it for you, if not, thy HG grout residue remover

Yes, it is new grout.

I cleaned the tiles in the normal way, but because of the way they have been made the grout is difficult to remove with water and a sponge.

It has now gone hard and so it is difficult to remove.

I'll give the Meths a try and if I have no joy I'll get the HG.

Cheers.
