I have recently put up some mosaic tiles in my kitchen and have grouted them. However when i have come to clean them, i cant get the grout out of the small indents in the tile. The tiles are about a inch square, they are also black and the grout is white,so it really shows up. I have tried a kitchen brush with warm water and a dry cloth but with no luck. I dont know what else to use, as i dont want to damage or take the shine off my tiles. Any ideas ?

i am actually assuming you are using ceramic tiles, if not, you need to get yourself some sealer as well as the cement away, if they are natural there is also no full guarantee youll ever get them clean again, the product for sealing thats best on natural i find is again by lithofin called stain stop

You would usually fill these holes with grout anyway - if you chose a colour of grout that complements the tiles it's not a problem.
Totally agree
Thanks for your replies I suppose now putting white grout with black tiles wasnt such a good idea now but thats how they were displayed in B&Q and they looked ok. The tiles are metallic matt, glass mosaic with some deep small holes and are unsure wheather they are ceramic tiles So would i still need lithofin cement or would a grout removal with a toothbrush do it ?
