Getting grout off ceramic tiles clean

[m4rky]

Then get him back he hasnt finished yet...........

This is what we intend to do. He did clean the tiles when he finished but when they are wet they look great! Its when they dry they get the haze.
He has said he'll come back on Thurs/Fri this week and use a mild brick acid on them.

But I thought I would give it a go myself:
A) because I wanted it done quicker than Turs/Fri.
and B) Wanted to use something milder than acid first.

topps do resideu remover which is a grout film remover and also do grout clean up pads which is an abrasive pad with 4 different roughness of pads

Yep bought these. I got FILA Grout Residue Remover (Neutral), not the acid based one. I also got the pad set.

I spent hours over the weekend scrubbing the walls and a fair bit has come off but there is still a haze over most of the tiles.
The two non-abrasive pads have now completely disintegrated.
So I have given up.

Thanks for all your advice.

Right, I am busy Wednesday to Friday this week and off on holiday next week until 29th July. If your tiler doesn't get it sorted and you are still unhappy. I would be prepared come up and do it for you as long as you cover my fuel and expenses if that is any good to you.

Tiler should have finished the job IMO, Get him back to complete what he started
