    I wouldnt recommend a ready mixed grout at all, no point.
    Try this for a grout removing tool
    Bosch PMF180E All Rounder, 3165140337281

    or a masonary nail knocked through a piece of wood and use it as a rake.

    Ready mixed grouts are imo a total waste of time. Be careful not to damage the edge of the tile, when removing old grout good luck.

    You can hire a Fein grout removal tool with blade for £18 , makes the job much easier than removing grout manually..
