bathroom tiling didnt go to plan !!!!
alright tilers i tiled my bathroom with 4.5mm black porcelain tiles which went fine until the grouting. i used grey bathroom grout and wiped what i could off as i went.but now i cant get the tiles to look clean i have tried brick cleaner to try and get off the excess grout but its like the grout has gone into the tiny dimples of the tile and will not come out so it looks like the streaks of grout i wiped down and thought would dust off have stayed on the tile. is there anything i can do with this coz the missus is no to happy :-)

thats the grout, it may seem hard to see but its just the white marks on tiles that just wont shift and it looks lot worse over whole wall
