- how do i clean grout off tile?
Srub and wipe off NOW. The longer the hard it is to get off.
A scrubbing or white scotch brite will help.
Some white vinegar will help. But don't just pour it on, but limit to the problem areas.
If that does not work then look at the bag. They will recommned ground removal chemicals.

mechanical means are most often best, however, in rare cases we have needed to use muriatic acid.

thanks to both of you. your advice was right on. i was able to get 99% of the grout residue or better removed. i took the advice to scrub right away with a heavy duty sponge like scrubber and a spray bottle of water. i would wet a small area down and just scrub every night after work for an hour or so untill i got it. it came out really good. i was ready to get some sulfamic acid if necessary but was really skiddish about it. fortunately i didn't need to.
