Have put matt finish black porous tiles in the bathroom and can't seem to clean the grout off them - they are just permanently white (seem to think now should have sealed the tiles before putting them on the wall?) - what can I clean them with (and then seal them)?

In this cases, I make bigger joints, and use white (or other color similar of the tiles) joint cement.
