    Grout haze over walls and floor.

    Hi I've just finished grouting my porcelain tiles with a grey grout. I gave them a good sponge over but now they're drying there's grey haze over the tile. Do I just wait for the grout to dry then go over with sponge and water again or do I need some kind of acid based product? Thanks
