Excess dried grout on tile lines

It's been 5 days as I've had other house jobs to get on with but I need to sort this now i have more time

Plus it's sticking out like a sore thumb
Yeah that's a bit of a mistake.
It should never have been left. The longer you leave it the more it will cure and the more likelihood it'll have to be mechanically removed.
 
Deterdek does not fundamentally effect grout 🙂

I'd be surprised if any acidic cleaner used incorrectly wouldn't "bleach" the colour from grout but I haven't used that particular Fila product so I bow to your superior knowledge😉

It's just what it says on the bottle Paul, haha
But I have used it and it is a good product, but for this application, I feel it may be multitools at dawn! Haha
 
I'd try the cleaner first with a scourer. If that doesn't work try the mechanical removal option but don't use a spinning brush with acid!!
