I recently purchased some black floor tiles from Topps and have grouted them with a grey grout. The tiles are riven but also the surface is non-slip (matt finish). I could not see the problem as I worked but in a couple of awkward places I didn't remove all of the surplus grout (I thought I had but with using a damp cloth the tiny holes filled with grout were not easy to see). Now it has dried the small pin pricks of grout are visible. I have tried vigorous rubbing with a sponge, green pan scrubber and even a brass brush (started to leave brass on the surface so did not pursue that one!). Any ideas how I can remove this problem?

How the heck did a tiler find a use for a vegetable scrubber? This could spell the end for Lithofin Bob. Don't tell your wife she will have you preparing the evening meal whilst at work. No doubt there will be all sorts of veggy comments to follow.

I found out about this cloth from my customer after a bathroom install. I originally thought I had a leek.

Typical plumber, leaving the customer to clean the grout off properly. :p:D
