Could i have your recommendations for cleaning up my tiled wall after grouting please? I cleaned and sealed prior to fixing but now they have a white dusty look.

when did you put the grout up? as after grouting is up and clear of excess, wipe off with a damp sponge / cloth, residue is still going to form and will still need to be wiped off as the grout dries. I'm doing slate floor tiles myself at the moment and finding I'm repeating this a few times too right up to polishing when the grout is completely dry.

I've been grouting for a week, it takes a long time as i've been doing it small amounts at atime and cleaning as i go but they still have a residue and look nowhere near as good as they did brfore grout. so there must be a product i can put on wash of and then do the whole enhance and seal thing again right?

We always have universal grout film remover at work and I have never heard of anyone complaining about the product I am sure a quick google search and you will find a supplier
