How do you remove the milky grout finish on mosaic tiles?

the contractor who installed them said to keep washing them but this milky looking grout finish is impossible to get out because it's on a very large areas like fireplace, backsplash and window sills. The tiles had a beautiful glistening rock finish and they are now very dull!

Sorry you had a crappy contractor. They should have finished the job properly for you, which includes sealing the grout. Wash with a solution of vinegar and water 50/50. Then let dry thoroughly then seal the grout. Sealing the grout will make it easier to clean. Then go after the contractor. I would lodge a complaint.
There is no easy way to eliminate it. Just keep cleaning it with clean water a clean cloth. Make sure to change the water and cloth often . I just finished doing a whole bathroom and it took me weeks to finally get it looking good
i have health issues and not enough energy to wash these very large surfaces every day or even once a week. There is a section in front of the fireplace where my cleaning lady washes the whole floor and you see the difference
