How to clean grout from tile that hasn't been sealed yet?

A friend had grouted our shower while we were out of town but there is still grout on several places on the tile and it is already hard, how do I remove this without hurting the tile?

  • ...The boyfriend who does tile, says you have to scrape this off VERY CAREFULLY with a flat razor blade tool, like the kind you use to clean paint off of things. You did not say if its gloss or regular ceramic tile, depending on the kind of tile, you have to still remove it with a razor tool, but have to be careful. Its one of the worst things to try to remove, is dried grout. :(

    Muratic acid is what we use to clean it up. It will eat it away, need to ventilate the bathroom wear gloves and a chemical mask. But it will make clean up easy,
