Removing Grout Haze From Tile

After a ton of flooring issues in my kitchen, I was left with the dreaded grout haze on my new wood-look tile.
I asked my tile guy how to remove it and he said I just needed to sponge it down with warm water a few times...seriously?? A few??


So I decided to try out some different methods and it turns out, I only needed one!


Distilled White Vinegar and Water!
You can see below where I missed a section. The side with no haze was completely dry, that's how big the difference is.
It was almost like the vinegar and water solution ate it right off! The best part? It's completely chemical free and there was no "vinegar-ey" smell when it dried!


There are so many awesome uses for vinegar! What have you used it for?

    Thanks a lot for the tip. Was there any long term effects from using the vinegar? I am going to try this out cause other methods take awhile and a lot of effort and this seems to be one of the quickest and most efficient methods I have seen so far.

    Thanks again for the tip.
