How to remove dried sanded grout?

John P on Apr 01, 2012if it is a smooth glazed tile it could be scraped off to a light film and then washed off you might also still be able to soften it if you can hold a wet rag over it for awhile unless it has been sealed alreadyHelpful Reply

Michelle E on Apr 01, 2012Some of it is in the recesses of the embossed tiles. I do think my son sealed the tile in this room- but not positive as I do have a few stains from when my husband dripped and splattered his hair color. Grrr!Helpful Reply

Tri-Lite Builders ~ Homework Remodels on Apr 02, 2012Home depot has a product from Tile Lab called Sulfamic acid Cleaner. http://www.homedepot.com/buy/cleaning/vacuums-floor-care/tilelab/16-oz-sulfamic-acid-cleaner-65181.html Be sure to use gloves and ventilate the area well. Follow the directions and expect to put some time into the project. I have not used it myself, but I heard that it works well to take off dried grout from the surface of textured tile. No guarantee about removing hair coloring. Good luck with your project.Helpful Reply

Therese Ryan-Haas on Oct 11, 2014Might want to try scrubbing with Vinegar and a soft scotch bright. It worked for me when I left the black grout on the white tile to long. It left a ugly dark haze. Talk about panic city. But a little scrubbing with vinegar it came right off.Helpful Reply
