How to get rid of excess grout on outdoor tiles?

[AJ-DIYer]

Hello all, 

Having made the mistake to not clean the surrounding areas properly after applying grout on the outdoor tiles, it's left with a big regret that I should have rubbed it off with sponge a couple of more times not just once. I assumed they could be washed off later easily. 

I have tried kitchen metal scrubber, gif and sand paper all of which made a small difference but still a long way to go. Besides the sand paper is changing the surface of my tiles from rough to soft being the most effective method 😐.

What else can I use?

Hi @AJ-DIYer,

Thank you for your question about removing excess grout from your outdoor tiles.

I'd suggest checking out this discussion - How to remove grout haze where my colleagues have offered some great solutions.

You might like to start by applying a 50/50 mix of cleaning vinegar and water allowing it to soak for 5 minutes. Once it has soaked, grab a scrubbing brush and give it a scrub.

If this does not work, you can move to a more intensive solution such as this Tile And Grout Cleaner or a high-pressure cleaner such as this Ozito 1800W 2030PSI High Pressure Washer.

If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
