Grout Residue

Hi Maurizio, I recently layed kashmire white granite tiles on my bathroom floor. After I grouted, I didn't realize that I had missed cleaning up a few small areas, and now I can't seem to get up the rough residue. Do you have a product that would remove it. By the way, the grout I used was just the regular unsanded stuff you buy at home depot. Thanks for your help.
 

Dear Gayle:

No biggie. Just remove the worst with a razor blade (no you will not scratch the stone – not even if you try) and then finish the job with a product like MB-3.

Now remember, it's never too early to think about the proper maintenance of your stone. The issue of what you'll be doing day in and day out to your stone is – as it should be intuitive – vastly more important than its sealing (if and when possible and/or advisable) and it's all too often neglected. As you can tell by reading many of this site's postings, you're not likely to get good information about routine care from your dealer or installer. Don't become another statistic!
