DH has just finished tiling 100 m2 of tiles in our new place.(glossy white) I have mopped the area 2 times already with a microfibre cloth...damp with a floor cleaner but the tiles are still covered with grout dust tomorrow I am going to go in with a bucket and sponge and sit on the floor and individually rinse the tiles. I have bought a "long life" tile cleaner from bunnings to finish off any tips to make this easier? thanks, Jo Re: cleaning grout haze off tiles 2Jan 11, 2009 7:28 pm The haze should be just rubbed off with a clean dry rag...
