I just put tile in my laundry room, when I laid the grout, it got into the pores of the tile and I can`t get it up, it looks like a chaulk film on the tiles!! How can I fix it?

Default

have you tried mineral spirits?
Not sure if it will work but they do say it removes grout.

grout can "burn" into the surface of tile,porcelain and especially natural stone like travertine,slate, and saltillo pavers.

you may try a grout remove product that has sulfamic acid which eats cement but be carefull and read the instructions before.

it is common to pre seal slate and saltillo pavers before grouting as the grout can immediately burn into the surface which cannot be fixed
