    Black Grout problems

    I have laid grey Porcelain tiles and have used black Unibond grout. I now have a grey residue that looks like a coating of grey dust on all the grout. This is despite cleaning several times. When the grout is wet it is perfectly black. How can i remove this residue and get the black grout finish.
