first time tiling and grouting - tiled a small shower and bathroom fine - but got it really wrong with the grouting . . . . - by the time i got back to removing the grout off the tiles it had set pretty hard. i now have loads of grout all over the 30cm limestone tiles that i cant get off - i have tried sanding it off, which works but takes ages for each tile - have tried a stripping-scraper which doesent work, and scourers and wire wool, which also dont work - am i destined to spend days sanding every tile, or is there anything out there that could help me out?? ARGGHH!

Hi Richard welcome to our forum, are your tiles a nice polished ceramic?, one of those paint scrapers with a stanley blade in will take the grout off the tile but the lines will take a bit of elbow grease to get them uniform and smooth I'm afraid, good luck
