My renovator put together my beautiful new shower, and now that he's
gone, and I've had an opportunity to use the shower for a couple
weeks,
it seems that the grout was not fully washed off my porcelain tiles.

I have a couple questions.

1) What is the best way to remove the film of grout from the surface
of
tiles? It seems to have hardened and the true colour of the tiles
are
not coming out as they look dull due to the grout on the surface of
the
tiles? If I need to scrub it? what should I use?

2) I do have a large shower, (4x8), and I would like to seal it once
I've cleaned it up a little. What would be best for a shower? Does
it
make a difference if I seal it now or say a month of shower use
later?
Does it make a difference if the surface grout is not cleaned up
before
I seal it?

Thanks for your help

You can use a masonry cleaner (acid wash) to clean it up. SureKleen
is one product that will work well.
