Default Need to convince the wife that it's crud on her countertop (not grout)

If it's crud, soapy water and a brush will remove it, do they?


Yes.

A problem was the brass brush dulled the "tiles" a bit; so
I should have used a softer brush (e.g., a toothbrush).


DADD-
Looks like your wife was right (again) ....despite her warning you F'd
up again.
Now you have a nice groove to act as a real crud catcher and you've
given her maint problem.

Often times stone tiles are set with epoxy grout...my experience,
epoxy grout is a better adhesive but is softer.
Stop messing with it.
