I have just finished grouting the tiles in my shower cubicle. What is the
best thing to clean & get the shine back on the tiles?
TIA

If you have followed the usual strategy then you will have grouted ,then
squeegeed,then wiped off the excess,then followed the spaces with a
suitable tool so whats left is to polish with a dry duster . I think Ive
got the correct order of play .

Bigeye........As long as you washed as you grouted! it should be just a case
of "polishing" them up. Use a clean, soft cloth......oh!.....and plenty of
elbow grease! LOL (god i hate that bit!)

A good rub in most cases. anything stuck hard can be removed with a
sharp metal blade.
