Grouting a slate tile floor can leave lines and streaks across the tile surface. Neutral cleaners will not remove this material. The tile needs to be acid-washed carefully. A mixture of sulfamic acid and water can remove the grouting from the surface of the slate tile. The difficult part is making sure to keep the surface wet and limiting the time that the sulfamic acid sits on the tile. Be sure to neutralize the acid afterwards with baking soda to avoid permanent damage to the tile and grout.
