I know they're a bit old fashioned now but brillo pads are brilliant for this.

hi there,
we get this all the time in build cleans we yse microfibre cloths and hot water, fantastic, and then for the larger lumps, a glass scraper with a new blade, at a high angle, doesnt mark the tiles.
hope that answers the question

Yep, we use the good old Microfibre cloths too, which remove 90% if not all the grout. As Martin has said, we use small 1 inch hand scrapers to remove the larger lumps.
Either a glass cleaning microfibre cloth or a scrim will bring it up to a nice shine after cleaning.
Kind Regards
Tim
