    Thank you so much for sharing this. I recently had a new bathroom shower put in and this haze is on my tile. Looking closer, it was actually all over the place, walls and floor. I knew it had to be something that the guy did because I had to stop him in the middle of the job and get someone else to finish because his work was not what he said it would be. I'm happy to know this will come off with a little chemical although I was looking for a more natural approach. Thanks again for sharing!

      You can use a mix of dawn and vinegar and use a brush, that’s will take care of the haze pretty easy, I just did it last week on a new black floor, the only thing is that the black grout kept a whiteish shade but I did a second last just in the grout and then sealed it and everything is good now.

    Will this pull up a color seal? We had to grout some areas and then we had to color seal some areas. I was afraid to do anything to the color sealed area until it had time to set. So the grout haze was still there and I want to fix it, I just dont want to pull up the color seal with any chemical I use.

      Seal your grout. You should read the directions on the back of the bottle.. you are supposed to SEAL it a few times.. more the better. Our tiles look brand-new because we sealed the grout lines.. have resealed over the years. Plus that's nasty to think of what's getting into your grout so Save yourself a cleaning headache and SEAL the grout 😂
