I finished the bathroom 3 days ago and i'm now in the process of cleaning and a little remedial work here an there, however i can not get the floor clean. I tiled the floor last with the exception of the bottom wall tile so that it over-lapped, and although some cement did get on the tiles I wiped any excess away. I then grouted Friday night and likewise cleaned any excess, altough this was a complete barsteward to do. When the tiles are wet they look great, but as it starts to dry they look like dust has been sprinkled over them. The were a mid priced tile at 40bht each 13" square and have a rough feel to them as they are none slip in a grey finish. Almost slate like.

I remember a builder in the UK said rubbing a little veg oil over them gives them a clean look.

Any tips appreciated.
