Removing old grout from wall tiles

Hi everyone,

Could someone help please, I have had to remove a row of tiles from my bathroom wall to have a shower pipe replaced. I need to put these tiles back but they have a lot of hard dry grout on the back of them. What is the best way to get this off???

thanks in advance

Soak the tiles in a bucket of water overnight.

id imagine it is tile adhesive on back off tile and not grout just soak them in hot water and the tile adhesive will perish in a few hours then just scrape it off even the best bal tile adhesive will come off the same way as tile adhesive sets in air and if you have a small hole in your grout steam can build up and cause your tiles to fall off but that would take months for that to happen thanks george
