grout and floor tiles

Hi
Ive just laid a new tile floor in the kitchen, but Ive made a bit of a mess with the grouting.
Whilst the grouting itself looks fine, I havent been able to get it off the tiles properly and it seems to have set and i cant get it off. Its not as bad as you would imagine but in some areas the floor looks great and in some areas the floor looks turd.
Ive tried mopping with boiling water, some tile cleaner stuff. but, it still hasnt got it off. Does anyone have any ideas?
what about hiring a floor polisher from the hire shop or something?
help1 if I dont manage to sort it the mrs will have me ripping em up!

I used one of those safety razor blades (the ones with only one edge) & a kitchen scratchy pad scourer, with washing up liquid, then wiped over with a synthetic chamois cloth.
As long as you don't go crazy with the scratching n scraping, you should be OK. Ours were glossy tiles & you can't see where the grout had got onto them, now.
