Sapientia et Doctrina Stabilitas
I'm so frikken tired of hearing my wife complain about not being able to get the grout in the shower sparking white clean that I decided I'd give her the gift of new grout.
Yeah yeah, she is getting something else too, but really this has way bigger impact than it sounds.
Now the tiler was such an incompetent clown that the grout lines are too small, and few of the tile corners line up, so the grout file cant work. So I break out the dremel diamond coated disk. It cuts the glazing in a heartbeat at the slightest shake of the hand....
The wire brush leaves black metal on the grout. No good. I finally settled on the disk for plastic. If you're a ham fisted clown it too will cut thru glaze but with a light touch it works. I managed to get one end of the tub regrouted tonight.
To be continued. But I can say it may have been easier to just rip out all the tile and put in new premium large tiles.

Used to use a carbide encrusted knife doohickey but ya leverage and uneven lines made it super easy to chip the tile. Never had to do an entire shower grout removal, would not be fun.
