Removing excess grout?

[blazin]

Is there any 'safe' means to remove excess grout from Pebble sheen finish? It may be too late but two years ago my PB came to repair my waterline tiles and had grout overshoot into the pebblesheen. Don't get me started.

Long story short, my Aqua Blue has some splotchy gray spots bleeding in around the repair.

I just need to repair their repair.. again don't get me started.. since the water line is low and the grout is "fresher" I was curious if I can use some sort of stiffer bristle brush to clean the area. Obviously my biggest concern is damaging the pebble sheen or removing portions of the rocks making it look even worse.

It's not the biggest deal in the world, but if it's something I can fix I'd love to clean it up.

PM me if you are in MA and want to know a PB to avoid

No easy way to remove grout on plaster.

Post pics of some of the problem areas.

If you can very carefully apply diluted acid to the spots and let the acid dissolve the grout and then put baking soda on to neutralize the acid you may be able to clear some spots. If you take off too much plaster under the grout then you can lossen pebbles. So try this at your own risk.

Dang.. how often does one resurface a pebblesheen pool?

People pay a premium for a pebble pool for its long life. They hope to get 10 to 20 years out of it.

Couldn't recall, but yea definitely annoyed. If I ever hear anyone that needs a pool I will do everything in my power to steer them clear of my PB
