Hi there, I had picked out some flagstone to face a wall, it has good
colaration and also quartz glitter.

After the workers grouted it, they havn't done the best to clean the
grout off, leaving a hazy look. They don't care about the look as
much as I do, not bad but not to the degree of cleaniness I would have
done myself... but I wasn't there to supervise unfortunately.

It has been less than 24 hours so I might do some action... Do you
think I could use something to clean it up better? how about a good
scrub with some water and scrotch brite pad? Or just a sponge?

Just a sponge for now, and don't rub too hard on the grout itself.
If there is grout in the grain you acn use a toothbrush to get it out.

Probably muriatic acid, but I believe you need to wait maybe a few
weeks.
