After tiling my outdoor patio, I noticed a thin white film that I'm having trouble removing. What can I do to remove it.

Is it thinset or grout? Diluted muriatic acid-CAREFUL-would most likely work or try vinegar as a wash and then rinse with water.

What type of tile did you use and please tell us if this was thinset or grout.

It is a white film left after I laid the tile. Obviously I didn't clean it properly and noticed it 24hrs later
