    How to remove old grout from surface of tile
    Several years ago while remodeling the bathroom, the tile person grouted the toilet to our tumbled marble floor. Now we want to install a new toilet. First how do I break loose the old toilet and second, how do I get the residual grout off the tumbled marble floor without damaging it?

    I believe the toilet is secured with two bolts. Don't know why it is grouted to the floor? Grout is very brittle.maybe a cold chisle on a low angle? A picture may help if it is possible
