    If its ceramic tile you can buy a tool made for grout removal. Some are carbide saws while others are a tunsten pick that is dragged down the grout line. Check the aisle where grout is sold, tools are usually there. You can also buy a bit that fits into a Dremel drill. The bit must be labeled for grout.
