That's rough, I have used detergent 9000, its an acid ,if you use it wear resporator,if its not that bad you can use a puddy knife, brilo pad ,or a scotch btight pad, always try a small area to see if you are going to damage the tile.
Even though you can use a chemical cleaner to clean your shower tile, I have found that one of the best method for cleaning til and grout is to use a steam cleaner.
Steam cleaners are much faster and easier to use then scrubbing the grout by hand. In addition, they use pressurized steam which allow them to effectively cleaner out the uneven grout surfaces.
Tip: If you just want to maintain the shower tile clean, you can spray it with diluted vinegar just before or after showering. the vinegar will disinfect the tile surfaces and keep mold and mildew from growing.
1. Mix a quarter cup of bleach to about a half gallon of water. Depending on the type of cleaning you have to do, Oxyclean or any of several grout cleaning products at Lowe's will do the job. Tilex or Lysol shower cleaner will do the job, too, but with a harsher chemical that may bleach or stain surrounding surfaces.
2. Use an old toothbrush to scrub the stains (I do it on my hands and knees each grout line scrub individually..it takes a few minutes for the results). Make sure to thoroughly rinse away all cleaning solution residue.
3. Buy a grout sealer (silicone sealer) so it won't happen again!
if you want a good grout sealer try clear nail varnish.
You can also clean grout with vinegar and baking soda. when you mix the two together you get and oxidizing reaction that helps to lift a remove heavy stains.
The easiest way however, is to clean grout and tile with a steam cleaner. Super heated pressurized steam work great to clean the uneven surfaces.
You can use a soft wire wall, ensure it wont scratch the tiles on a spare tile and go round rubbing the dried excess. For the future the best way to apply grout to tile is to make the grout slightly more sloppy and apply it with a sponge, you can then sponge off the excess as you apply it.
One way to clean grout is to make a mixture of baking soda and water and applying with a scrub brush or toothbrush. One can also make a mixture of bleach and water, apply to the grout, and let it soak for 15 minutes before scrubbing. There are also commercial products meant to clean grout, including MK Tile and Grout Clean.
Grouting between tiles on floor or walls of a shower, or anywhere else can be cleaned easily with bleach and a small brush, I use an old tooth brush and concentrated bleach. When clean wash over thoroughly with warm water as there may be a slippery surface and strong smell when you next have a shower otherwise. I suggest wearing gloves, old clothes on which you don't mind bleach spots if they happen and ensure the room is well ventilated.
Cleaning tiles is difficult with the wrong supplies but if you have the right cleaner at your disposal then it is a piece of cake. Generic household cleaners such as Mr. Clean, Lysol, or powder-based cleaners can work on tile grout. Make sure to rinse the grout well after cleaning.
A wet scotch-brite pad works well and it won't damage the tile.
You have prouducts called breech then dab it on a spong and clean the drakes inside the bathroom
Nothing wrong with windex, it will work ok & not harm Porcelain but may not get everything off it.

if your grout had not been seal then it will be hard to clean and if you clean with acid the grout will be change color.
