A wirebrush drill bit will work as a last resort. It is very tedious, very messy, and very time consuming - but it gets the job done.
ANSWER:There is a product called grout release which you should be able to find at Home Depot. Slate should always be sealed before you grout to avoid this problem, but very few salespeople warn you about this.
I think the wire brush drill bit may scratch the stone. Might want to try a scrub-buster first after you soak the area with grout release to soften up the grout bits. Have someone go behind you to power vac up the bits so they don't reattach to the stone. When you are done seal the stone with a professional stone sealer.

∙ 14y agohonestly, you cant.. I had the same problem, went too fast and grout dried on. I had done some 1st time tiling in other tiles, and not done slate before. Once it's dried you knackered. you can try grout residue remover(brick acid), but it will ruin anything it runs down on. better to bite the bullet, knock em off and start again...

Do you seal tile before you grout?
It depends on the type of tile you have. If the tile is unglazed and porous (as mostly all travertine is) then you will need to seal the tile before you grout it so that the grout does not soak into the tile and cause it to become dull. Follow the manufacturers recommendation for the tile that you have.
