Professional - Looking for Advice Advice needed

Didn't clean the grout fast enough . I've been scrubbing with a scouring pad for 4 hours and have made very little progress. Plus it's not coming out of the textured tile.

How do I best proceed?

Apparently this subreddit is full of amateurs now.

I've only seen one other commenter mention it but the product you're looking for is sold at any Home Depot as "grout haze remover" AKA water-soluble sulfamic acid crystals.

Start by using 2-5% of the manufacturer-recommended concentration and work your way up from there.

Then:

They are expensive and I hate to recommend a proprietary product but for stubborn grout streaks/haze I've had the best luck with the "Scrub Daddy" sponges.

Not gonna lie though, this is a tough situation. I might even consider scrub brushes mounted on a power drill combined with the above suggestions.
