Short answer: epoxy grout haze and epoxy resin residues are dissolved with an epoxy remover such as stone clear EE 62: apply undiluted with a brush, leave for approx. 45–60 minutes, scrub and wash off with water. Repeat if necessary. Do not use in direct sunlight. An ordinary cement haze remover won't help with epoxy.
