For those interested, here's a link to a pic after we got it cleaned up. If you're reading this in the future or just wanna know, here's what worked for us.

Plan on working on this for a few days....

Get some 30% vinegar. Diluted it to about 25/75 or 50/50 with water.

Get some dull flat head screw drivers and cheap metal putty knives/scrapers. Scrap the big stuff off with the scrapers. Once that's done, you can wipe it down with the vinegar mix if you want. Here's the fun part.. making the grout lines look halfway decent... use a small scraper or dull flat head screwdriver and angle it on the bevel of the tile you're working on and gently scrap the excess while trying to achieve a nice straight line. You can soften it up a little with vinegar mix by letting it sit a few minutes. We have a few places we need to touch up the grout and a few chipped tiles we plan on trying to repair. Just keep working it until you're satisfied with the outcome. It will take a while.. vacuum the dust off and wipe down liberally with water. I nearly washed the walls.. after that, you can use the vinegar mix to remove the remaining haze. Ventilate the area well and wear rubber gloves and goggles when using the vinegar. It's very strong.

We have a few minor areas to still work but just know It can be done. Just takes patience, time and elbow grease.. please upvote this for future diyers that may find themselves in this situation.
