While powdery film appearing on tiles when rub them with your hands

    Hi
    The tiles in shower in our ensuite seem to have a white dusting film on them that appears if you rub the tiles with you hands. See attached pic

    It seems to rub off if you rub it with a dry cloth

    The shower tiles are sprayed each time we use it with one of those daily shower sprays out of Aldi/Tesco and about every couple of weeks we wash the tiles and the shower like a deep clean

    Whats this white residue/powder. Its not grouting as its a few years sinced the bathroom was done up

    Any thoughts re how to get rid of this and keep it away or is it just dried out soap/shower gel/daily shower spray residue and just needs to wash the tiles regular in warm soapy water

    Thoughts
    Thanks

    I would say its the chemical weapons leaching out a little of the grout as well as just residue

    I think the cleaning agents dry in and hence the powder - they say "no rinse" but I don't believe it.
