    You can spray warm water and vinegar on the grout, leave it for 5 mins, then scrub - I like to use an old toothbrush. Good luck!

    Mr. Clean pad works the best. Be sure you rinse with clean water.

    To clean dark colored grout lines on tile floors: ***** Mix baking soda and white vinegar in a cup to a paste like consistency. Use a small brush to apply the mixture to the grout lines. Allow the mixture to remain on the grout lines for a little while. Use a small scrub brush or an old toothbrush to scrub the grout lines. Clean the floor with water to remove the baking soda and vinegar solution. ***** To clean white or light colored grout lines on tile floors: ***** Sprinkle dry oxygen bleach on the grout lines. Spray the bleach with water in a spray bottle to wet it down. Allow the oxygen bleach to remain on the grout lines for a few minutes. Scrub the grout lines with a small scrub brush or old toothbrush. Clean the floor with water to remove the oxygen bleach. *****

    Hi Linda, You can make a thin paste of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. Apply it to the grout and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes. Scrub with an old toothbrush and rinse clean. If the grout between the tiles has worn down too far, it may be a better idea to first re-grout and then seal. You can also buy grout pens to quickly “recolor” your grout and make them look new again.
