    I've heard that you can pour regular Coke on the grout and let it sit (not sure how long) wipe off with soft cloth. Hope this helps. 😀

    Hello! There's many tutorials and suggestions online - however, after trying many, here are the 2 best ways I've found to clean grout (*clean tile first*). Option 1) A combo of peroxide and baking soda. Wet grout lines with peroxide, then apply baking soda. You can apply the baking soda by pouring/shaking baking soda over peroxide/grout, or use a small brush to apply. If you pour the baking soda on grout, you still need to use a small brush to scrub (not very hard or for very long) over grout lines to mix the two products together, and help get in the grout. Option 2) Oxiclean powder and water. Wet grout with water and apply Oxiclean - (use same suggestion in option one regarding application of powder and brush to clean). I find both options work better if left on grout for 20 minutes or so (you can see when it starts drying), then wipe off with microfiber - or other - towel. Remove residue from tile with a very damp mop or rag. I hope this helps. P.S. You may see small spots of residue in grout after it completely dries (with either method). If so, simply rinse area with water and dry with cloth.

    Use a gel toilet bowl cleaner (Like Clorox toilet cleaner with bleach). It must be the "gel" formula. Squeeze on the grout lines - let sit for a bit and wipe off and rinse. Does a fantastic job!
