    Yes, a paste of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. Place it on the grout lines, let it set for a while. Use an old damp tooth brush and brush the grout lines. Wipe and rinse. You can also use white toothpaste (not gel) and a damp tooth brush.

    For me the best way is to mix 1/3 cup lemon juice, 1/2 cup baking soda and 1/4 cup vinegar together. Mix well and then spray on the grout , wait for afew minutes then scrub.
