    Have had good results with "Clorox Toilet Bowl Cleaner". I have tried a lot of other methods but none worked as well. The cleaner is a gel and so if you put a bit in the corners of four tiles and then move over the grout with a toothbrush, let sit for about 15 minutes and then scrub clean. Be sure not to use any mop you"re using to clean up, on any other flooring.

  • We use a product called "sugar soap"

    Hi Nancy, 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.
