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.
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.
