Product with bleach in it. I use Tilex and let it sit or spray bleach on grout and let it sit for at least an hour, then scrub it with soft scrub and a scrub brush. Rinse thoroughly. Seal once cleaned.
The water from cleaning the tile floor will settle into the grout and if there is even a little dirt in the water, it will dry on the white grout and start getting darker. I have four dogs and my tile in the kitchen gets dark every time I wash it since they are in and out the dog door all day. I usually hand wash the floor, that way I can give the grout a tooth brush scrub real quick and dry it off right away. I make sure I keep my water real clean to make it a little easier.
Peroxide and baking soda made into a paste and then use a toothbrush to scrub it into the grout. Let it site for a little and wipe with a clean cloth.
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.
