How to fix or clean this old yucky chalk and grout?
![Amy](https://cdn-fastly.hometalk.com/media/profile/2019/04/14/312100_1.jpg?size=50x50)
I tried to clean this grout and chalk that's old and yucky. Nothing works. Should I peel chalk off and put new chalk on? And paint on grout?
Vinegar is acidic. I would use something pH neutral to rinse off the vinegar and dry it, with t-shirt rags stretched on my Swiffer frame. Try distilled water. Work in the direction of the grain.
I would read the ingredients on something like Mop and Glow and see what makes it shine.
You can also try Murphy’s oil soap

Ana, The best of all is Murphy's Oil Soap. Amber color with a red cap. It's in your supermarket. Aloha!
A professional floor person told me to use a bit of Windex in water and never to use Murphy's Oil Soap. As he said, you are not cleaning the wood - you are cleaning the finish that is protecting the wood.
Bona products are what I use!
