A while back you had a solution for getting rid of mold in grout that called for tea tree oil and something else. Soaking cotton balls and just letting it sit on the area for a couple of hours. I’ve got colored grout and I’ve tried everything you can buy and nothing works.thank you!

I've heard of using hydrogen peroxide on cotton balls and letting them sit. I hope this helps!
Plain old white vinegar, vinegar kills mold spores, bleach does not.

Hi Maria - This is the shower cleaner that we use to help keep grout and tiles clean and minimize the mildew - it works on kitchen grout too. Hope this helps! Hugs, Holly

Please avoid using vinegar as it will dissolve the grout. I’ve always used bleach.
