Cleaning Grout……what have you used successfully?

Reported.

spray bleach or bleach powder as a paste and an old toothbrush. (I never throw them away)

If all else fails, use a sharpie (or any permanent ink pen) to change the colour.

I agree with AGA. Bicarbonate of soda and white vinegar’s very good. Still have to scrub though.

I’ve found Pink Stuff quite good. Surely using toothpaste is an expensive option?

Flash with bleach - just spray. Leave until the next shower.

I have both Matt tiles & lappato tiles, if you have white grout, take the top of the bottle, I use flash with bleach, (don’t spray) & use a small paint brush, leave on for a few hrs or overnight, brings the grout up a treat! Steam mop or ordinary mop & bucket ( I lik

Meant to say I like deck brush for inside, then mop with vileda 3D mop to rinse, change the water a few times- worth the faff 😊

Just dine this at my son’s house . I used Hg grout cleaner which was pretty good. Then I used grout reviver to really brighten up.

This is an interesting thread: I'm the watching the responses & the helpful suggestions. Can I ask - does the appropriate cleaning method depend on what sort of tiles you have? Some tiles have a "matt" finish and perhaps are not easy so easy to clean - either the tiles or the grout? I'd be glad to hear any comments about this issue.

Depends what colour your grout is, bleach & water on white flash spray with bleach is very good. Ours is vanilla colour so used HG grout clearer the other night, some parts came up like new but a bit hit & miss really

Thick bleach left on for a good while works a treat

I have tried all of these suggestions but still no luck!!

It is, but buy 3 or so pens (£3) because they run out fairly quickly

Thank you everyone for all the tips…..there is no mold just grubby, so I will try a grout pen first as that seems an easy solution.

HG Mould Spray. Just spray on, leave a few hours and most of the marks simply dissolve - a quick scrub and the rest are gone. Careful though - I once bought the HG Grout Cleaner by mistake and it made no difference at all!

I would second HG mould spray. I also bought the grout cleaner by mistake.

You just spray it on and leave it for 30 minutes. No scrubbing required.

Astonish Mould and Mildew remover. Spray it on, leave overnight, wipe off. Pound stores and Superdrug have it.

Yes I agree Ali . Toothpaste is great. It's also wonderful for chrome. I coat chrome taps with it, rinse off after a few minutes and the taps are gleaming.

Toothpaste and an old toothbrush or whatever.
Rub the toothpaste on the grout, leave for a few minutes. Dampen your brush or scourer and gently scrub away. Rinse off.
All done!

Steam cleaner but apparently it removes grout protector if you have it but mine are old tiles so don’t worry

The grout pen was £1 from poundland.

My steam mop has a grout brush attachment and it works really well in the kitchen. Hard work but really makes a difference. I recently got a quote for someone to clean the grout using their cleaning machine, £110!

I use thick bleach and a paint brush.

Thanks all, with try all these (looks like the Grot Buster is no longer sold), but it looked on utube just like really thick bleach, so may give that a go. Oh gosh, Spring Cleaning!!
