Keeping new tile grouting clean.

We've just had our shower redone, so the cubicle looks great with shiny new tiles and beautifully clean new grouting. Over the years the old grouting got darker and darker, even though I cleaned it with baking powder and vinegar. I understand there are types of grout sealant on the market. Has anyone has tried this? Is it worth doing?
Any advice/recommendations welcome.
Thanks in advance.

No sealant but I keep ours sparkling with Cillit Bang black mould remover.

It may also be a ventilation problem. It is important to have a moisture detecting fan that will send moisture outside, or at least leave a window open.

Also, depending on your circumstances, try to leave the bathroom door open when showering/bathing to let out the steam and when not using the bathroom.

Otherwise, I use the usual mould remover available in supermarkets. Be sure to leave in a few hours though. I usually spray before going out and then rinsing when I get back.
