    Bleach and a nail brush but watch your hands, eyes and clothes and make sure if you have any coloured tiles it doesn't make them 'craze' or discolour them.
  • How about bleach and an old toothbrush to work it into the gaps? Or maybe a paste of bicarb of soda and water as mentioned in another thread about cleaning manky grouting? Good luck.

    Ask hubby to re-grout the offending part when he gets in Tell him you'll be angry if he doesn't do it before he cooks you dinner too! :rotfl: (Sorry)

    Have you tried bleach?

    I didn't see this til too late - but bleach should do the trick, as everyone else says. Our niece dyed our bathroom once (along with her own and our DS's hair)
    I never got the dye off of the vinyl flooring - it's still there now!
  • hi thanks for your replies!!!! i hit the bleach which has done the trick apart from two small stains which dh has not yet noticed phew! was panicking!!!!
    will never ever do that again i resemble morticia and have also ruined a nice top lol x
