    I use the dettox stuff too, but its really nasty, I think I'll try the bleach and bicarb.

    Good morning.
    I do not know about floor grouting but I do know about grouting in between the bathroom tiles. A drop of neet bleach and an old toothbrush works wonders.

    Baking soda mixed with a little water is also a good cleaner.
    The secret to success is making very small, yet constant changes.:)

    Make a paste of thick bleach and bicarb (doesn't need to be precisely measure). Apply with a toothbrush (used one, or the one of your favourite enemy:rotfl:) leave 20-30 mins and wipe away.

    Perfection:D

    Is the grout white?

    If so, dig it out and re-grout with grey. White grout is impossible to keep clean on floors no matter now careful you are and how often you clean.

    It's kind of a natural colour grouting (or was should I say!).

    I use mold and mildew remover on mine and it worked really well. I have also used oxiclean.
