cleaning grout

My OH is in the building trade, he takes the old grout out & replaces it every couple of years!

I redid mine with a pack of grout from poundland - looks great;)

I did read somewhere that ordinary toothpaste rubbed in with an old toothbrush would do the trick.

I asked this some time ago ... white "scuff" shoe cleaning paint was recommended (with a sponge at the top). You can buy it from woollies and shoe shops.

I used bleach first and went over the grouting with the white paint and it came up great. Still looks good a year later and not too much effort.

Has anyone got any ideas for whitening floor tile grout that has gone a bit grubby?

Thanks...

I have used toothpaste and an old toothbrush and it seemed to help, or some really thick gloopy bleach neat.It's a rotten job though and one I put off

If you check the Cleaning section of the MEGA Index there are some threads on cleaning grout. As far as I rememeber - they're all hard work

Like JackieO, i would use a toothbrush dipped in bleach. On my greasy cooker, vinegar and bicarb work wonders, might work on the tiles as well, again if you use a toothbrush. If its really bad, you might have to re grout them!!!

Just posted this on a mould problem, apologies for repeating myself. Try sugar soap, works fantastically and leaves my bathroom like new.

I give mine a clean and then use shoe whitener on the grout to make it bright white.
