    We have tried all sorts to clean the grout in our bathroom tiles which were grubby since we moved in here, bought some HG mould spray in Homebase last week, does say use for cleaning bathroom and kitchen tiles and grouting, worked brilliantly tiles and grout have come up like new.

    I agree with cajef, HG Mould Spray is excellent. I have tried loads of different types in the past but haven't found anything as effective as this. It is so easy to use although make sure you aren't wearing anything that you would be upset to ruin because it can bleach your clothes

    Does it work on discoloured kitchen grout? I think grease has discoloured it.

    You could try HG grout cleaner, have not used it myself but all HG products seem to do what they say on the label.

    I think it will work, I haven't found anything it doesn't work on yet (nor their other products).

    For a cheap solution for removing grease, you could try mixing soda crystals with hot water.

    Have you tried bleach and a toothbrush...there are a few threads about cleaning tiles. I have just spent the morning scrubbing my bathroom ones with bleach and a toothbrush and they look so good. It was worth all the effort!
    Worth trying first as very cheap!

    Try Domestos Grot Buster

    Worked well in my bathroom with not too much elbow grease!

    Another vote for bleach. I put it in a spray bottle and do mine every so often. I don't use a toothbrush though- I spray it onto bog roll and make a sort of papier-mache in the grooves where the grouting is, pushing it into place (try it, it works) and leave it overnight. Comes up lovely in the morning:):)

    I found the strong soda crystals solution worked really well, better than some of the supposed specialist grout cleaners! And much cheaper too!
