Cleaning grouting between floor tiles

moneylover

Moved house recently and the kitchen floor has lovely glossy cream floor tiles but the grouting is very dirty/discoloured. My steam mop has no effect as the grouting is not flush with top of tiles.

Have experimented with BarKeepers Friend and that certainly helps but it's very slow applying a paste then eating awhile and scrubbing out with a cloth . It's a big kitchen too!
Anyone got any suggestions? Obviously have got to be careful not to use anything which would damage the tiles

Many thanks

A steamer with a powerful nozzle on it blasts all
The dort out. Works wonders on ours!

Dirt! I can't edit on my phone and am so guilty of not checking before I post. Tired too!

Take a bit of rough sandpaper and take he top of the grout if it's not too bad. Then seal with grout spray

If it's bad then the grout will need to be removed and replaced . A fein oscillating tool and grout blade will do it with ease

We moved into a house with filthy textured tiles and filthy grout in the hall and kitchen, we used a stream mop with the scrubbing brush attachment. It took a lot of hard work and a few towels to clean up the dirty water but it's now easy to keep it clean.

a toothbrush and some bleach should do. It might be tedious!
You can also buy grout revival, but try scrubbing first.

They may have used black grout?

Models also available from other manufacturers such as Makita, Bosch, etc...

Great little tool, and so useful for any little sanding, cutting, or grinding job especially in those difficult to reach areas. Currently, my favorite go-to power tool.
