I've tried almost every cleaning product out there. Anyone got any grout cleaning tips ?!?!?

get a scraper and take the very top layer off. either it will look white enough, great, or then get some new grout and just top up the old grout. really quick and easy, honest!

best grout cleaner I've used was one part bleach to 3 parts bicarbonate of soda. Mix it up to make a paste and scrub it over the grout with an old toothbrush. Leave it for 10 mins then rinse off.

This is by far the best grout cleaner I've ever used, if this stuff can't get rid of it i don't know what will lol. Use with a scraper for the best results.

You need to remove any limescale first with a special cleaner and a toothbrush, otherwise any other cleaner won't be able to reach the grout.....have only just discovered this and it seems to be working...

I just use mould remover spray ever so often, then wipe down. But I live in a soft water area.

Yep - neat thick bleach with a tiny bit of bicarb to make a paste (& in theory 10 minutes, however am easily distracted and have left it on for far longer in the past with no ill effects - just remember to clean it off before you bleach your family!), maybe a bit more bleach on an old toothbrush to do the scrubbing off bit?

I use the HG mold spray from Homebase or amazon every week. Oys about £6 a bottle but well worth it. My bathroom is 6 years old but looks new.
