Do most people really put this much effort into grout?

I have spent the last TWO days cleaning my grout (kitchen and bathrooms). Nightmare job with steam cleaner that has sprayed mucky water all over my walls and woodwork. My body is also done. I’m only 32 yo. And the annoying thing is it’s still not perfect as I couldn’t shift around 5% of the muck. It’s not like I’m that gross. Floors get hoovered and steam mopped every other day. I notice the water the steam mop produces just settles in the grout. Is there a solution to this?

So many people (friends and family) seem to have spotless grout. What is the secret?

We are doing a spring clean with a view to sell pretty soon. As a first time owner who has only recently cared about grout. What are most people doing? Cleaning grout regularly? Or doing big jobs now and then.

Spray cillit bang black mole remover. Wait. Wipe off. Use grout repair and restore thinly over any areas which are looking stained.

That’s what I do anyway. Doesn’t involve much elbow grease until you buff away the excess of the restorer when it’s dry.

Thank you. Will try this. How long do you leave it on for? The pink stuff took off my kitchen grout so a bit paranoid now

Black mould not mole.
