Cleaning tile grout

4 replies

My bathroom tile grout is rank. Live with mechanics so it's horrible and grey round the sink area.
I've tried bicarbonate soda & vinegar. Nothing. Toothpaste . Nothing . Really don't want to have to regrout it ( thinking actual grey grout)
Any tips ?

Bicarb and vinegar won't work despite fizzing and looking like it's doing something because you've got acid and alkali cancelling each other out. Try a paste of bleach and bicarb instead and use an old toothbrush to work it into the grout lines. A mould and mildew spray such as HG or Dettol might also work - spray it in and leave to work then rinse off. Ventilate the room well though as they are bleach based.

Definitely try the dettol mould and mildew spray, works wonders!

HG mould spray is - IMO - the finest product created for tile grout. (Not just mould - stains/dirty marks or anything really.)

Just spray on and leave for 30 minutes then rinse off. No effort or scrubbing at all.

I was converted by a lady who ran a lovely BB we stayed at years ago and was amazed at how clean the grout in her shower cubicles were. She showed me this so I came home, bought some and now have sparkling grout everywhere 😸.

Bet someone else comes along shortly suggesting the same thing as there are quite a few devotees of this product on Mnet.
