How do you clean the grout inbetween tiles?

[beansprout]

Ours are now just a weird off white colour. I got some stuff from homebase that just creates another layer of stuff but was wondering if there is a bit more of a home grown solution that anyone knows about?

I thank you

Oooh yes I am watching this to see what is suggested. Ours are well manky!

an old toothbrush, a cup of bleach and some elbow grease should do the trick

you can buy grout cleaner...
I just use an old tooth brush and what ever cleaning fluid I have handy at the time....

toothbrush and bleach, if not grout pen

Kim and Aggie say toothbrush and half bleach, half water

dettol spray with bleach. Works like a dream but move your towels and watch your clothes.

Clean the grout with a toothbrush???

I don't think so...............

Yes toothbrush and bleach is wonderfully satisfying, and I don't normally like cleaning. I thought this was an MN thing, there are always some of us cleaning our grouting IME

Dettol mold and mildew spray (or bleach) and a toothbrush
Or a good scrubb then use a grout pen from B&Q - only a few £'s

Life is too short to clean grout. Just a quick rub overe with your normal cleaner and if the grouting doesn't get clean at the same time then it deserves to be dirty, it's its own fault.

I agree with you shimmy, but my house is getting seriously scuzzy and my reckoning was that a couple of "big" cleaning jobs would take the attention away from the rest of the dirt!

Soda crystals are very good too if you're not a bleach fan.

Dont use the grout-reviver stuff, it just peels off....I'd just bung another layer of grout over the top of the old one.

If its tiles in the shower, I put the thick bleach on starting at the top of the grout so it runs all the way down. Do this after a shower, and rinse it off before your shower the next day. It's a quick fix, and saves scrubbing with a toothbrush (which I save for a more in depth clean)

you can get this pen of white grout paint which seems a lot like tip-ex but is very very easy to draw on from homebase
