What's the best way to clean grout?

Eric SS · 02-10-2004, 05:17 PM

Like the question says, I would like to clean the grout between our tile. Is there any special way to do it. I tried using a toothbrush and some bleach on a small section and it worked OK but not the best. The grout started life as an almost white color.

Thanks.

Bleach or some kind of bleach-spray works best, but it still requires scrubbing.

It's all about dark-grey groat; doesn't show a thing.

There are products at HD/Lowe's in the tile section specifically for cleaning grout. OxyClean lists it as an application on the tub, but I haven't tried it for that.

It's why I always use a non-white grout and seal. If you bought it like that, not much you can do other than clean it and seal, I guess.
