I’ve tried so many cleaners and I am not satisfied. What is your go to grout cleaner. My tile is white, grout is off white and gets dirty easily.

As clean as I can get it and it used to be lighter


As it usually looks when needing cleaning

Hire a company to come clean and seal it.

This. But don't get white. It looks unnatural.

Have you tried HOT water and bleach and scrubbing with a stiff brush?

Home depot rents a mini pressure washer with a grout attachment. It works really well, but its not a wide nozzle. So it takes quite a while to do any big projects.

There’s no secret OP, I’ve paid people to do it and all they use is a grout brush on a mop handle for leverage and then clean with a tile cleaner/ pressure washer basically.

There is a secret. Use the bleach toilet bowl cleaner and a toothbrush. Report back.

This actually works pretty good. My best results have been with a mixture of peroxide and baking soda and a scrub brush.

If you want a solution without fumes that drive demons away.

Bar Keepers friend, spray water bottle. Stiff tooth brush.

I've turned our problem bathroom into a showcase in the grout lines using that technique. Turned those lines from gray to lilly white.

Grout pens from Amazon (12 pack, ivory), and seal it well. Cost me $30 and looks like new flooring. I used to do toothbrush and oxyclean and this was much easier. Paint right over the dirt.

So you've probably already scrubbed and chemically removed half your grout?

This

Had a similar problem and youtube brought this to my attention. Tried it and it worked better than any grout cleaning product i've tried. It is cheap, readily available at most stores. Do a test on a couple of lines to see it it's worth taking the time to do the entire room.
