Get rid of discoloured and dirty grout with this tip!

Keeping it clean – Grout

WHAT TO USE: Any liquid cleaner, gloves, brush, sponge, undiluted vinegar or bleach, grout sealer

HOW TO USE IT: First, wash the entire tile surface with a bathroom cleanser to remove soap scum. Pour a little vinegar or bleach onto a damp sponge and apply it to the grout lines and let stand for a few minutes. Scrub the grout with a brush and rinse with clean water. If you prefer to get right in there, use a toothbrush dipped in vinegar or bleach and scrub. Be careful! Bleach can cause discolouration – it’s best to test in a hidden spot and never use on coloured grout. Rinse with fresh water and let dry. When everything is dry (after and hour or so) apply a grout sealer to prevent new stains. You can purchase grout sealer at your local home building store.
