What's the easiest way to clean bathroom tile floor grout ?


Use strips of kitchen paper towels. *Soak them in household bleach.
Lay the stips of paper along the grout. *Wait 30 min (or more,
depending). *Remove paper. *Be sure to wear rubber gloves and don't
let the bleach touch clothing.


Bleaching isn't the same as cleaning. *Bleach will kill mildew, remove a
lot of stains, but
darkens some stains (rust). *There is a lot of DIRT that isn't much
affected by bleach.


I think we are talking mostly about stain, not dirt.

There is also a "bleach pen" type thing you can buy from Target or
Walmart that does pretty much the same thing without the kitchen
towel. But it's pretty expensive (about $3 that'll clean a relatively
small area).
