Default Cleaning tiles and grout

F wrote:
I've got most of the grease/grime off a tiled kitchen (not ours, I
hasten to add!) but the grout is in pretty poor condition with grease
and food/spices staining it.

Anyone able to suggest an easy/quick (probably mutually exclusive but I
can dream!) way to get the grout back to how it was?


Before going the re-grout route, try some ordinary household bleach on
an old toothbrush and give it a good scrub. I redid a whole bathroom
like that in a couple of hours, and I had anticipated needing to regrout it.

If you do go for a re-grout, give the new grout a coat of Lithofin Grout
Protector once its done. That will make it much more stain resistant in
the future.
