My kitchen counter top has 4" ceramic tiles with 1/4" grout lines.

Over the years, and in spite of regular cleaning, grease and dirt
has accumulated in these slightly recessed grout lines and made them

crumbling).
While I am at it I would also like to recondition the 14" floor tile
grout lines. Would they require a different cleaning procedure?

What is the easiest way to restore the grout to like-new condition?


Two words: Pressure Washer.

No, I haven't tried it and I don't know that it will work. It's
probably just thinking outside the box (which is very similar to
coloring outside the lines), but if all else fails...



three words......step away from the pressure washer......okay, six
