Default Bathroom Grout

Bathroom and tiles are about 3 1/2 years old.
The wife is moaning that the (white) grout is going a little yellow. I'm
rather colour blind so I will take her word for it.
The bathroom and tiles are cleaned regularly. After every shower it gets a
blast with that shower cleaner stuff.

Is there any fix apart from bleach?

Yep, keep personal hygiene up and the environment doesn't get so tatty.
Though brushing ye teeth with limescale gel does sound a bit hardcore ...

On a serious, try brushing with some diluted vinegar. That does whiten
up nicely I found.

It is one of the few jobs that steam cleaners do rather well.
