I've tried Aldi's spray but the grout is still beige rather than white
in a toilet and kitchen I'm tidying up. Can anyone recommend an
effective liquid or an effective method please? The least destructive,
the better!

I've had excellent resutls using HG Mould Remover, and HG Grout
Cleaner (bought from Homebase, but google finds lots of other
suppliers). Spray on, leave for and hour or, if the surfaces are bad
then repeat, then wash off with warm soapy water (I use a garden
sprayer).
Could then use an empty spray bottle with a diluted (but still strong)
mix of bleach and water. Clean off again with warm soapy water.
I use HG a couple of times a year and it keeps the shower cubicle nice
and clean.
HG Limescale Remover is good on the glass as well.

Cleaning grout is one of the few things steam cleaners (proper, not
tiny little hand held things) are quite good at.

Thanks, all. I'll give the HG a go.

Bleach is the first port of call. I've seen it turn black to like new. It does need repeated applications and long soak times, eg 4 applications left on overnight.

Mould is usually black, so what is producing the beige colour? Urine
plus scale round a bog maybe, but what about a kitchen?

I've often wondered: what deleterious effects does bleach have
(especially if you just leave it on) on grout. More than any other
"grout cleaner", that is?

I've always assumed it's just general grime that builds up over time.

Whatever was produced when the ex-tenant cooked? Turns out she was
hopelessly unaware of the notion of 'cleaning'.
