cleaning grout ?

[lovelylady]

I was recently washing the floors in the kitchen and noticed the grout is really dirty. It didnt come clean with simple scrubbing. Any products or methods you know of to get it clean?

We have ceramic tile and beige grout.

I've seen Oxiclean recommended, and it's what I use, but honestly, my grout is a medium gray, so it never looks dirty (therefore I can't tell when it's clean either). There are directions on the back of the box for cleaning grout. I do know you shouldn't use chlorine bleach. My mom used to use it on her counters and it ate the grout away.

Is your grout properly sealed? If you put a drop of water on the grout line, it should bead up, not soak in. If it soaks in, you should seal it. I think that will help with repelling stains. We seal our shower twice a year or so and the areas with less traffic once a year.
