Cleaning Stained Bathroom Tile Grout

RE: Cleaning Stained Bathroom Tile Grout Post By sally (Guest Post) (04/12/2008) Tiles were stained with grout as the workers didn't clean it on the spot. We can't remove grout from the tiles. Please advise. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cleaning Stained Bathroom Tile Grout Post by Juanita S. (31) | (09/26/2007) Contact We moved into a house where the grout apparently had never been sealed & then the floors had hardly ever been clean. They were filthy & the grout was gross & stained! No amount of scrubbing or bleaching would make the grout look decent. I ended up going to my local lumberyard & getting a solution specifically for cleaning grout that had been abused. It worked wonders! Just remember that after using this, you have to reseal your grout & there are some pretty easy products out there to do this with these days.

New homes here often have all- in- one ceramic walls put in the bathtub/shower area instead of grout. The walls have the grooves to look a bit like grout, but no grout to clean or scrape and re-grout. Also no worries that moisture will get behind the grout and damage the wall or seep down to the first floor- if it's a two-story house. I love tile floors and walls, but I will never again have them in my tub or shower.

Soak the strips in bleach or diluted bleach water, whatever you prefer. Lay each strip on a section of the grout, and use the end of an old toothbrush to tuck the strip down so that its actually touching the grout. This works on tile walls too, as long as the strips are narrow enough and not dripping wet. Generally speaking, I just leave the strips in place till they dry, and when I take them away, my grout looks brand new. I haven't scrubbed grout in years, I just give it the paper towel treatment every so often and it looks great.

I occasionally use the mold/mildew cleaner or the soap scum pray remover to the the job done. Report Spam or Abuse
