So my house isnt very old, but sadly when they built my show near the drain it has a low spot where water collects and doesn't drain. So water sits there in a shallow puddle. And this has caused a discoloration in the grout. I have tried scrubbing it with soft scrub, I have used different bathroom cleaners on it. But nothing seem to get the grout white again. Any ideas on what I can use?

------------------

◦Remove anything that is stuck with a dull knife, but be careful not to chip the grout, though.
◦Use a solution of one part mild detergent to four parts warm water.
◦Wet grout with solution. Use a bristle brush to scrub the tile and grout.
◦Concentrate on the grout and use elbow grease.
◦Rinse the area with a mop or with terry cloth.

Combine baking soda with a small amount of white vinegar and use a small brush or old toothbrush to scrub your grout, and then rinse with warm water.


Spray shaving cream on stained grout, leave it on for a few minutes and scrub with a small brush.


For stubborn stains on light colored grout, make a paste of baking soda and straight peroxide. When the bubbling stops, apply this mixture to the stain and leave it on for approximately ten minutes. Scrub with a small brush and rinse.

A new method the pros use is steam-cleaning grout using high-pressure vapor. Not only does it deep clean the grout and remove grease, stains and dirt but also removes mildew, mold and sanitizes.

Steam clean them shizz. Yeah, CLR and a nice toothbrush should work, just be careful what fumes you breathe in.

Bleach, straight, not diluted.
