We have just purchased our second reno. Most of the house is tiled with large grey tiles, that are fine but the grout is very dirty. I have tried scrubbing [sweaty] them with all the usual household cleaning products but they are still dirty. Has anyone got any ideas for me.

I also know of a comercial cleaner whouses a rotary lino floor polisher to clean tiles and grout.
Good luck,

Firstly use sandpaper to get the top layer of grout off, then use either a grout whitening texta or grout cleaner which are both available from any hardware store or simply regrout. Hope this helps… G7
Tile shops have a grout cleaner that’s a mild acid, lives most dirt, although if the grout is thin then it’ll ift the grout too (found that out the hard way). Or you can buy a tool from the hardware to rip the group out and then regrout.
Whichever way you go, I’d suggest spending the time to seal the grout after you’ve got it clean. Most tile places and hardwares have the selaer, but forget painting it on with a small paintbrush like the instructions tell you. The quickest way I’ve found is to purchase a horse syringe froma farm supplies shop and simply squirt the sealer along the grout lines. Saves heaps of time.
