nope, doesn't work here. again...white tile counters with white grout = soft scrub with bleach
I used Magic Erasers on the grout of my floor tiles in the kitchen and it worked great! Got rid of 7 years worth of the previous owner's crud!

I have good results with borax. Make a paste with borax and white vinegar, let it sit for awhile (I let it sit until just as it starts to dry out) and scrub with a stiff bristle brush. I also use borax to clean tomato sauce and other stains from my plastic food containers, and in my laundry instead of bleach and as a stain spot pre-treater. Its great stuff.

I just did this before the home tour last month. Basically, I dumped bleach all over the floor, let it sit for an hour or so (open the windows!) and then wiped it up with a big towel. It didn't take much effort on my part (no real scrubbing) and I got to smell bleach (a favorite smell) for days!

Which reminds me: In our last house we painted the grout gray when we redid the bathroom. There is this special grout stuff that paints and seals at one time. I think there were only 5 or so colors, but it worked really well!

Do you have a link to this stuff? That is what I need! My upstairs bath has grey grout but the downstairs has white.
There are grout color changing pens either at home depot or menards. I work in construction and jsut used some on a clients floor. She had the tile put in and picked out the grout, she decided it was too light for the entry way, I went to menards and they had some. It worked great and it's easy to do. (I love working non traditional jobs!) Also they are fairly cheap.
I got a shark steam cleaner on Overstock in February and it made my grout look brand new again. I haven't done my whole floor yet because its LOUD and scares Jonas. But it worked awesome!
