am curious as to what people are going to put here as my bathroom tile grout looked a bit dingy so I got one of those pens, biggest load of rubbish ever. more dripped down my sleeve than went on the walls
There's a good Mould + Mildew Remover by Dettol that works well, but the fumes are a bit toxic x
Bleach the grout, leave it 24hrs, then attack it with a stiff nail brush. Obviously, wear gloves, goggles & old clothes.

Pens are hopless 4get and take ages. Its just normal discolouration over time.
yer they arent dirty just discoloured
I've just ordered this:

Looks lethal enough lol

:)

too lethal for me. I;m banned from superglue in my household, he aint ever gonna let me go near that
A nailbrush smeared in that gritty whitening toothpaste is effective, hard work though.
I just spray some bleach solution (1/3 bleach, 2/3 water, mixed in one of those plant spray bottles) onto mine, then rinse off after an hour... lovely white grout again ! If the grout is really badly stained, I find scrubbing it gently with an old toothbrush removes the discolouration.
Juggerling. I suggested that earlier but only got 1 star..sigh..
I know carrust... I did see that,,, but since it was the method I also used, I thought I'd add my 2p !!!
I can recommend this stuff

It was hassle free and brought the grout up like new. You could find it in other places other than wilko, its just that I bought it from them. wouldn't recommend using a bleach solution as it will eat through the grout eventually.

i've been using a bleach solution for years, and sometimes neat bleach and an old toothbrush, and it's not eaten through any grout yet. certainly keeps it looking sparkling white though.
