The light shaded sanded grout I installed have on my kitchen and bathroom is a bear to keep clean. I sealed it when I installed it. The only thing that cleans it is a " grout eraser", which does an excellent job, but is very time consuming. I've sealed it again after this type of cleaning and it still gets dirty. What else can I do?

Oxy cleaner is very good for this. the first time, you might have to use a very strong solution. If it's VERY bad, you can make a paste of the oxy powder and apply it to the grout, and let it dry, then vaccum it up. But after that, you can just wash the floor once a week with an oxy cleaner.
After you get the grout really clean, I recommend sealing it. it's very easy to do... wipe the sealer on, wait five-ten minutes, and then wipe it off.

nothing really you already sealed it there is a wash you can use its at your local hardware store forgot the name you could try a bleach pen by Tide that works but no matter what ya done its gonna be time consuming that's why my grout is dark in color just for that reason

Your sealer isn't doing its job. I have lots of floor tile with light colored grout, and the sealer has kept it from getting stained or dirty. Make sure the sealer is formulated for your type of grout.

Get some Lysol Bathroom cleaner. Spray it on there once a week, let it set a while, then rinse it off. Simple as pie.

take a small file and file down a layer each time, that will keep it clean, use bleach
