I came home tonight and my cats had knocked a bottle of red wine from the top of my fridge onto my ceramic tile floor. I'm really worried about the grout because I rent. I got down and scrubbed it with Clorox OxiMagic but it still looks very dingy. Does anyone know of a better way to clean it?
Thanks!

If it is white grout, the stain will come out with a product called Clorox Clean-Up. Just spray, wait a few minutes, and it should just disappear. Scrub a little if necessary, although it shouldn't be, then rinse with a wet rag. This product contains bleach, so as always with bleach products, wear gloves and have good ventilation.

Grout is very porous and quickly absorbs liquids spilled on it, especially if it has not been sealed on a routine basis. About the only way to fix it is to scrape out the old grout and regrout and seal it with a good sealer. It might be a good time to seal the rest of the floor. The grout in a floor should be sealed every year or so. This is because walking on it and cleaning it will remove the sealer. It is reasonably inexpensive so get a good one.
You might consider telling your landlord/lady about it and what you plan to do before you do it. They may have something to say about it, which could lead to problems for you if they are not told first.

Easy Off Bam will get rid of it. It is sold a any grocery store and comes in a purple bottle that is shaped like toliet bowl cleaner. You just squirt some on and wait 5 minutes and the stain is gone. It has helped me many times!

Try the clorox bleach pen. Just keep treating it daily until the stain disappears. Be careful though if you leave it on too long it can eat away at the grout.

What everybody else suggested is solid, yet once you get it sparkling, do no longer forget approximately to seal it so as that it's going to no longer be so difficult to bathe the subsequent time. you need to purchase solid grout sealer at a house or tile save, yet it particularly is costly. Aquamix and Tile Labs are 2 kind names -- in spite of you do, do no longer purchase the sealer this is provided in a twig can; it's going to make you unwell in case you breath it in.

Get a squirt bottle with bleach and water and squirt it directly in the grout lines and leave it there for a little while.

lay down a cloth or even a wad of toilet paper over the area which is stained and pour bleach on it. Leave it there until the stain disappears.

Have you tried straight bleach?
