If the grout between your floor tiles becomes stained or dirty, you can easily make it look like new again.

Many stains are on the surface of the grout and can be removed with sandpaper. Just fold the sandpaper into a crease, and work it back and forth along the grout line (figure A). If sandpaper doesn't work, you may have better results by applying a pencil eraser.

Over time the grout between your kitchen-floor tiles will get dirty, but you can clean it without too much effort.

Figure A
If sandpaper or an eraser fails to remove the stains and dirt, try an over-the-counter grout cleaner -- or create a similar solution from household bleach and water. Squirt or pour the solution onto the grout (figure B), and scrub with a toothbrush (figure C). Make sure the area is well ventilated, and wear rubber or latex gloves when working with bleach.

Figure C

If bleach doesn't do the job, you may need to remove and replace the grout. Use a grout-removal tool or a rotary tool with a carbide tip (figure D). After you install new grout, seal it with a grout sealer (figure E) to reduce the likelihood of future stains setting in. Reapply sealer once every two years.

NO. you will get rid of the tiles first. Laying ceramic tiles over the vinyl will in basic terms carry approximately them cracking. while you're having a no longer undemanding time (been there, carried out that) removing the vinyl (linoleum), attempt utilising some warmth. be careful to no longer overheat the tiles, they can supply off smoke and gas you may no longer be respiratory. otherwise, proceed chipping away on the vinyl till you have all of it off. have confidence me, you do no longer desire to place the ceramic in basic terms to could pull it up THEN pull up the vinyl, THEN positioned all of it backpedal. a lot of wasted time and money. wish this helps.

First of all, you cant clean dirt, and second of all you use a crevis-tool attached to a high-powered vacuum-machine.
