Gather the following items -
Bucket
Hot (and I mean *hot) Water
Clorox Clean Up
Bleach
Soft Scrub (with bleach)
Scrub Brush
Fill the bucket up with bleach hot water and a dash of soft scrub.
Make sure you have swept/vacuumed the area so that it's free of all the topical dirt.
Then Wet the scrub brush in the bleach/water combination, squirt some soft scrub and clorox clean up on the floor and scrub with the scrub brush. Scrub the entire floor, rinse with reallly hot water again and let air dry.
A test to see if your floors are clean, wet a paper towel and rub it on an area, it it comes up white you know it's clean, if it comes up black it's still dirty.

OK, my best way requires a small investment (about 100.00)
but I'm here to tell you it's without doubt THE best way. At
Lowe's you can purchase a Shark Steamer that has floor
attachment with microfiber pad. Sadly, for many years I did the bucket/scrub routine, and it does work. But the job this
little steamer does is phenomenal. Also consider that the only thing you put into it is water - yep, that's it. I have a large
house with lots of tile. Last Saturday I cleaned it all in about
30 minutes. I couldn't have done just my kitchen in that time on my knees. And this thing comes with several attachments, so you can clean just about any solid surface with it. I've used it in my showers on the tile, bathtubs, long expanse of kitchen counter top, etc etc etc. My sister gave me the tip on this (may she reign forever!!!), and today I went
with my daughter to Lowe's to get hers. --Can you tell I'm totally "sold"? As much as I love ceramic tile, I REALLY love it now.

Soft scrub gel bleach without a doubt. I take a bucket of warm water, a toothbrush, and the soft scrub. I just squeeze it out on every line of grout, doing a few tiles at a time. You rub it in there good, let it sit for 2 mintues, then scrub it with the toothbrush. Then you take a washcloth and wipe off excess with the water. It is time consuming if you have a lot of tiles, but I have turned dark brown grout to almost perfect white with it. I do it every few months and they look brand new.

some moulds are resiatant to bleach and are better treated with a fungicide/mould treatment.
a good brand in ol' blighty is Hagesan.
