Wayne hrRg are you nuts!
NEVER add acetic acid to a chlorinated bleach!
you'll oxidise the acetate and release Chlorine gas from the bleach! are you trying to kill someone?

Read the answers they will all work but most are short term as they erode the grout opening up the surface allowing the grime to return in a shorter timespan.
Nothing better though than doing the job the way it should be done. Set some time aside a square metre will take you about 30 mins. Buy a grout ripping tool from and hardware chain. Scrape the grout out to half of its original depth. Regrout with clean grout the best you can find. There are some that resist staining better than others. Its hard work but very satisfying.
Hope this helps

I tile on a daily basis of my life, and in some degree your Q pertains to what you're speaking approximately cleansing. If that is purely cleansing soap scum, then sparkling bathe facilitates. If that is abuild up of minerals, (Which should not be allowed besides) then tilex could help. If that is mildew (which additionally should not be allowed, then a bleach answer will help. The concept this type of advantageous form of brush aside is the warmth and humidity in a bathing room. for sure maximum bathe with the door closed, yet without a vent fan, or establishing the door in some unspecified time sooner or later to permit venting/drying, you're inviting each little thing to attack the grout. i'm not suggesting which you would be able to desire to towel dry the bathe after each use, despite the fact that it is going to be allowed to relax and dry for sure a minimum of, and with popular upkeep (Which a bathing room needs no be counted) you are able to decrease or elimnate maximum any project. My ex has a extensive grasp bathe stall. I did all of it in white 4 x 4's with white grout. She makes use of basically sparkling bathe, and in 15 years has in no way had a controversy, with popular upkeep. Steven Wolf purely my 2 "experience" BTW, if the grout replaced into particular to water invasion then sealing is a waste of $$$ and time

Spray with bleach first, let sit to get rid of mold. If still stained, the Mr Clean Magic Eraser will work. Get the heavy duty one.

Bleach spray gives the best results, in my experience. You can either buy one, or dilute some regular bleach about 50/50 and decant into a spray bottle. Spray, leave for an hour or so, then rinse it off.

As long as its white, neat bleach. Apply with a small paintbrush and leave for 24 hours. Make sure you do it with the window open though - horrid smell.

I swear by white shoe polish. It is easy, no mess, or harmful chemical smells. Plus you just have the little tube, with the sponge on top, so no messy stuff.
