A tiler told me to always dry the tiles after the shower. To clean use a toothbrush with a solution of bleach and milk. Bleach will make the grout go yellow that it why you add the milk.

Grout between tiles should be periodically sealed. You paint the sealer on and let it dry. It's water-proof, so the shower shouldn't affect the grout. Although the products give up to a five year protection date, I'd apply the sealer about every three years.

good luck

Buy a 'spray cleaner with bleach' (Flash or Morrison's and ASDA etc all have their own brands) Spray the tiles around the bath and shower area once a week leave a few minutes and rinse ( if it is very heavily stained you may need to use a solution of bleach and a toothbrush and some elbow grease and then as above to keep it looking good)

in some circumstances the Grout will become completely discolored, while this happens it particularly is mandatory to apply a grout stain, ( merely like concrete stain ), beforehand of sealing the grout. the only problem with lots of the grout sealers is their undesirable overall performance around any products containing milk fat ( which comprise milk or goodies etc.) the superb answer for kitchens ( exceptionally counter tops ) is to us Epoxy grout. it particularly is not as radical because it sounds and is extremely undemanding to place in. I particularly have used it as a expert contractor on distinctive events with dazzling result.

tiles in an area with a lot of traffic will always get dirty. unfortunately the only way to clean it is to use tile cleaner or simple detergent in water. use sponge for better cleaning. though you can use mop too but not as clean. in T/B grouts turn black because it is constantly wet and. use can use clorox diluted in water and little detergent then sponge off. it will grow back of course! unless you provide good ventilation

yes, dry the tiles after showering otherwise they can get mould on them after a while. Also if they do need whitening, either use bicarbonate of soda or toothpaste on an old toothbrush and scrub away!

Although cleaning it with bleach on a toothbrush will helpl a little, why not scrape it out with a metal nail or spike and spend a Saturday afternoon regrouting. Maybe use a different colour than white.

dry it after the shower or buy some shower shine type product from your local supermarket. If all else fails, a toothbrush with a little bleach and get scrubbing.
