Question Grout Cleaners

After mopping the floor a dozen times I noticed that the grout was looking awful. I bleached it and it did not help. I then bought some Kaboom floor cleaner and that too did not help. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I like to clean my grout (wait, I don't LIKE to clean my grout, I mean I USE) with Lysol mold and mildew shower cleaner and a stiff scrub brush. I have tiles in the kitchen on the floor and counters, and in the entryway and I HATE it! So time consuming!

You can seal grout. You can do just the lines or the tiles too. It's on my to-do list. I plan to clean up any discoloration w/ a wire brush, very carefully of course, and seal everything.

Liquid Dishwasher detergent. Like Cascade.

I used to use that to get koolaid stains off the counter. Pour a little on the spot, let it sit for a minute and scrub with a toothbrush or another type of brush.

This is for the kids' bathroom floor. Their grimy little feet have made it dirty.
