Grout annoys me!

I have almond tiles/grout in the kitchen and foyer. The previous owner NEVER cleaned it properly and now when I look at it (even though other people think it looks immaculate) I think.....ick! Dirty grout! I bleach it, I clean it....I HATE almond. Next house....when I can hopefully select it...I would never do it. Anyone one else have grout issues?!

They sell grout "pens" where you can color over your existing grout and kind of refresh it. I'm not sure if you could change the color from almond to something else (ie white)...

Thanks, but I think a project like that would truly make DH call me "anal" more than he already does! Ha ha!

I used to sell tile and I would always recommend gray grout to people ... it all turns gray in the end anyway!

Ihave white in my bathroom and every 6 months I use the bleach pens and scrub the grout lines white again. I hate it!

Grout is so gross. I found the best way to clean it is with a steam cleaner.

I hate grout! My whole house is tile.

What is the best way to keep my grout clean? If I use the pen - I"ll be there all dayChat Icon

I heard Mr. Clean Magic Eraser works on grout - Anyone ever try it?

I posted about this too!!! Grout is so annoying! The grout in my bathroom is NASTY!!! we just bought the place (its a co-op) and the woman who lived there was old so I guess she wasn't able to clean that well. The grout is all discolored and gross. I'm trying to fix it now!
