In showers, it may also develop black marks caused by mould and mildew. The best way to clean grout is to start with a gentle method first, then use a stronger cleaner only if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><br><\/strong>For light dirt, clean bathroom grout with warm water and a grout brush. For tougher stains, use a paste made from baking soda and hydrogen peroxide. For deep discolouration, use an oxygen bleach cleaner. If the grout is cracked, crumbling, or still looks poor after repeated cleaning, regrouting may be the better long-term solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"820\" height=\"490\" src=\"https:\/\/www.emop.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1743\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.emop.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/image.png 820w, https:\/\/www.emop.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/image-500x299.png 500w, https:\/\/www.emop.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/image-768x459.png 768w, https:\/\/www.emop.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/image-600x359.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What to Avoid Before Cleaning Grout<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before cleaning grout, avoid using overly harsh or acidic products on cement-based grout, especially if it is unsealed.
