Shower Grout Cleaning

Hi A.-- It's been a while since I have cleaned grout and I know it can get pretty nasty.
It sounds like it's spotty and that could mean mold spots.
I would try X-14 extra strength if possible. It's strong so turn on the fan and maybe wear a mask. Let it sit a while then go back and scrub. You'll be surprised at how very little scrubbing you'll have to do.

This is the product I used long ago from Home Depot. (For my kitchen) Unfortunately, it has been so long I don't remember the exact name. However, I do remember finding it in aisle where they sell tile, grout and tiling tools etc. It was in a yellow/gold mustardy color bottle and it was specifically for cleaning grout.

Also, my new favorite product is EASY OFF BAM - It's the best for clearing up hard water spots on glass or anythihg for that matter

Hope this helps!

If a product called CLR doesn't do the trick, nothing will!! If it doesn't work, I would go ahead and regrout. I am dealing with the same issue...

I recently tried Easy Off Bam. It does work quite well however it is very strong and you need to be in a well ventalated room when you use it and don't apply with out cleaning gloves. I applied the solution to the grout with an old toothbrush and let it sit for about 15 minutes and then I went back in a scrubbed the areas. I would say it got 90% of the stains clean...the others I am sure would have come off if I would have repeated the step again.

I know what you mean. I was so frustrated with just certain spots that I called a company called the Grout Doctor. They came out to give me an estimate. They can't do just a couple of areas, they have to regrout the whole shower. I'm not sure why. They quoted my small shower $350. So... I went to Home Depot and quizzed some guy on how to regrout it myself. It is a nasty job, but it saved me $350 and my grout came out just fine.
