Is there anything that you would recommend using to get stains out of tile grout?

Asked by Jude (32198points) April 4th, 2009

I looked online and found quite a few suggestions. I thought that I might check here, though, to see if anyone had any success using a particular product or method. It’s the bathroom tile and there’s a rather dark stain (pet accident). Brand new bathroom tile, btw. =/

Borax will get stains out of anything. Make it into a paste and rub it in leave for a few seconds/minutes dependings the stain , then wipe off .

Mr. Clean has this sponge type thing called a Magic Eraser. I use it with a little bleach and it works well.

@jmah ; I would try the others first too, especially if it’s brand new :-)

We’ve used a mix of vinegar and water and that seems to work pretty.

Just did this last summer: Soft Scrub. Use a brush to apply, let sit for as long as you think it needs (maybe an hour for really bad stains), then remove with warm water.
