We found that Mr. Cleans Magic Eraser does a good job.

Try one of those bleach pens like chlorox. I purchased one of those grout whitening products when i was at Lowe's in the US. They seem to work really well. THey may have them locally as well.

[frugalman]

are these bleach pens avail in walmart let's say?
mr. clean erasers, interesting.. i can try that

[moffatt]

i should think the bleach pens are available at walmart. I bought mine at superstore, and ive seen them at zellers.

Water and Javex with a mop then over it again with water.

The trick is time.

Get a good cleaner and soak the grout for 12 hours. Then, use a Dremel tool with brush head to brush it white.

The cleaner @ my condo does this once every 2 years. Grout between tiles in high traffic areas (between the elevator & the garage) turn from black to white after 2 days of work.

Frugalman,

We use Easy Off BAM, tile cleaner. They make a few pruducts and one is specfically made for grime and grout. It does an incredible job.

I also used the bleach pen, it did an okay job, but not great. Some areas worked better than others. Keep in mind the grout will be white afterwards if it wasn't white before.

The Mr Clean Eraser has cleaned everything we've thrown at it. It's the only thing we've found to take crayon off of walls.

It should take the dark spots out, I had a buddy of mine who had white grout and of course over time it got dirty. He went to sell the house, cleaned the grout and it came out looking brand new. He was the one who recommended I try it, I did and he was right.
