Any recommendations for a grouting cleaning product? There's quite a build up of dark stuff. Tried a few regular bathroom tile cleaner & doesnt shift it.
cheers

Did the same (orrible) job a couple of weeks ago. Domestos Grot Buster did the trick.

Erm..... Squeeze it out of the bottle onto the grout, scrub a bit and wash off.

Yep, that should cover it.

Just ordinary household bleach and a nail brush did it for me.

Get a grout pen, so much easier.

Get cheap 75p bottle of bleach from Tesco/Sainsbury/Morrisons etc. Tip whole bottle over wall. Brush in with 99p washing up brush. Leave for 2 hours. Shower off.

The "leave for 2 hours" is the critical bit - you can't really clean it off, the bleach has to soak in and kill the mould. For that reason it's better to do it when the shower's dry. The Domestos grot stuff is good as it clings on better than thin bleach.
