    G'day All.
    Thanks for the replies. The missus is a bit worried that the White King/Domestos will remove the actual grout rather than the dirt in the grout.

    I think it is time to try it and see.
    Bloody tile supplier is no help at all.
    He told her to scrub it with a tooth brush along with soapy water.
    I can really see me on all fours for a whole weekend with toothbrush in hand :eek:

    Hooroo.
    Regards, Trevor

    Bleach doesn't remove dirt or grim - it bleaches it so you can't see it. Some oils etc will dissolve and release the trapped dirt etc, but basicly it kills and turns white any nasties.

    Enjo have a mild abrasive paste (marble paste) that SWMBO and I used on our tiles and grout .... lots of elbow grease but clean tiles and grout. (when we bought the place we thought the grout was black, then we looked in the pantry and saw white :eek: ).

    I also tried the acid cleaner sold by the tile places - much easier but much less effective, more for removing grout from tile surfaces.

    Perhaps the answer is some u-beaut tripoli powder, a bucket of water, a small scrubbing brush (tooth brush) and elbow grease.
