I bought a product called "Zud." It is like Comet, but WAY better . . .
a realtor friend recommended it for cleaning bathrooms, chrome, etc.
before selling the house. I put some on my grout, and rubbed it with a
rough sponge a bit, and it came up!
I couldn't find this at WalMart or Target or Home Depot, but found it
at smaller True Value stores.
Good luck!

Try peroxide - either diluted or straight.

bathroom floors are 16" tiles, I believe the original color was a dark
beige, that has darkened over time. I've tried bleach, steam cleaning,
grout cleaners & Mr. Clean erasers with no luck. I don't want to
regrout it but I'm tempted to add a thin layer of non-sanded grout over
the top, just enough to freshen the color, but not sure it would
adhere. Also considered brushing a light stain on the grout, do you
think it would penetrate enough to change the color? My son paid $600
to have their grout cleaned and was pleased with the results - but I
can think of a lot better uses for $600.
