"Hi I've found in the last is to use baking soda and 3% hydrogen peroxide, mix to a smooth but funny paste put it on the grout lines and leave for about 10 mins then scrub of, this isn't guaranteed mind, you can also buy bringing pens"

"You can get a towel called a grout rake. Then its elbow grease and take a small amount of the surface off. You can only do this once or twice before you need to Regrout. There are some chemical cleaners but im not aware of any tgat work well"

"Probably a scraper is the best tool to get it off if you find other solution does not really work well."

"You would be better off scraping up the existing grout and installing new. In my experience the existing grout just cracks and damages when trying to clean"

"You can try beach but it may be just a quick cheaper fix . Grout cleaner is another option .
But it all depends how deep the problem goes into the grout"
