Val You can buy pens from diy shops that you go over the grout with. They come in different colours depending what colour your grout is Jeanette x

Claire I went to get one for my bathroom - white grout. Didn't realise they came in colours and when I got home I'd picked up black! White ones seem to be quite hard to come by. Jeanette x

Denture cleaning tablets made into a paste are supposed to be effective (bleaching properties) but have never tried it myself. Sioux

As Diane said toothpaste a friend of mine uses it she said it is messy but it work, I would be careful with bleach it can go yellowish after a while? Debs.
