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

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
