I’ve come to a point in my relationship with my bathroom grout where we just don’t talk about our problems anymore. And the problems are bad. The grout on my walls is alternatively pink or dark black. (The original color was white.) It’s so dirty that when my landlord came to fix my faucet recently, she suggested a grout cleaner to help. That’s how you know you’ve hit an all-time low: when people are offering you advice on how to fix your issues unprompted.
Grout seems to be one of those things that people often neglect until it gets to a sorry state. The hassle of cleaning it is also compounded by the fact that not every grout cleaner is effective. A few months ago, I tried a grout cleaner I had randomly plucked off the shelf of Home Depot and it did next to nothing. After several rounds of scrubbing, the grout still remained as pink as ever.
