I’ve come to a point in my relationship with my bathroom grout where I just don’t talk about my problems anymore. And the problems are big. The grout on my walls is either 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. 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 compounded by the fact that not every grout cleaner is effective. A few months ago, I tried a grout cleaner I randomly plucked off the shelf at Home Depot, and it did next to nothing. After several rounds of scrubbing, the grout remained as pink as ever.
That’s what prompted some of us at Consumer Reports to uncover products that will actually remove dirt and grime. To find the best grout cleaners out there, we evaluated seven of them, including recommendations from our social media users.
