When it comes to keeping our homes clean, there are some areas that can make us cringe just thinking about it. One of those hard-to-tackle areas is definitely the grout in our homes, especially in our bathrooms and kitchens. Because grout is usually made from sand particles, it's easy for dirt, dust, and grime to collect on its surface, leaving behind a trail of yuckiness. With our list of the Best Grout Cleaners and Accessories That Actually Work, you'll be able to find a cleaner and scrub brush to rid your grout of all that grime that's piled up over time. Our list features some of the best brands in the bathroom cleaning business like Mrs. Meyer's, method, and Seventh Generation.
Plus, we know there's more to your bathroom than just grout, so also check out our guide, 8 Easy Steps to a Clean Bathroom to get your routine locked down.

Keep in mind that cleaning grout can take some time (and definitely involves a lot of elbow grease). Many people use warm water and a rag to remove surface dirt before even busting out their cleaner and brush. If you need a rag for this pre-cleaning step, try one of our Microfiber Cleaning Cloths or shop all cleaning accessories on Grove.

Yes, bleach can actually do more damage to your grout than good. Why is that? Well, it's because the bleach can actually erode your grout over time with each use and can leave behind a film that attracts dirt. Bleach can and will make your grout look even dirtier than before you used it over time the more you use it. We are big advocates for no chlorine bleach — check out our article Don't do it!: Mixing bleach and vinegar for cleaning. If you're one to use bleach with your laundry, we suggest also taking a look at Ask an expert: What to know about non-chlorine or oxygen bleach.
