Default Tile & grout cleaner

A while back there was a discussion on cleaning grout. Someone had posted a before and after pic of the floor she had cleaned along worth the recipe. I thought I had it saved, but now that I really need it, I can't find it. Can someone help me please?

I used to get on my hands and knees to clean the grout of my kitchen floor. Now I have a steamer, mind you, it is an industrial steamer, and pricey; but if clean grout is your thing, and you can't beat it. I think every house cleaning service should have this steamer. It really cleans!

Make a paste with oxyclean and hot water. Put it on the grout and leave on a few minutes, then lightly scrub with a brush. I used this on my kitchen grout and it was amazing with how clean it got.

Morning All,

1964 we bought a house that had 6 children living there. We had 3 and added 2 more during our stay. When we put it up for sale I used shoe whiteing once over in all the grout seams. The people that bought the house asked if we had put in a new bathroom. BTW, we had 4 little boys and you know how that goes!
My recommendation is baby/nurses shoe whiteing.

I heard that CocaCola does it. It has to be the brand name I am not a soda drinker so I forget to buy it to try it .
