Many of us used to use Grot Buster to clean grout, but in their wisdom Domestos decided to stop making and selling it - I actually contacted them about this but they claimed it didn't sell well..
So, my question is what do you use now to clean grout ?
I know HG make a cleaner but it has mixed reviews from what I've seen - any thoughts ?
Also, is a grout sealer worth using after cleaning - I've never bothered in the past, but this is my shower I'm talking about, and raking out and replacing grout is not a favourite job, and even less so if I'm not being paid to do it !

Re: Post Grot Buster grout cleaner..?
If it's mould that's the problem then any of the proprietary mould sprays will do... However very often the grout gets discoloured (in showers from using coloured soap, I find a 50/50 mix of bleach and water applied with an old toothbrush works well, and it's cheap.
