Tile grout poses its own difficulties. The porous nature of grout means cleaning solutions pass through without a thought of taking the stain with them. When that dreaded spill happens, clean immediately. The longer a spill sets the better chance of it staining. Mix a 50/50 solution of hydrogen peroxide to water in a spray bottle. Spray the stain and allow to set 30 minutes. Retreat if needed. Do not use peroxide on colored grout. It's bleach and will take the color out of the grout.

 

Club soda will also help remove the stain if poured on immediately. Shaving cream does a good job. Spray on and allow to set 30 minutes. Tile stores carry a chalk like stick that is safe for any color grout. Drag it across the stain and remove after an hour or so. Reapply if necessary.

 

Keep a good sealant on the tiles and especially the grout. You'll find good sealants at tile stores.

I have spent many hours with bleach and a scrub brush on mine.

 

The worse problem I have is the orange dirt getting on mine, almost impossible to get it out.
