Grout is porous, so it's one of the first things in your bathroom to show dirt, especially in the shower. Grab yourself a grout pen. They are cheap and a quick and easy tool to transform those gross and yellow grout patches to the sparkling ice white they used to be. Just re-trace your current grout and it will look as good as new.
2 : RE-SEAL AROUND THE BATH AND SHOWER
Sealant can easily take on black mould patches, especially in the shower. Whilst you can get rid of them, they can easily return or take way too much scrub power.
