Golfnut, with three schnauzers in L.A., I have lots of tile throughout the house. Next time I do it, I'll try to make the grout lines a lot thinner between tiles to see if that works. But in the meantime, the best product I've used is Soft Scrub with Bleach and use a brush on a handle to clean the grout. It seems to work real well and doesn't cause the grout to break up, as it does with straight bleach.

Sounds a little like overkill, but the dogs are very dirty and I hate nothing more than dirty looking grout. There also is a product I've seen in designer mags that is a grout color changer thingy, so you can sort of dye it a darker color after its been laid down. I've never used it but always thought it was a good idea.

P.S. Loving your house. Thanks for renting to me.... Kath
