I had tile in my kitchen in California. Never again! Cleaning the grout wasn't that bad since it was a medium brown but I have a tendency to stand for hours in the kitchen when I'm into serious cooking. I'd barely be able to walk when I was done because of standing on that hard floor.

Some things I've found that work well on grout -- Oxyclean (is there anything that product won't clean?) and the white sponges like Mr. Clean's Erasers. I used to get a small bucket of Oxy (made it heavy on the Oxy), put it one with a scrub brush. Let it dry and then cut the white sponges into strips and use that for final cleaning. It worked wonders on the kitchen counters, especially if something like blood had leaked and I didn't notice it right away.
