I think you can buy grout cleaner Pinky but a friend of mine swore by whitening toothpaste applied with an old toothbrush which she left on for a couple of hours before cleaning it off
People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right, the only difference is they're wrong
Its a bugger to clean @pinky, and takes a lot of scrubbing
As an alternative you can buy grout pens that basically cover the grout. That is probably very time consuming though. I did mine once with a small stiff brush and scrubbed like mad. It took yonks but did work
I keep on top of them now with a steamer every couple of months
I get one or two small patches of black mold on the grouting occasionally in the bathroom, I use neat bleach applied with an old tooth brush. Works well and it's a long time before it wants doing again. Sounds like your grouting may need replacing Pinky, which is not an easy job!

Whitening toothpaste is what I was going to recommend. It works. You can also buy grout pens from Homebase, B&Q etc to put on after cleaning to bring it up even whiter.
I never had this issue in my old house. The grouting was always white, very clean but as I moved into this other house they were yellow. The previous tenant was filthy.
I have cleaned and cleaned them but still can't get them as I would like.
It's the bathroom and kitchen tiles. Now I've got the bathroom ones pretty good but not perfect.
In the kitchen it's harder especially around the cooker area where there are electric sockets so got to be very careful there.
Diamond Diva I will try the whitening toothpaste and see if that helps.
Thank you everyone for your help, much appreciated.
I had a similar problem with my bathroom tile grout when I moved here, I tried everything but nothing worked I even tried raking it out but it was rock hard and wouldn't budge. When I was refitting the bathroom the designer he said they'd been put up with the combined adhesive and grout which explained why the grout was so hard, needless to say I ensured the new tiles were done with traditional grout
