Anyone got any suggestions about which products to get ?
I want to clean up the grout in a bathroom, have about 25sq mtr of ceramic tiles to do on walls and floor and want to try to keep it clean after with a sealer.
I've not used either a cleaner or sealer before so any hints would also be much appreciated too !
Thanks,
Steve

To clean either use a 50/50 mix of household bleach and water, apply with an old toothbrush, leave for 20 mins or so then rinse ...

or use this stuff (Top of the list )

As for sealer.. :dunno:

Thanks for that suggestion wine~o.
I might give it a try - I have seen a thread on here suggesting Domestos Grot Buster for the cleaning which seems to be a thick bleach gel - this appeals as it seems it will stay in place more than diluted bleach but maybe I am just falling for the idea and will end up paying more for the same result.. Got to say that anything that doesn't smell like bleach will suit me as I hate the smell of the stuff...!
