    Our bathroom was recently renovated too! Might give the vinegar a try first, and if not try Godfreys.

    We made the mistake of getting our son some bath crayons. He thinks they are great, but we are finding it a nightmare to get off the tile grout. Has anyone else had this problem? What on earth should I use to get the green, red and brown colours off the grout? It looks like we are growing a wonderful assortment of colourful mould in our nice clean bathroom, lol!

    I just use bleach in a spray bottle with a grout brush, scrub then mop away the bleach.

    I purchased a little spray bottle at the Flemington Market last time I went. It's called Tile Magic by the The Grout Doktor. It's great.
    If you google The Grout Doktor (yep, with a 'k') the page should come up. They have a money back guarantee.
    Otherwise, the vinegar.

    I have always used bleach - but I am a useless housewife lol - I think I might try vinegar next time and see how I go

    Thanks ladies. I might avoid the bleach if I can while pregnant, but I'll give the vinegar a go I'm guessing you can just use any old "cheap" vinegar? Rather than the more expensive nice bottles of white vinegar and malt vinegar we have in our pantry? Hehe.

    Isn't vinegar supposed to eat away at grout and a big "no no"? I thought you could use vinegar everywhere else in the bathroom but only baking soda paste on grout?
