Why grout gets dark
Grout is porous. Every mopping pushes a little dirty water and detergent into it, and over time the lines darken and trap bacteria. Scrubbing by hand rarely reaches the bottom of the grout line.

Questions about tile & grout cleaning
How often should tile and grout be professionally cleaned?
Once or twice a year for most homes, with regular weekly cleaning in between to prevent buildup.
Why is my grout still dirty after I mop?
Mopping leaves dirt and detergent residue in the grout lines. Professional cleaning removes that residue instead of spreading it around.
