Grout absorbs dirt. Tiles don’t — until we scrub them like they do.
Aggressive scrubbing wears down tile glaze, creating tiny scratches that trap dirt and make stains return faster. At the same time, it pushes grime deeper into grout instead of removing it.
That’s why grout keeps getting darker over time.
The better approach is breaking down grime at the source — not fighting it with force.
