The 13 Best Tile & Grout Cleaners of 2024, Tested and Reviewed
Even if you wipe the countertops and mop the floors, dirty grout and stained tiles can keep your home from feeling sparkling clean. Luckily, tile and grout cleaners can fix discolored grout and make your tiles look brand new, whether it's your kitchen backsplash or shower walls.
To find the best tile and grout cleaners, we tested 27 solutions and five brushes in our Des Moines lab, evaluating each on effectiveness, scent, ease of use, and value. We also spoke with Melissa Maker, founder of Clean My Space, for her expert insight on clearing stubborn residue from your tile and grout lines.

It’s versatile for doors, sinks, and more.

The initial spray can cause a mess.
Of all the tile and grout cleaners we tested, this option from Better Life won our top spot thanks to its effectiveness, ease of use, and versatility, among other features. You can use it on various surfaces including tile, showers, sinks, and toilets, and it comes in a two-pack so you can get plenty of use out of your purchase.
When we tried this cleaner, it removed stains with impressive speed and required minimal scrubbing. The solution's foaming spray releases from a spray top that's direct, simple to use, and releases an ample amount of product. While this is a scented solution, the fragrance of tea tree and eucalyptus is calming and doesn’t overpower a room. We also love that the cleaner is formulated primarily with plant-based ingredients, unlike many other options on the market.
One downside with this pick is that the initial spraying can cause a slight mess. Still, this is a fantastic option for tidying up tile, grout, and so much more.
Type: Spray | Size: 32 ounces | Scent: Tea tree & eucalyptus | Surfaces: Toilets, sinks, doors, tile, showers, grout
