As with all household chores, the responsible home owner will want to know how often they should clean their grout. Grout cleaning, unfortunately, is not like other chores in that you cannot put it on a schedule. It just needs to be done as often as it needs to be done. You will find that your mold and mildew problems are worse when the weather I humid or when it is warm, so you will have to clean more often after those types of conditions. The grout will also get dirtier the more the shower or tile floor is used. So you will need to clean the grout in your personal bathroom more often than in your guest bathroom. But there are no hard and fast rules.

Something important to keep in mind when you are thinking about scheduling your grout cleaning activities is that if you only clean your grout periodically, each time it will take several hours to do the job right. There is an alternative if you are willing. If you spend just a few minutes everyday when you are in the shower and about an hour each weekend working on cleaning your grout, you will never have to rent heavy equipment or spend entire days with this task. Just schedule in an extra five minutes for your morning shower and spec it cleaning a section of your shower grout. Then repeat the circuit over and over again. That way no one section will have more than five or six days between cleanings and you will not have a problem with dirty or stained grout.

Then on the weekend you can work on the grout in other areas of your bathroom. The shower is definitely where you will have your most problems so that is why it is important to keep up with it every day. The rest of the tile floors can go longer in between cleanings. Just do half of your bathroom every weekend and then no section will ever go more than two weeks without cleaning.
