If the grout can not be cleaned the grout should be removed and the entire wall or floor re-grouted (this could be a tough job and may not be a great warm up for your work out!)

• Make sure area is dry and clean

Not bad huh? As long as you ventilate the bathroom well you shouldn’t even feel the burn! Well, no burn in your eyes at least! Your arms on the other hand, well they may be sore. If you are ambitious enough to complete this all in one Saturday morning, then treat yourself to some new bath towels or a few accessories. It’s no different than treating myself to a new pair of 7 Jeans when I get to my ideal physical shape! Heck, maybe I’ll add a great pair of black stiletto boots too!
