Cleaning grout on bathroom floor that has ceramic tile?

Well I had my guest bathroom done a couple years ago with ceramic tile on the floors, but the grout lines are dirty. I have tried my steamer and it didn't do much. I am not going to rip all the grout out and redo it I just want to know any ideas, been watching videos on YouTube but they seem idiotic. Any professionals out there with ideas.

Also I wouldn't mind changing it to a darker color, thanks for help.

    Changing it is easy but a bit time consuming.. You can easily stain the grout with a grout stain. Just takes time.

    Go to your local tile dealer and get a stain.

    If you want to try and scrub it clean,some local carpet cleaners also now do grout cleaning..

    Or you can try a baking soda/hydrogen peroxide paste and scrub..There is a chance of taking the color from the grout so test a small hidden area first. And do not get the paste on cloth ...GL

    After 16 years our kitchen tile grout finally needed cleaning. We hired a local carpet cleaning company that also did tile and grout cleaning. They came in and used their equipment to clean the tile and grout. When they were finished it looked brand new. The cost only $125. It was well worth the money.

    Wire brush, and then seal them with tile grout sealer.
