How can I get vegetable oil stains off the grout on my ceramic tiled kitchen floor?

Due to a near miss with our deep fat fryer this afternoon, the grout between the tiles on my kitchen floor is very dark where the hot oil spillage has stained it I have scrubbed and scrubbed, cilit bang first, then fairy liquid in very hot water but it isn't shifting. Does anyone know of a product or an old fashioned tip that can get the grout looking back to normal?

Not sure if it will work, but try pouring corn starch straight out of the box onto the spot and let it sit for a while. Aslo try the hardware store, maybe they can recommend something like a concrete cleaner or may be a type of grout cleaner. You could try a pool service, call and ask them if they know a solution.How can I get vegetable oil stains off the grout on my ceramic tiled kitchen floor?
I know Pour N Restore would work, but I'm not sure you could live with it in the house......it's a liquid that goes on, soaks down, dries and you broom it away. Takes days to work though.





Also try this website, find a phone number and give them a call: www.actcleaners.com They are American Cleaning Technology......and make some real neat stuff that is safe.
Get rid of the grouted floor first of all. Then get a new %26amp; better kitchen floor that doesn't have that crappy grout from the 1900's. Finally be careful with HOT OIL in a kitchen.





IDK what my kitchen floor is made of. I didn't think any 1 used grout anymore. Who would WANT to clean that crap?
You can crush a bit of cat litter, baking soda or sand into the area and allow it to soak up all of the excess oil overnight. Vacuum up the mess. Then give it a quick scrub with a bit of dish washing detergent and water on a tooth brush to get deep down and wipe away with damp rag.
youll need a shop vac to start to clean up this mess .depending on how much of the floor was effect youll need to boil enough water to cover the area very wet add dawn dish liqiud to the water after it has boiled .slowely and carefully as to not get burned pou it on the area and let sit for a few scrub with a brush when not too hot but not cold .vacuum up .if your grout wasnt sealed properly you may never get it out .repeat if you need to .if you do get it out sped a day and a few bucks and reseal the grout ...twice....
Neat bleach good old domestos every time. Give it a couple of hours to eat the oil then it will come up new.
