Ive had a unit become vacate recently. Looks like its time for a freshen up. I'm going to repaint and replace the vanity but the whole unit is tiled and the grout is noticeably black compared to the white tiles. Does anyone know of a quick and cheap way of cleaning them?

reck and re do it..
white grout isnt that expensive...
once you re grout it
you may want to use this:
http://www.bunnings.com.au/sealant-shower-plug-220ml-can_p1585225
it works two ways:
if you scratch waterproofing stuff , this stuff reseals it
plus being an old bathroom, it is a good idea to reseal it again...
every time i buy old IP, i get handyman to use this stuff on all wet areas before tenant moves in.

I came across a product a few years ago called Grout Perfect. It's a sort of grout resurfacer. Much longer wearing than a grout pen and comes in a selection of colours. You also don't need to remove the existing grout which is very time consuming.
If you're planning to hold on to the property and continue to rent out, then perhaps match your grout colour to the tile colour. This will give you a more continuous look (not criss-cross like you get with contrasting grout and tile colours) which is more modern and more practical (unless the floor tiles are white!).
Here's their website - they have a video which shows how to apply the product. Have recommended to a number of my clients as it is a fairly inexpensive way to tidy up tiled areas. http://www.groutperfect.net.au/
Hope that helps.
