Here are some ways to clean grout:

Cover the grout with baking soda after moistening
it with hydrogen peroxide. Let it sit for about
30 seconds, then scrub the grout with a brush

Hydrogen peroxide
Apply hydrogen peroxide to the grout in sections
and scrub with a brush. The bubbling action will
help loosen dirt.

White vinegar

and wipe with a cloth. The acidity of vinegar can cut
through dirt and grim

DIY grout cleaner
Mix 3/4 cup baking soda, 1/4 cup hydrogen peroxide,
and 1 tablespoon of mild dish soap to form a paste.
Apply the paste to the grout with a brush and scrub.

Steam cleaner
Use a steam cleaner to dissolve dirt and lift it out
of the grout. The heat from the steam can also kill
bacteria
BE VERY CAREFUL TO NOT BURN YOURSELF

Commercial grout cleaner
Apply a commercial grout cleaner to the grout

You can also seal grout to prevent mold, grime, and
grit from getting in. You should seal grout at least
once or twice a year, depending on how often the tiled
area is used. Wait at least 24 hours after deep scrubbing
before applying the sealer. 

Avoid using heavy-duty chemical cleaners, vinegar, or
lemon juice on grout because they can be too acidic
