Our bathroom grout was bad even after steam washing it. We ended up finding these Grout paint pens. Looks good and now cleans up with a quick wipe with a rag or mop.

Lowes and home depot should have them.

Just hit up grout sealant on google--theres a million products--but you will have to get on your hands and knees at least once to apply it. And don't waste your time going after the builder--unless you specifically wrote it into a contract its not getting done--I have yet to meet a builder that seals their grout as a courtesy (or does much of anything as a courtesy) It is not a code requirement or something that sells more houses so it doesn't get done.

I remembered something else this morning.

Powdered Oxi-Clean works fairly good for cleaning grout.
Make a paste and let it sit on the grout lines for like a half hour, then scrub and rinse.

Of course that only gets it clean. It doesn't keep it clean.

Good tip, I may try this... I hired someone to do the deep steam cleaning and it looked better, and it was only a couple bucks for them to reapply the sealer so I paid for them to do it. They used a Grout Wand Stick which made the job go real quick: https://www.amazon.com/Grout-Wand-Stick/dp/B003I2MK1Y

thx everyone

here is another WILD idea..how about regular white glue in the gap lol? its pretty solid and easy to clean I guess. like masking tape the surrounding then put the regular white wood glue in there then scrape the excess and let it dry. I might give this is a try on a tiny area in the bathroom to see how it works out lol..
