If your grout is falling out or turns black almost as soon as you clean it, the grout is not your problem. Most grout will either last a lifetime or, if installed improperly, come out soon after it is applied.

Re-grouting is one of those myths made famous by handymen. Your grout’s failure is a symptom, not the problem. When grout begins turning black, usually the wall behind the tile is rotting and the mold is “bleeding through” to the top. You can clean with the most powerful antibacterial solution and it will only make the surface mold disappear for a few days, then it grows back from the wall through the grout.

Likewise, you can caulk or apply grout over spots where grout has fallen out and it will slow the tiles in their eventual fall from the wall but, one day, you will touch the wall and tiles will end up at your feet.
