How do you fix a dark gray grout that has been bleached by a cleaning product?

Most likely if bleach has lightened it, you will not be able to simply reverse the problem. The easiest solution is to paint the grout. Most tile stores will sell this. It is thinner then paint, but you will see very good and quick results.
The only other real option is to regrout the floor. Since this is time consuming and messy, grout paint is the best choice.

What product can you seal your kitchen tile grout with that will harden and last long time?
I had very dirty tile grout in my kitchen and bathrooms from one of those swiffer mops. After a few months the grout lines became dirty and even when I used bleach in the grout lines they would not get clean.... After a while I realized that my grout was not sealed when the ceramic tiles were laid down (ceramic tiles usually come sealed)....I went to an orange colored builder supply store and first got a professional grade heavy duty acidic grout cleaner. I followed the directions and then once it was dry and cleaned I used a high traffic grout sealer (was in a tall yellow container with blue writing...don't remember the name) and a roller to roll the grout lines...once it dried my grout lines were shiny and white! It doesn't matter what color the store is you buy a sealer from! Read the labels on any grout sealer!!! If it states that a second application can be made at a later date; that raises the question "What happened to the first?". Also, look for any cautionary statement "Do not allow product to contact glass or metal"! In either case these products will not give longevity as a sealer. A cementitous grout left untreated will absorb waterborne contaminates into the capillary pore of the grout that has not been waterproofed! Dirty mop water is a sure way to discolor a grout! I use a product direct from the manufacturer that waterproofs in one application and increases compressive strength of any Portland Cement based grout material. Once the grout has been waterproofed, an added benefit is; it does not allow formation of efflorescence crystals on a surface. Best to place this product the day after grouting to protect from construction residue. Low VOC allows application in an occupied interior space and your grout problems are over!

Quick Tips for Easy Grout Cleaning?
Even the most beautiful tile job in the kitchen, bathroom or patio can quickly lose its luster when the grout in between the tiles gets dirty and grungy looking. If maintained on a regular basis to prevent dirt and spills from causing the grout to darken, tile walls, floors and backsplashes can be kept looking in like new condition. Just a few inexpensive cleaning tools and a few minutes of manual labor can transform ugly grout into good looking grout once again.One of the easiest ways to clean grout doesn't involve any expensive commercial solutions or caustic chemicals. Simply mix equal parts of hot water with white vinegar. Pour this mixture into a spray bottle and apply to all grout surfaces and allow to sit for a few minutes. Now use a small scrub brush and working in circular motions scrub all the grout prior to rinsing with warm clear water and mopping up any excess liquid.You can also make a paste of baking soda and warm water and rub that into all grout surfaces. Then scrub with a small brush before rinsing with water and drying with a clean cotton cloth or mop. For double cleaning action, you can spray the baking soda paste with the water and vinegar solution prior to beginning scrubbing duties. Either cleaning solution works well on either walls or floors and both are environmentally friendly ways to get grout tile looking clean and fresh again.A small hand-held steam cleaner is another quick way to clean the dirt and debris that can accumulate on tile grouting. Always remember to rinse the treated area with clean water and dry thoroughly after cleaning. If the grout has been neglected for quite a few years and has some pretty heavy duty staining, you may have to head to the hardware store to invest in a commercial grout cleaning solution. Be sure to read the directions and apply it to a test area in the corner first before using it over an entire wall or floor to be sure that the solution doesn't damage the grouting.Some stains can be removed using a solution of oxygen detergent or bleach diluted with equal parts of water. Never mix any cleaning solution containing either bleach or ammonia with any other solutions and be sure to open a door or window so that the area you are working in is well ventilated. You can avoid frequent grout cleaning jobs by applying a grout sealer after the grout has been satisfactorily cleaned and completely dried.
