The grout will eventually wear off. So you should take not to apply vinegar for cleaning purposes if you have unsealed grout in the area.

Try Vinegar and Warm Water For A DIY Solution Fill a spray bottle with equal parts distilled white vinegar and warm water. Give it a good shake and then spray the grout. Let it sit for 5 minutes. Once it’s absorbed, give your grout a scrub down with your brush.

I saw a thread this morning where someone cleaned their clients old and very gunky shower and glass with gumption. It looked so incredible I had to pick up a tub grocery shopping. They also used Bar Keepers Friend. I’ve only ever used it in the kitchen but am very keen to pick up some more and give it a try.
