Mildew free grout…. Mildewing, WTH?

My 4 year old bathroom renovation with travertine tile has mildew proof, or mildew resistant, grout. We squeegee after every use, but the grout still mildews. Any suggestion to control or eliminate this? My wife cloroxes it on occasion, but I don’t think that is good for the travertine. Im sure that I can grout seal again, but I’ll take any suggestions.

Are ya ready?

Pour some hydrogen peroxide into a spray bottle and spray the grout to get rid of mold and mildew. It's perfectly safe for grout and all tile and much better than using bleach. Plus, bleach is slippery and could cause a fall in the shower.

Hydrogen Peroxide i
s really inexpensive - big 32oz bottles for $1 at Walmart...
