cleaning wall grout

[plumbersmate]

talking of grout cleaning, does anyone else dislike using charcoal/black grout? apart from the panic i go through trying not to get the stuff on carpets which are usually cream, (the problem never arises with other colours!), walls etc, there's the sheer volume of water needed to clean the wretched stuff off the tiles, and associated surfaces, e.g. the bath - i think i may be partly to blame for the hose-pipe bans summer 2006!

do you find that rubbing off to early has a risk of marking the joints or are you just extra careful...
