Use 1/2 cup hydrogen peroxide to 1 cup of water. Do not rinse but allow to stand until dry. Mop the floor using a clean mop and fresh water. Reseal the grout to keep stains from reforming.
A toothbrush and vinegar works also but is time consuming and back breaking.
The important thing to remember is the grout must be resealed to keep the problem from recurring. Generally, if mold has started to develop, the seal is gone and must be replaced anyways. (Chlorine bleach kills the bacteria which causes the mold)

Hey,
you can use Half hydrogen peroxide half water solution can be used to clean white grout. The solution is sprayed on to the floor and let be there for about 15 minutes. The solution is sprayed again.
As peroxide is bleach, it can not be used on colored grout as it may remove the color. for more on
