I also have black floors in the bathroom. I would never do it again. At least not here where the water is so calcareous.
I’ve gotten into the habit of always cleaning with lime-dissolving (acidic) and once with alkaline cleaning products (greases and soaps). Since then it has seemed much cleaner.

Something acidic should work. I like Heitmann Zitronensäure. Vinegar is fine too. But whatever you use, please be careful with the grout, because acid is bad for it and washes ot out. It’s best to water the grout before you start cleaning and if you want to let the acid sit a bit, try to keep it out of the grout.

Looks like you live somewhere with hard water. As a Munich resident I’d recommend to just buy a 5l canister of food grade vinegar (25%) – I just got a new one this week for 10€ incl shipping off Amazon, much cheaper than any cleaner. And if anything it works better 🙂 just be careful because 25% vinegar is pretty strong, for the bathroom I put it into a spray bottle and dilute it with water.
Works like a charm, however obviously smells like vinegar. And you can use it for vinegar in the kitchen as well.

Denkmit, Limescale Cleaner aka Kalkreiniger for white stains plus Chlor Reiniger for yellow stains / mold. If its soap, then you will have to scrub it manually.

Definitely vinegar. If you find the 32% industrial vinegar it’s even better. In Denmark you find it in every common market. Let it soak for like half an hour and then use a cleaning brush 😊

Try the pink stuff paste. It can get rid of nearly anything

Citric Acid powder at DM. It’s next to the dish soap. Safe to use for floors, glasses, washing machine/dishwasher, and even your Nespresso machine.
