To the real estate editor: An easy way to whiten mildew-stained grout and paint is with ordinary household liquid bleach.

Pour the bleach into a wide-mouthed container and then "paint" it on the tile with a large paintbrush. The grout should whiten in a few moments. Work rapidly and keep the area well ventilated.

I do not know if this will help Julia Bristow's problem, but it is certainly worth a try.

My husband and I enjoy your column very much. Mrs. Robert Hobbs Torrance, Calif.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
