How to remove cooking oil from tile grout?

On Friday, about a gallon of cooking oil was spilled onto our newly installed porcelian tile floor and I'm looking for suggestions on the best way to remove it from the grout. The grout has not been sealed yet.





We initially cleaned it with dish soap which cleaned the tiles, but not the grout. We then tried steam-cleaning the grout, which didn't seem to help much. We also applied 'Goop' de-greaser which didn't seem to help either. And finally, we put down corn starch and that didn't help either.





Any other suggestions?

You have to re grout the damaged area, nothing will remove oil from a porous grout, it has to be removed.How to remove cooking oil from tile grout?
use oven cleaner it works great for that,spray it on and let it set for a while then wash it off just like any other cleaner not only will it remove the oil it will make the tile look brand new again,don't believe me just try it and you'll be a believer
I doubt it...oil will soak in and NOT come out...you should have sealed it when it was new, before you decided to cook in the kitchen...you might have to re-grout. (you can try some tile cleaner from a home store...see if it helps...but you pretty much steamed it in...)
I would try spraying it with Scrubbing Bubbles Bath Tub and Shower Cleaner. It also works really well removing greasy finger prints.
Hot water soap and scrub brush rinse and wash the floor grout with TSP and rinse.
