- Baking soda – Known for its abrasive properties, baking soda is great for scrubbing dirt and stains from grout without damaging the surface.
- White vinegar – A natural acidic cleaner that helps dissolve dirt, soap scum, and mildew while also sanitizing surfaces.
- Dish soap – A gentle, grease-fighting detergent that helps lift dirt and grime from tiles and grout.
Instructions:
-
Mix the Ingredients:
- In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup of baking soda, 1/4 cup of white vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of dish soap.
- Stir the mixture well until it forms a thick paste. If the paste is too thick, you can add a few more drops of vinegar or water to reach a spreadable consistency.
-
Apply the Cleaner:
- Using an old toothbrush, a soft sponge, or a small brush, apply the paste to the grout lines and tiles. Focus on areas with stains or buildup.
- Make sure the paste covers the grout completely, and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes. This gives the ingredients time to break down the grime and stains.
-
Scrub Away:
- After the paste has had time to sit, use the brush or sponge to scrub the grout lines and tiles in circular motions. This will help lift any dirt and stains from the surface.
- For tougher stains or heavily soiled areas, you may need to apply a little extra pressure, but be careful not to scratch the tiles.
-
Rinse and Wipe Clean:
- Once you’ve scrubbed all the grout and tiles, rinse the area with warm water. Use a clean cloth or sponge to wipe away any remaining residue from the cleaner.
- For a streak-free finish, wipe the tiles with a dry microfiber cloth to help shine them up.
