Step-by-Step Guide to Clean Grout and Joints
Step 1: Make the Powerful Cleaning Paste
1️⃣ In a small bowl, mix 3 parts baking soda with 1 part hydrogen peroxide.
2️⃣ Add a few drops of dish soap to help with grease and stubborn stains.
3️⃣ Stir until it forms a paste-like consistency.
This baking soda and hydrogen peroxide paste is the secret weapon tilers use to clean grout because it tackles dirt and stains without harsh chemicals!
Step 2: Apply the Paste to Grout and Joints
1️⃣ Put on rubber gloves to protect your hands.
2️⃣ Use a small brush or toothbrush to apply the paste directly onto the stained grout lines and joints.
3️⃣ Make sure to cover all the affected areas evenly.
Step 3: Let the Paste Sit for 5-10 Minutes
🔹 Allow the paste to sit and work its magic on the grime for about 5 to 10 minutes. The hydrogen peroxide will lift stains, and the baking soda will act as a gentle scrubber.
Step 4: Scrub the Grout and Joints
1️⃣ After the paste has set, use the same brush to scrub the grout lines gently in a circular motion.
2️⃣ Focus on particularly stained areas, applying more paste as needed.
Step 5: Rinse and Admire the Results
1️⃣ Once the grout is clean, rinse the area with warm water to remove any leftover paste.
2️⃣ Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe down the tiles and ensure they’re spotless.
