"The grout on my bathroom floor tile haunts me. It's one of those projects I never really have the time or the initiative to tackle, but I hate how dirty it's become. It's beyond the maintenance stage and in need of a really good cleaning. Luckily, I discovered a DIY grout cleaner using common household products that worked wonders in my bathroom."
"How I Tested the DIY Grout Cleaners Because I had an abundance of time on my hands this weekend, I decided to approach it like a science experiment. I taped off three squares and got to work. I can't believe I'm displaying close-ups of my grimy grout on the internet, but here we go.I mixed everything up in a reusable container from the kitchen and dug up three extra dentist's office toothbrushes to do the dirty work."
Deeply discolored grout can be restored using common household ingredients. A paste of equal parts hydrogen peroxide and baking soda produces a sizzling reaction, turns foamy like watery shaving cream, and brightens grout after scrubbing. Other suggested options include baking soda mixed with water or warm water and vinegar. A simple test method uses taped-off squares and a small brush, such as a toothbrush, to apply and scrub each cleaner. Baking soda and water paste may be thinner than expected and can require extra baking soda for proper consistency. The peroxide-and-baking-soda paste shows noticeable brightening within minutes.
