Wow !! We've never seen this done with borax before!! Can't wait to do your method before we sell our house! Thank you!!!

Good tips!! If you can't find a grout brush a denture brush works really well. It's just as stiff (at least the one I found at Walmart was) and often times cheaper than a grout brush.

Love it ! Omg my parents have a long ceramic floor that looks great but would take me forever- good thing it not bad at all more like spots. Definitely, going to do a few stubborn spots of folks bathroom floor grout. My Father can’t be around any cleaning chemicals or scents so Borax is great ! My skin is very sensitive to Borax will wear gloves! I will close the bathroom door as I can hear my Father now as he walking by seeing me on my hands knees scrubbing with that little brush. First I better not be using anything that going smelling as a breathing medical issue. Trying this after I get a grout brush from Amazon Prime! This RN is thinking this is serious nesting OCD down on your hands and knees like that .

It would speed things up to put your solution in one of those squeeze bottles from the dollar store (like hairdressers use to color roots and folks use with kitchen oils to control the amt poured into the skillet). They're cheap and you can easily shake it to keep your emulsion at the right consistency and the small tip makes application easy and accurate.

This is the most impressive, doable, grout cleaning video I’ve seen. Thanks!

One more grout tip. The best gift I gave myself where my grout is concerned is that after I used this method to clean my grout I went to Home Depot and bought a bottle of Polyblend Grout Renew. It's a grout sealer and stain all in one. Essentially you can make any grout any of the colors available. Light to dark color, or dark color to light. Doesn't matter. I simply followed the instructions on the bottle and my grout looked brand new. I have two ceramic tiled bathrooms and have done both bathrooms twice off of the one bottle of Grout Renew that I bought. I probably went four or five years between applications. I find that the grout mops clean much easier between applications and I haven't had to scrub the grout like that again.

I usually just sprinkle the dry on the grout lines then spray the water on to make the paste. A bit less time consuming. Also found the baking soda also works better if you do the same that way and the scrubbing is important to get desired clean since its the abrasive quality of the two products the are the main components.

💗😊💕great job, Andrea👍 I too have had an eyesore over my white tiled bathroom floor. And it’s diff to get down on the ground and scrub. Anyway, I was blessed with a surprise last month, I had come across a Bissel stream cleaner pot for only $40.00 CAN at Canadian Tire and I gladly paid for it. My previous one Scuinti (I think) locked up with pressure since it appears that I forgot to empty it before I put it away, lesson learned. Anyway, I got this to clean crevices in the bathroom, but when I got it, it came with a niffly brush, I was so surprised, it was a grout cleaner!!!NO WAY!!! Well I proceeded to clean my bathroom floor with it and just used a towel to wipe up the gunk….It cleaned it up so well and just with steam and some elbow grease…..I don’t have a very big bathroom, though it’s a bit long…..anyway, only downside is I was sore for a day or 2 after from scrubbing/hunched over. Funny how something that bugged me for so long was so easy to fix in the end. Likely if I do it once a year, it won’t be as time consuming as if I left it for years and years like last time. Glad I found you on KZread. How exciting that you are pregnant. Ah, mine are all grown up😊💕💗

My hubby and I are senior citizens and we find kneeling nearly impossible.

A tad smelly but it subsides really quickly. :)

This hack is ridiculous. Use bleach. I have white grout with grey tiles and so you can imagine how dirty the grout gets. Every so often, I sit on a short step, pour some bleach into a container, take an old toothbrush and wet the grout with the bleach. After getting all of the grout wet, I leave it like that for about 30 minutes. Have the fan on. When you return, most of it is already gone, the darker areas, just scrub with your toothbrush and then wipe away with a wet rag. It's not messy like what she's got and her's doesn't even look that clean. Mine goes white. You can clean your toilet bowl this way too. Pour some bleach into the bowl, use the brush to get some of the solution on the sides. Close the top and leave it alone for about 30 minutes or better yet do it before going to bed. Next morning voila! Clean as a whistle. Remember the fan.
