I have white grouting, get a cheap spray bottle (dollar store) add 10 to 1 water & bleach. Spray on grout . Let it sit for 20 min., wipe off tile with paper towel. White again 😊

The grout looks the same to me.

I use TSP powder (trisodium phosphate) from the hardware store. Mix with water according to instructions and wear rubber gloves. It still requires scrubbing but cleans my tiles and grout back to white.

I asked my 30 year old son to clean his bathroom, he did, with Harpic loo cleaner on a white cast iron bath. To cut a very long story short, on advice we used the above concoction and after many hours of scrubbing it worked, not a 100% but enough to fool anyone other than the Mother in Law.

I'll give it a try, Thanks.

Awesome . Gonna try

Sooo satisfying!

put it in a zip lock bag to mix then cut the tip and pipe it on the lines.

Awesome video!

Can I suggest that you use an old battery operated toothbrush, which is what I always use when cleaning grout. A lot less elbow work.

Great advice👍

I just figured out a easier quicker way to apply the mixture. Use a grout float or plastic 5 way paint tool (has a notch for you to put your hand through) then apply solution to multiple grout lines at once. Make the solution a little runny and it should collect in the grout lines. So much easier then spooning on or using a toothbrush! Have fun lol!

Looks great!! Will be using this hack

I use vinegar baking soda and soap in hot water works well on my tiles

New power dawn works too. With a small hand brush or old toothbrush.

use a steamer then every few years then use a color grout sealer that will recolor your grout, so much easier

Ammonia does the job

I find wetting the grout with water and applying a commercial chalk remover is far easier. All you have to do is wait a few minutes before removing the mixture. No scrubbing!

I just use HP Clean from Tec7

Bonjour! An easier way to do it is to use 1 part of Isopropiyl rubbing alcohol + 1 part of any dish liquid + 2 part of water. Proceed immediately the same way as you do here.

How to Clean Grout in 1 Minute. "After 5 minutes start brushing"???

@jenniferbrown-west782

😂😂 exactly

Will the grout lines get thinner and eventually break? Using a toothbrush is highly effective in cleaning the grout, i tried it before. But is this because we are removing the top dirty layer of the grout?

@home_tips

2 ай бұрын

The grout will not become thinner from such a cleaner. Only dirt is washed away. The grout is washed and thinned with a cleaning agent that contains acid.

​@home_tips Was using a soft toothbrush previously and after a few times of cleaning, the upper layer of the grout breaks in a number of spot. Thus i am now forced to clean the shower floor using a household bleach cleaner 2.5%. Leave it for about an hour or so. More work but so far the grout lines are still fine.

It's much easier to leave a strong mix of degreaser in hot water on the floor for 20mins then mopping up. No scrubbing needed.

It looks the same.

They make it look quick and easy but it's a lot of on your hands and knees and scrubbing your @SS off. And it takes a while.

This method will take 24 to 30 hours to clean 420 square feet...

When I cleaned the shiny tiles, everything was fine. But if you are afraid of peroxide, try it on an inconspicuous area😊

I need words not music.

There is a better and harder brush you can use. I also use baking soda with clorox and it works great. It’s still lots of manual work.

Good luck popeye.

Grout before cleaning: dark and dirty. Grout after cleaning: dark and dirty. Yeah I see no changes.

That’s way too much trouble. Buy a premixed, grout cleaner like Zep grout cleaner and whitener, which has an acid in it. Also, a toothbrush is worthless. You need to use a grout brush which has much stiffer bristles. That’s only for ceramic or porcelain tiles. You have to use a neutral pH cleaner for cleaning grout between marble tiles.

My girlfriend friend has beautiful marble and that's the only thing she uses is vinegar

You can substitute peroxide with vinegar

This does not work

If you dont want to deal with granules on your floor- 1 part Iso propol alcohol, 1 part water, 1 part dish soap. Let sit for a few minutes, scrub them wipe off. Magic.

It would take me a week doing nothing else but my floor with this method lol no not a good recommendation for me I have a lot of floor space in my kitchen…it didn’t even look that well in the lines and with a toothbrush my goodness lol you know how many you’d go through lol

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser works better and much less work.

Do not use vinegar on til.

We talked about tiles. Nothing bad will happen if vinegar gets on the grout. The top layer will come off a little when you wipe it with a damp cloth. The main thing is not to brush

Yeah, this works but is incredibly messy. Toilet bowl cleaner is way less time consuming and clean up.

Here's another idea go to auto zone buy some mechanics hand wash omg I had to try it on mine I didn't have to scrub I applied it let it sit for a about 5 minutes and wiped it clean.

To clean kitchen grout, use oven cleaner. If you need to clean the grout in the bathroom, use a toilet cleaner.

Lysol Toilet bowl cleaner is excellent. Not the one for lime.. Stubborn stain leave for a few minutes. Not to long it turn the white grout blue the color of the cleaner. Good results that last a while

IT JUST LOOKS THE SAME !!
