Grout, although a crucial component of any tiling, can be notoriously tough to maintain in pristine condition. If your house, like mine, has tiled areas such as the entryway, bathrooms, and mudroom, you've likely had a hard time trying to keep the grout spotless. Elements like dirt, dust, mildew, and hard water stains make it almost impossible to maintain the grout in its original, clean state.
Fortunately, there's a straightforward solution to recover the original lustre of your grout. The answer lies in a simple mix of common household items. The ingredients you'll need include seven cups of water, 1/2 cup of baking soda, 1/3 cup of lemon juice, and 1/4 cup of distilled vinegar.
Start by combining these ingredients and transferring the solution into a spray bottle. Spray the mixture generously onto your grout and leave it on for approximately 20 minutes. This allows the solution time to break down any grime or stains.
After the solution has been left to sit, use a scrub brush to work it deep into the grout. This step helps lift any stubborn dirt or discolouration that may have embedded into the grout lines.
Once you've scrubbed the grout thoroughly, rinse off the solution or wipe the grout clean using a damp cloth. If your grout was particularly stained, you might need to repeat the process to achieve the desired results. Once done, you'll be amazed by how clean and bright your grout will look, reminiscent of the day it was first installed!
This cleaning method doesn't just bring excellent results; it's also very cost-effective, using ingredients that are commonly found around the house. Moreover, it's an entirely natural and safe approach, ensuring that your family's wellbeing isn't compromised. With this solution at hand, it's time to bid farewell to dirty grout and welcome sparkling clean surfaces!
