It’s no secret that grout is one of the most difficult parts of an apartment to clean. And let’s face it, an otherwise crystal clean bathroom or kitchen doesn’t have quite the same effect when dingy grout is dulling its sparkle. It seems like this cement in between tile dirties faster than the rest of the bathroom or kitchen, which can lead some to believe they must constantly spend money on cleaning supplies. However, there may be a better way.
It might come as a surprise, but you can actually make your very own grout cleaner with ingredients you likely already have lying around. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Protective gloves
- Hydrogen peroxide
- Baking soda
- Liquid dish soap
- A sponge
- A squeeze-top bottle
Before you get started, be sure to put on your protective gloves. Next, mix ½ cup baking soda and ¼ cup hydrogen peroxide in the bottle. Add in 1 teaspoon of liquid dish soap and replace the top on the bottle. Shake until the ingredients are completely combined. It really is that simple!
When you’re ready to start cleaning, be sure to put your gloves back on. Pour the mixture onto your grout, following the lines. Let it sit for five to 10 minutes so that it lifts whatever stains are on your grout. Then, wipe it away with a sponge.
