    I saw the post just the other day. Make a paste out of baking soda and bleach, apply to grout, let sit. After I guess 15 min or so go back, wet an old tooth brush and brush away! Then rinse.

    I use the following non-toxic homemade cleaner. 7C water, 1/2 C baking soda, 1/3 C fresh lemon juice, 1/4C distilled vinegar. Strain out the pulp from the lemon juice. I mix it in a bucket, then pour into spray bottle. Spray it on, let it sit for a few minutes then scrub with a toothbrush. Works very well! Also works great for lots of other things. I use this solution to clean the tub and shower. Works really well for taking off soap scum.

    If you use this recipe for my Daily Shower Cleaner, rarely, if at all will you need to clean grout. To clean mildewed grout, I use liquid automatic dishwashing detergent. Also use it on stains on white clothing. Recipe: Ladybug's Daily Shower Cleaner 1 empty 32oz spray bottle 1 cup white vinegar 2 tbsp dishwasher rinse agent (aka Jet-Dry) 10-12 drops of favorite essential oil (optional)Add ingredients to bottle and fill bottle with water. Spray doors or curtain, all walls in the shower and the tub floor. This will keep a clean shower clean and prevents mildew or mold build-up. I scrub the tub once a month. (I would do it twice a month but I can't stand to be on my knees.)***Update: DebbieG29 commended:Thank you Ladybug! This is awesome! Thanks for sharing!
