Cleaning Tip: How To Clean Grout

Amanda Faulkner
by Amanda Faulkner
Don’t you hate when you clean something, step back and you know it’s clean but it still looks a little dirty? That is, or I should say, was me with the grout in our bathroom!
I would clean the shower, but still there was a tint to our once white grout that drove me crazy! Then I learned a bathroom cleaning tip on how to clean grout. It does take a little time, but it’s not hard (more tedious). But the good news is that it looks SO much better and it doesn’t have to be done very often!
You will just need a bleach pen and sponge! Bleach pens are awesome because they have a fine tip side and the bleach is thicker than it would be straight from the bottle.
(My before and after. And confession: I didn’t even let it sit for as long as I should have!)

    Those Clorox bleach tubes can be expensive would it be just better to use up a gallon of water with half a cup of bleach that’s what I do.

    Anything with bleach degrades grout, because it is on the acidic end of the PH scale. After continued use it will start to crumble. Peroxide and a drop of dish soap is a much safer disinfecting cleaner. It has a neutral PH. Hospitals have switched to using peroxide and it is inexpensive. I clean my entire bathroom with a bucket of peroxide, a drop of dish detergent and water. I also use the same formula to clean my kitchen ceramic tile floor.
