    For regular maintenance, I mop liberally with this solution:

    1 cup white cleaning vinegar

    1 cup baking soda

    1 Tbsp blue Dawn

    2 gallons hot water (I boil a large pot and hottest tap water for the balance)


    If a stubborn stain, Mr. Clean Magic Eraser + Lysol Toilet Bowl Cleaner in the black squirt bottle.


    Once you get it clean, check to see if it needs to be re-sealed. If so, then sealing will help to prevent future stains.

    First, wipe down the grout with hot water to remove surface dirt and grime. Next, spray a cleaning solution on the grout. You can mix your own by putting a 50-50 mix of vinegar and water into a spray bottle. Spray on the grout, let stand for five minutes and then scrub with a soft brush.
