Grout seen better days? Whip up this homemade grout cleaner in just minutes to get it sparkling white. You probably have everything on hand that you need to make this cleaner right in your home. That makes it easy to just grab it, apply the paste, and watch the magic happen!
Start with baking soda and hydrogen peroxide. Just two ingredients and you are well on your way to a homemade grout cleaner that works better than any commercial version with toxic chemicals. You will also need a bowl and a spoon.
Add some baking soda to a bowl. Pour as much in as you think you will need to clean your grout. The amount will depend on how big the area is to be cleaned. Remember however that you can always whip up more.
Add hydrogen peroxide slowly to the baking soda mixing well. You want to add liquid until the entire thing becomes a paste. There really are not any measurements. Just drop it in a few teaspoons at a time and mix well.
Once you have a paste, it is time to tackle that grout! Here is my bathroom floor where the grout has become discolored. It is time to take care of that problem!
Spoon the paste onto your grout lines. You want to lay your homemade grout cleaner right into the grout. Press slightly to ensure that it is really in the line and directly on your grout. Continue until all of your grout cleaners is on the floor or the entire area you want to clean is covered. Now for the hard part! You will need to let this sit 15 minutes or so. Allowing it to sit will make your job way easier.
Once the time is up, use a sponge and some warm water to remove the cleaner and reveal you’re nice clean grout lines. You may have to scrub a little bit but the cleaner has worked its magic! I decided to do a little experiment as well and see if this cleaner is reusable. I actually moved the cleaner that was on the grout lines to a different area before cleaning with the water. I allowed it to sit another 15 minutes to see if it would clean again.
It worked! You can reuse this cleaner at least once and still get the same results. It may even work a few more times as well. Give this homemade grout cleaner a try in your home and you will love the results. You can see on the image above exactly where the grout cleaner was on this floor. Now to head out and repeat this process across the entire floor. Clean grout here I come!
