Grout plays a key role in the aesthetics and functionality of our tiled floors and walls. Its job is not only to join the tiles but also to protect the surface from moisture penetration.

Over time, dirt, mould, and deposits accumulate on it, which not only spoil the appearance but can also be a source of bacteria and fungi. Fortunately, there is an effective way to remove dirt and restore the shine to the grout.

homemade grout cleaning paste

Baking soda is one of the most effective and versatile ingredients you can find in your kitchen or pantry. It works not only in making delicious baked goods but is also great for cleaning. How to do it?

Preparing homemade paste for cleaning grout is simple. Just mix about 150 grams of baking soda with a few tablespoons of lukewarm water. The mixture should form a thick paste. It's best to apply it with a toothbrush and gently scrub in circular motions to thoroughly clean all nooks and crannies.

This homemade solution effectively deals with stubborn dirt and mould, even in hard-to-reach places. For even better results, you can add a few drops of lemon to the mixture. The fruit not only leaves a fresh scent after cleaning but, thanks to its high natural acid content, enhances the disinfecting effect.

An effective method for cleaning tiles is using toilet cleaner. Simply mix about half a litre of toilet cleaner with the same amount of water and use this mixture to scrub the grout with a sponge or soft brush.

Toilet cleaning liquid is a strong solution that easily eliminates accumulated bacteria and mould. It can be extremely effective in dealing with stubborn stains, dissolving them quickly. However, remember to always use protective gloves, as the cleaner can cause skin burns.
