Grimy grout can make even the cleanest home look dingy. But before you reach for a stiff brush and hours of elbow grease, try this effortless method instead. With the right combination of natural ingredients and a little patience, you can lift stains and refresh grout — no scrubbing required!
🧪 What You’ll Need
- 1/2 cup baking soda
- 1/3 cup hydrogen peroxide (3%)
- 1 tablespoon liquid dish soap
- Spray bottle (optional)
- Paper towels or cloths
🧼 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Mix Your Cleaning Solution
In a small bowl, combine baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, and dish soap to form a smooth paste. You can also mix the liquid parts in a spray bottle and shake well.
2. Apply Generously to Grout Lines
Using a spoon or squeeze bottle, apply the paste directly onto dirty grout. Make sure to fully cover each line. Let it sit for at least 10–15 minutes (longer for tougher stains).
3. Let It Work Its Magic
As the solution sits, it breaks down built-up grime and soap scum. No scrubbing needed — just patience.
4. Wipe Clean with Damp Cloth
Once time is up, wipe away the cleaner with a damp cloth or paper towels. You’ll be amazed at how clean the grout looks already.
5. Rinse (Optional)
For high-traffic or bathroom areas, rinse with warm water to remove any remaining residue.
✨ Bonus: Keep Grout Cleaner Longer
After cleaning, consider applying a grout sealer to prevent future buildup. Also, use a vinegar and water spray weekly to maintain the shine.
That’s it! Clean grout without scrubbing is totally possible — and your tile will thank you for it
