Grout Cleaning Made Easy

Quick trick for restoring dingy grout joints to like-new condition

Hello and welcome to Joe Shows How! Tiled floors and walls are beautiful, easy to clean, and extremely durable. However, the same can’t be said for grout joints between the tiles. Grout is porous and easily stained. In this week’s video, I show how to make an affordable and effective grout cleaner from products you probably have in the house right now.

Start by adding 1/2 cup of baking soda to a small bowl. Then pour in 1/4 cup of hydrogen peroxide, followed by one tablespoon of Dawn dish soap. Mix well and then use a grout brush to scrub the cleaning solution into the stained grout. Wait 10 minutes or so, then scrub again for a few minutes.

Wipe the surface clean with paper towels or a sponge. Allow the grout to fully dry before using a narrow artist’s paintbrush to apply two coats of clear silicone sealer.

I hope you find this tip useful, and be sure to stay tuned to the end of the video for a Bonus Tip on the differences between authentic stone tile, and porcelain tile that resembles stone. And as always, thanks for watching!
