2. Use hydrogen peroxide to clean grout
Hydrogen peroxide isn’t just for disinfecting wounds. It’s known for its ability to remove blood or wine stains, but did you know that it’s also one of the best grout cleaners?
All you need is some hydrogen peroxide and an old toothbrush to scrub between the joints and get all the dirt out. Finally, rinse with water and a clean cloth.
3. White vinegar against dirt between the joints
Our grandmothers used vinegar to clean almost everything, and they were right. Vinegar is one of the most effective natural products for cleaning and disinfecting surfaces, removing the most stubborn dirt.
Mix two equal parts vinegar and warm water and dip a cloth into the solution. Wipe between joints, and after a few minutes, wipe with a clean cloth. If the stains are old and won’t come off, apply some undiluted vinegar for a few minutes before cleaning.
4. In extreme cases, water and bleach
If the natural alternatives listed above do not give satisfactory results, there is only one way out: turn to bleach.
Wear gloves and pour 3 or 4 tablespoons of bleach per gallon of water. Use the solution to rub between the joints with a used toothbrush and, after about ten minutes, wipe with a clean cloth.
Keeping the floor spotless and removing dirt between the joints is easier than you think: immediately apply the tricks described above to return the floor to its original appearance.
