Silver State Floor Restoration List Tips for the Best Methods to Clean Your Tile Grout
Start With the Hot Water Grout Cleaning Method: If you are interested in trying to clean your grout you can start with a simple method. This may be a good idea if you have a small amount of dirt or an area that has some light staining. For this method all you need is hot water, a spray bottle and a toothbrush. Use the hot water to spritz the area of the tile that you want to treat. Then use the toothbrush of other soft bristle brush to scrub at the grout lines. This will pull the dirt away from the grout and you can wipe it up with a dry cloth. You want to make sure that you work in small areas at a time so that you can keep track of the lines you are done with.
Cleaning Grout with Baking Soda: The hot water method does work in some instances. Of course your grout has to be fairly clean already for the hot water to clean it. If you know that your grout lines are dirtier than that and you need to get in a bit deeper with the cleaning then you can use the same method but add baking soda. You want to use the same hot water in a bottle that you can spray on the area you want to clean. Then use the baking soda to sprinkle over the top and allow it to sit for about 10 minutes. After it has had time to sit you can use the toothbrush to scrub the areas that you are most concerned about. The dry cloth is still necessary.
Homemade Lemon Juice & Vinegar Grout Cleaner: If your grout has never been cleaned or there has been a major spill you may need to use a cleaner that has more in it. Now you want to use hot water, baking soda and add in lemon juice as well as vinegar to the spray bottle then use it to spray the area. You need to work fast when you use this cleaning solution so that it does not have time to eat away at the grout or the tile itself.
