Whether it’s the bathroom, hall or the kitchen, having a floor or walls that are tiled instantly provides any space with an elegant look and feel. The trouble is that a beautiful tiled finish often comes at the price of hard to clean grout in between the tiles. And because grout sits lower than the surrounding tiles it tends to accumulate a build-up of dirt. Grout is porous in nature and the grime seeps in and can become difficult to remove. In fact, no matter how much elbow grease and fancy cleaning product one uses, the grout never seems to look as great as it ought to.
If this scenario sounds all too familiar then read on to learn of four sure-fire methods that make grout spotlessly clean with very little effort.
- Method One – Vinegar and Baking Soda
Sprinkle the surface of the tiled floor with baking soda, taking care to brush it into the grouted grooves between the tiles. Then take a spray bottle filled with cleaning vinegar and liberally dampen each grout line. The baking soda will begin to bubble and fizz. Wait for a few minutes until all the bubbling has stopped and then mop the floor as usual. The dirt and grime will easily wipe away, revealing spotless grout.
- Method Two – Baking Soda Paste and Vinegar Spray
This method is similar to the first one but instead of sprinkling dry baking soda, add a little water to the soda to create a stiff paste then brush it onto the grout between all the tiles. Once again, spray with cleaning vinegar and leave it to bubble away for a few minutes. Mop as usual and the dirt will be completely gone.

- Method Four – Oxygen Bleach Powder
For really stubborn stains use oxygen bleach powder. Start by sweeping and mopping the floor then mix the bleach powder into some water and pour it over the grout and let it pool. The longer it sits there, the deeper it cleans and leaving it for a few hours will not cause any harm. When enough time has passed simply mop the floor as usual. Wet grout looks darker, so wait until the floor has completely dried to fully gauge the results. Oxygen bleach can remove the toughest stains but a great bonus tip is to also use an old electric toothbrush on the grout if nothing else will get the job done.
With such a comprehensive list there is sure to be a method of cleaning to suit every preference and circumstance.
