Somewhere inconspicuous like behind the toilet or under the vanity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We would also recommend trying the mildest cleaning solution first, then working your way up to stronger solutions. Although this tip may not be favourable because it could require multiple tries before getting your grout clean \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get yourself a grout brush. A grout brush is a small, stiff-bristle brush usually made of nylon. It has a long handle to make scrubbing grout lines a bit easier and much quicker than using an old toothbrush!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"670\" src=\"https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Baking-soda_Ana-Cadena-via-The-Spruce-1000x670.png\" alt=\"Baking soda for cleaning\" class=\"wp-image-54384\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image via The Spruce<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-best-grout-cleaning-methods\">The best grout cleaning methods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-baking-soda-and-vinegar\">1. Baking soda and vinegar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sprinkle baking soda (aka bicarb soda) liberally over each grout line. Fill a spray bottle with white vinegar and spray over the baking soda. Allow it to sit and bubble away for a few minutes. The baking soda adds &#8216;grit&#8217; when cleaning, helping to lift the dirt away from the grout lines. Scrub your little heart out using a grout brush, then wipe away the dirt as you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-baking-soda-and-dishwashing-liquid\">2. Baking soda and dishwashing liquid<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A similar method to the one above is to mix baking soda with water and a squirt of dishwashing liquid. Add more water to make it liquid, or more baking soda to make it a paste. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trickle white vinegar into the grout lines, then add the baking soda mixture. Allow to sit for 5 minutes, then scrub away with a grout brush. Wipe away the dirt with a sponge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could also <a href=\"https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/the-best-way-to-clean-your-shower\/\">use our soft scrub cleaner<\/a> which contains similar ingredients and has amazing results!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-baking-soda-and-hydrogen-peroxide\">3. Baking soda and hydrogen peroxide<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In a bowl mix equal parts baking soda and hydrogen peroxide into a paste. Add to grout, leave for 5 or so minutes then scrub with a stiff bristled brush or grout brush. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hydrogen peroxide is a non-toxic alternative to bleach. When cleaning and used with baking soda, hydrogen peroxide is less harsh than bleach yet more effective than using just water. It&#8217;s available in most supermarkets and is usually found in the health and beauty aisle.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"504\" src=\"https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Cleaning-tiles_ceramictilesupplies.co_.uk_.jpeg\" alt=\"Cleaning tiles\" class=\"wp-image-54385\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Cleaning-tiles_ceramictilesupplies.co_.uk_.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Cleaning-tiles_ceramictilesupplies.co_.uk_-300x189.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Cleaning-tiles_ceramictilesupplies.co_.uk_-768x484.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Cleaning-tiles_ceramictilesupplies.co_.uk_-696x438.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/stylecurator.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Cleaning-tiles_ceramictilesupplies.co_.uk_-667x420.jpeg 667w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ceramictilesupplies.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Image via Ceramic Tile Supplies<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-that-tiktok-toilet-cleaner\">4. &#8216;That&#8217; TikTok toilet cleaner<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;re the first to admit, this TikTok grout cleaning hack makes us nervous&#8230; but it <em>does<\/em> seem to have very positive results. So, we&#8217;re including it in this round up of the best grout cleaning tricks. <em>But with a warning! <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TikTokers suggest using a commercial toilet cleaner. Pour it onto each grout line then allow it to sit and bubble away. Leave for 10 minutes before scrubbing it off with a brush. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Be aware:<\/strong> Caustic ingredients in some toilet cleaners can erode the sealer on your grout over the long-term.
