Over time, even the most avid housewives can get dirty or gray grout joints between tiles. SSPDaily has prepared 3 safe, eco-friendly ways to effectively clean them without using harsh chemicals.
Vinegar and baking soda
Mix equal parts of vinegar and water in a spray bottle, and then spray the solution on the surface. Then make a paste by mixing the baking soda with a little water. Apply it to the grout lines and leave it on for about 10 minutes. Brush the grout lines with an old toothbrush and then rinse with water.
Hydrogen peroxide and baking soda
Make a paste by mixing hydrogen peroxide with baking soda. Apply it to the seams and leave it on for 15 minutes. Brush the surface and rinse thoroughly. Hydrogen peroxide has natural bleaching properties, making it an effective tool for removing stubborn stains and brightening tiles.
Steam cleaning
Using a steam cleaner with a joint nozzle, apply steam to the desired surface. The high temperature of the steam breaks down dirt and grease, making it easier to clean. Then wipe the seam lines with a clean cloth or towel. This not only eliminates the need for chemical cleaners, but also disinfects the joints, making them as clean as possible.
