Cleaning bathroom tile grout is easier than you think! When you don't want to spend a lot of time or money scrubbing in the cracks, follow these simple steps.
Tools and Materials Needed:
- Small medium-bristled scrub brush
- Medium bucket
- Non-abrasive bathroom cleaner
- Hot water
- Knee pads (if desired)
Step 1 - Prepare the Floor
Sweep and mop the floor to get rid of any debris. Leave the floor slightly damp, but not drenched. Spray a generous amount of non-abrasive bathroom cleaner onto the grout. Do not use an abrasive cleaner as it may remove not only dirt and grime, but part of the grout as well. Let the cleaner soak in for a few minutes.
Step 2 - Scrub the Grout
Fill the bucket with a mixture of hot water and a small amount of the bathroom cleaner and set it on the floor. If desired, wear knee pads. Wet the scrub brush with the hot water mixture and scrub the grout with a back and forth motion. At this point, you will notice the grout lightening in color.
Step 3 - Rinse
The last thing to do is to mop the floor once more with clear, warm water. Once the floor is dry, your tile grout should be good as new!
