NBR: How do you clean your grout?

Kristin JohnsonKristin Johnson member

The grout between my floor tiles in the kitchen was painted white by the previous owner.  When it is clean it loos great, but to clean it I have to get on my hands and knees with a grout brush.  I'm wondering if there is a better way.  My steam mop doesn't get down in the grout and clean it.  Anyone else have this problem?

    I got this grout cleaner stuff from Home depot or Lowes, I spray it on and leave it and then it brushes off easy.

    The best thing I've used is Barkeeper's Friend (a scouring powder) and a scouring pad.  The grout is bright white when I'm done - although I do have to be on my hands and knees to clean using these items.  We tried come stuff from Home Depot also that was marketed specifically for cleaning grout, but the results were far better with the Barkeeper's Friend.

    I use a liquid grout cleaner from Menards and scrub the grout on my hands and knees. Nothing else really works.

    In my bathroom I use Clorox Cleanup with Bleach.  I just spray it on, and the next day it's bright white (without bleaching the tile or anything it shouldn't).

    Peroxide. Seriously. Its inexpensive, buy a huge bottle, pour it on the floor, then let it bubble for a little while and mop it up. DONT get it on your carpet if there is any around because itll bleack it. But its cheap, and has barely any odor, and i feel alot safer using that than i do bleach, but i have lots of children in and out of my home (i run and in home daycare on the weekends)

     

    Hope i helped!

    I use pure vinegar. I just pour it on and mop it off. Every now and again I get down and brush it with a toothbrush.
