I just cleaned the grout in my whole house. A bit of Dawn dishwashing liquid in water plus maybe 3-4 squirts of Dawn Powerwash and a narrow wire brush with minimum elbow grease (a lot less than what you did in the video)….wipe it off with a rag and it’s like new.
I never knew people actually clean grout. So when i did the research, I decided Hydrogen Peroxide & Baking Soda would be the best grout DIY cleaner/recipe. BUT I everything I tried NEVER REALLY WORKED! I also tried Bar Keepers Friend (both soft & powder separately), OxiClean, Oxyboost, toilet bowl cleaner (only once on a small area whe I got desperate) and final Zep Grout Cleaner & Brightener. I prefer something natural since I have asthma and can't deal with toxic fumes (plus I'm NOT wasting my money on a product thats been tested on animals - even if it does work!). I tried leaving each cleaner on longer - I even bought an electric brush made specifically for cleaning grout. But nothing seems to work. The bathroom tiles are beige/grey. Its grout is beige (a short grout line behind the toilet shows its intended color). But since I rent this apartment (building was built about 4 years ago), the grout lines are grey to dark grey/brown. Recently, I've had to apply, brush, to nse the grout several times. So far, the best some areas have gotten is light grey. But I don't want to buy any harsh, toxic chemicals. No one deems to have any afvice for me 😢.
It may be that the original installer did not mix well or applied too much water in clean up causing color variations and the short gray line wasn't the intended color. Unless you've seen the grout lines as gray before it got dirty, I'd clean as usual and not spend more time on the color. You can throw a rug over it if you don't like the color.
@@shorteecake6644 Thanks so much for your response/advice! Makes sense since this apartment in general has many flaws & clearly shows it was made very poorly. The new Property Manager & Maintenance Man don't seem to have a clue. Thanks very much for shedding light. Take care! 💕👍
Try some Dawn dishwashing in water plus a couple squirts of Dawn powerwash in the water, a narrow wire brush and minimum elbow grease and your grout will look like new. Mine is a silver/grey again. I just did my whole house over the course of a couple days and can’t take my eyes off the like new floor.
Thanks, What product seals the grout?

That sounds like a supper easy method, thanks for sharing!
I use to have to do that for punishment.🤣🤣🤣
HAHAH NO WAY! That is hysterical! I feel like the grout is a pain to clean BUT nothing more satisfying 😍
What about on shower tile. Mole on the bottom of the shower tile??
