Homemade Grout Cleaner

Remove stains or dirt from grout lines can be a frustrating time. Most dirt is ground into the pours of the grout in high traffic area's more than low traffic areas. Now you want all the grout to be the same color without paying someone to redo it.

You will need these ingredients to make a homemade grout cleaner:

1 Med sized mixing bowl
1 cup of baking soda
3 cups of warm water
1 old toothbrush

Combine warm water and baking soda into a paste. Apply the paste on the grout lines of your tile and scrub. Rinse with warm water until there is no paste remaining. Note: Throw any remaining cleaner away. A new mixture should be made every time it is needed.

After you have cleaned the grout you may want to invest in some grout sealer to prevent them from getting dirty or discolored.

Note: Though I have not tried it yet, members of my family told me that using a "magic eraser" on the grout lines removes stains and dirt. I will give it a try as soon as I can.
