The Easiest Way To Clean Grout

Start By Spot Testing

I recommend you start by testing in a very small inconspicuous spot to start with. I started by testing in the back of my closet. Once you have tested it and it has dried without any problems then you can clean your whole floor.

The best way to clean grout is to pour out some of the toilet cleaner in the grout lines in about a 10 square foot area. Then, set a timer for about 5 minutes and let the toilet cleaner sit on the grout. Make sure any of the toilet cleaner doesn’t spread into a carpeted or wood area.

Once the five minutes is up, use the scrub brush to go over the area. You don’t need to spend a lot of time doing this, just a minute or two for the whole area. You can see how dirty looking the toilet cleaner is now that I scrubbed it.

Then, reset the timer for two minutes. At the end of two minutes give the grout one more quick scrub down and then wipe the toilet cleaner away using a wet rag or microfiber cloth. You can see all the dirt that came off on the cloth below.

If your grout is like mine it doesn’t look that different at first, however, once it dries it looks much better! Look at how clean my grout looks. The improvement is amazing.

Keep working your way around the room just doing small areas at a time. When you are completely finished let it all dry and check for any spots you may have missed or need to go over again. My area in front of the stove needed to be done twice.

Once you have finished you can mop the floor once using just water to get any extra residue away and then mop once using a floor cleaner.

My floors look much better after using the toilet cleaner on them. Who knew toilet cleaner would do such a great job? It really is the easiest way to clean grout. If you have ever wondered how to clean grout without all the scrubbing this is the method for you!
