About: New home owner with lots of projects and ideas to do. I am by no means a professional, just someone who enjoys doing things myself.

Here's a simple way to breath new life into your dirty tile grout.

Be sure to watch the linked video tutorial!

Step 1: Things You'll Need​

Items you will need:

  • Vinegar
  • Dish Soap
  • Scrub Brush
  • Tooth Brush
  • Scrub Pad (Scotch Pad)

Step 2: Mix the Liquids & Microwave

Process:

  1. Mix 1 cup of Vinegar with 1/2 a cup of Dish Soap
  2. Stir liquids then microwave for 2 minutes
  3. Remove from the microwave but be careful, the container will be HOT!

Side Note: The use of a measuring cup isn't a necessity, just make sure your Dish Soap ratio is 1/2 your Vinegar ratio.

Step 3: Cleaning

Process:

  • Dip your Tooth Brush into the liquid and begin brushing it into the grout.
  • With the grout wet, switch to the Scrub Brush and begin working out the built up gunk, dirt, whatever nasty stuff is in there.
  • If there is gunk still left on the grout, switch to a Scrub Pad (Scotch Pad) and work out whatever is left.
  • Finally, wipe clean with a rag and Voilà! Clean Grout!
