5 BEST Ways to Clean Grout (Used On Bathroom, Kitchen & Shower Floors)

[@tommurphree8460]

Super grateful that you shared toilet bowl cleaner idea. Beats anything I've tried included store bought cleaners. I had 2 options available, Clorox and Lysol, until I found my wife's stash of a 4 pack of Lysol. The Lysol is a dark blue, Clorox very light green. As I used each in a different part of the kitchen, I could see the Lysol turning darker. The Clorox seemed unchanged. The Lysol was in a heavy traffic area but both were dirty. I can really see this difference today after complete drying. So for me the Lysol is the way to go. One application is all it takes. I assume you can let it work as long as it doesn't dry, which appears would be a long time. Brushing is necessary. Found a long handle brush, at Lowes I think, white handle. I use the carpet cleaner and a mop to rinse. Ear muffs are a must. Thanks again.

[@CleanWithConfidence]

Happy to help!🙂

[@tommurphree8460]

To clarify, carpet shampooer and mop. Peace

I used baking soda, peroxide and dawn liquid soap. It works extremely well but leaves a gritty floor from Baking soda that needs mopping with clear water. I think grout gets dirty from mop water that gets trapped in the groves. I really would like to get on my knees to clean but I no longer can.

Good video with several choices of cleaners that a person might already have at home! Please, if you can, do a video cleaning white grout. I haven't seen one demonstrate with white grout ,only darker grouts. Seems impossible to get white grout white again.

[@dianasimplifies]

Agree. My moms grout is white and it's a booger. I like that brush he uses on the pole. I'm going to get one of those brushes. I can't do the on the floor thing.

That was the best grout cleaning video. I cleaned my grout with hydrogen peroxide and baking soda, and it was so satisfying. Question: do you mop up the dirt afterwards or just use cloths? I had to use 5-6 towels to get up the dirt that came out. Then what should you do? Thanks again

[@CleanWithConfidence]

Yes it's easiest to mop up afterwards!

[@davidish6079]

I use steam ...no chemicals and it's fast and effective

[@shawnsturgeon1014]

This gives me hope, I recently bought a steam machine for a upcoming job.

[@debrajohnson5337]

The steam doesn't push the dirt into the grout ? I just thought it might ?

[@cubanangel1286]

Once you clean the grout and seal it (using the grout eez products) how long does that sealer usually last on the grout? Thank you for your informative videos 😊

[@CleanWithConfidence]

It's hard to give an exact time but as long as you don't use abrasive things that will break the sealer down it will last for a long time.

[@OgdenM]

Read the bottle of grout sealer. Some say reseal every 6 months. And As Clean W/ Confidence say, yah DO NOT use abrasive things to clean after sealing it. No brushes! Just use a non scratch sponge.

[@High_Pristess1111]

I saw a video and they said you supposed to seal it once a year...so after cleaning seal, then do it again around same time the following year.

[@bkirstie]

I think I’ll follow the fith best way, and btw, I’m in Boston, MA! 😅 I need that for the bathroom but will need to buy a sealant to cover the grouts cus I see is dark cus is coming off.

[@mjenn6154]

HeyvThomas!! How does that not scratch your tiles using the brush like that?

Hi, can you post a video about cleaning tiles in the shower? I figure these methods won't work well cause of gravity pulling the concoctions down. My shower walls are tiled and I am having the hardest time cleaning them, unfortunately :(

[@OgdenM]

Sadly, if it's mold in the grout; it's a lost cause. The mold is so deep in the grout you can't actually clean it. You can clean the surface but it's gonna grow right back out. But, 99% of cleaning is really just the manual action of scrubbing. You don't need any strong chemicals, just dish soap and water and a brush. All though, bleach WILL turn the previously white tile grout back to white..... temporarily until the mold grows out again.

[@marydavis3764]

You need a fan to keep the air moving so the mold won’t come back.

[@teresathompson235]

You can also water down some lighter colored paint. Work it it and wipe up to even the shade. Cover with sealer. So much faster.

[@jvallas]

Paint over grease & grime?

[@teresathompson235]

And...it's more of a whitewash verses paint look.

[@CleanWithConfidence]

Grout Eez works best👍🙂

[@GladiusTR]

Gonna use number 1!

[@Rainbowace96]

Next time try using a sponge instead of a brush, the grout has microscopic pores that you're filling in with the gunk you're scrubbing, a sponge scrubs and sucks up what you're scrubbing out 🤩

[@OgdenM]

The tool depends on how bad it is. I'm a pro cleaner, a brush if frequently called for. But yes, then you sponge and rinse the grout after to get stuff out of it.

[@sandysteiger832]

How did that tile get so much dirt! I have never seen grout that dirty.

Thank you for the cleaning tips!!! As you were applying the bleach and then wiping the tile clean ,there was the image of a cross,of course ,as the tiles were displayed.I immediately smiled and thanked and praised God for taking away my sins when Christ died upon the cross and making my soul clean ,so I could worship Him in Truth. The blood of Jesus cleanses us from all unrighteousness and presents us faultless before the Father.What an amazing GIFT!All those who believe and receive His glorious Gift will live eternally with Him.They will not have to face the wrath that those who ignore and /or scoff at Him will receiver ,along with the great deceiver and liar Satan,the Angel who rebelled against His Maker. So,thank you doubly for your help and blessing-both in the physical realm and the spiritual!🤗 Have a GREAT day!!!

[@CleanWithConfidence]

Amen!

[@williamdavis9562]

It's interesting how you kept doing the same section with all these methods. Considering the amount of gunk that came up with the last method. Either the first 4 methods didn't work. Or the solution was essentially ripping off a very small layer of the grout which is what all that junk was. Either way it's a fantastic and very useful video. Was just hard to tell which method works the best since you kept doing the same spot.

[@CleanWithConfidence]

It actually wasn't the same section. I started at the back of the bathroom and worked forward towards the doors with the different methods.

[@dianakuhndel7442]

Throw in the washing machine

[@OgdenM]

@@dianakuhndel7442 , yeap. Only buy/use washable liners and curtains; avoid the cheap plastic stuff. Wash them every two weeks at best and monthly at the worst. Always pull them closed to dry after you shower. If mold or mildew starts to show, wash it more often. Typing this I think is gonna get me to suggest that all my cleaning clients with the cheap plastic curtains replace them with washable ones. Some of my clients have pink mildew growing on the cheap plastic ones that I'm sick of cleaning. You really don't need the cheap plastic sheet stuff. Washable shower curtain liners do a great job of stopping water from getting out of the tub unless you spray water RIGHT AT them for like a foot away.

[@richardgordon245]

Just use peroxide without baking soda .Oxi clean is a form of peroxide.

[@Beautifulmusiclistnr]

I'm sure all these methods work, but the biggest issue is that your grout is dark to begin with. For those of us who had white grout, that is now black grout, which is the best method?

[@CleanWithConfidence]

The grout cleans the same regardless of the color.

[@namename3139]

how to get rid of blech? my parents left a blech bottle under the sink and with no lid, so its open. some say put it down the toilet, but then they make sure all this before you do it.

If you aren't planning on using the bleach to clean with then just pour it out somewhere. Pour it down the toilet or the sink is fine as long as you you arent on septic system.

I am like the rest. Gloves, nitrile or surgical (both allow you to move better). The inside of your hands when you were washing that cloth is red.
