UPDATE: This method works great as well as the ease of the solution and the application. Since my floor grout is Snow White,, you cannot expect the grout to come out as a new regrout since that was my original concept. Nonetheless, it is the next best thing. I do not like making a paste, or applying any liquid concoction directly on the grout lines. It's too many steps and way too much work. Here you just dip and scrub, then absorb the lifted dirt with a damp sponge. Using a steam mop afterwards (to lift more dirt) is also beneficial. Then sealing the grout afterwards. Thank you Leah as you've made my Easter Sunday and added bonus. Keep-up the great work !!

Decided to admire the difference and wait for others comments before finishing the main bathroom. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'm a fit senior but this was a real struggle. Learned the only way to clean without bleach and other chemicals that sting my esophagus badly was Scrubbing Bubbles mega foam cleaner and heavy duty brush on my hands and knees rinsing multiple times between waiting the grout to dry with a fan diected at area then all over again at least 4 times in a row.

[@susanp6057]

Leah, you are a life saver. My gray grout on my kitchen counter top, was so dirty that it looked black. I was dreading cleaning it. I had already bought a grout brush for the task, because the build up looked so thick. I mixed the alcohol and liquid detergent mixture and water together and used my grout brush. As I scrubbed with the brush for around 15 seconds the suds turned to dirty suds and then the buildup just flaked off revealing the clean light colored gray grout. I was shocked. Leah, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. You made this task so easy.

[@doubledrats235]

WOW, WOW, WOW! This really works. I tried cleaning the white grout in my tub/ shower using many commercial products but they never worked and were a waste of my time and money. I just followed your instructions and cleaned the dirtiest grout lines in a 2’x3’ area and then rinsed the soap off with the sprayer and dried it all off with a clean dry towel. I let the grout lines dry completely while I did something else. When I came back they were white like the rest of the bathroom grout away from the tub. Now I’ll use your method on the rest of the grout around my tub/ shower and when it’s dry I’ll seal the grout like I should have when it was new. Last week I used a suggestion in another of your videos to remove and replace the silicone sealer between the tub and walls using painters tape to get a neat look. And it looked so good I decided to clean the grout too and have it all look new. Now the sad part. My wonderful wife of almost 40 years showered every morning but would no longer use the bathtub since it looked so disgusting even though it was cleaned. She died three months ago of an aggressive cancer that took her from the E.R. to dying in home Hospice in just three weeks. If I had followed your instructions earlier then she could have enjoyed taking a relaxing bath and I’m so sorry I didn’t do that for her.

[@JosephineMauck]

This is so heartbreaking 😢 I'm so sorry for your loss. I don't know her obviously, but I know a wonderful person wouldn't want you to feel guilty and beat yourself up over the tub. I'm sure she appreciated everything else you did for her. ☺️

[@maidagrujic8489]

I recently had the grout replaced in my bathroom. The person doing it said never use bleach on grout only use methylated spirits to clean the tiles. Methylated spirits is an alcohol with something else in it to make it taste bad. So because I had a spray bottle in my bathroom I decided to adapt this idea. The grout on my floor kitchen tiles in some areas was very dirty. I simply sprayed the grout with the methylated spirits and I put a little bit of dishwashing detergent on a sturdy brush. I used the brush on the grout and wiped with a wet cloth. I couldn’t believe how easily the grout cleaned. It is amazing. And I know a lot safer than any sort of bleach. So thank you very much I shall look for other hints from your channel. Cheerio from Melbourne Australia..

[@stevehamman4465]

Clean grout then seal twice. Then once a year. Sealer is not a one and done. It is a maintenance issue! Good day.

[@usernamemykel]

Methylated spirits = denatured alcohol, anyone?i

[@maidagrujic8489]

Yes it is. Basically Methylated spirits is diluted alcohol with additives to make taste bad. Can be methanol or denatured alcohol. Don’t brush too hard or you will remove the grout. Grout does have to be sealed and of course this is more work.

That's the solution I've used for years to clean just about everything in the house.

Cleans up everything in a snap, and my bathroom 63-year-old bathroom has never looked better.

[@seejanedrill]

Vinegar is a little high on the ph scale....however it is effective

[@gnarthdarkanen7464]

For what it's worth, both alcohol and vinegar have their places and purposes... If you've got more trouble with hard water, vinegar's acidity will aid in removing the calcified build up, because that's the majority contribution to hard water stains and crust... IF there's more organic material from grease to mildew or what have you, then alcohol is a great organic solvent... The dish soap is for surfactant action, which is to say it makes bubbles that help float the unwanted stuff off and away from the surface so the water can rinse everything away easier... My current bathroom is 90% fiberglass and linoleum... BUT my springbox is a naturally formed limestone basin, so the "well water" is hard as hell... haha... I religiously "clean out" my coffee pots with plain distilled vinegar to break down the scale so they continue to circulate properly... All the soap in the world wouldn't fix that clog. ;o)

@@hazmania4794 Vineger is actually my "go to" for many different cleaners. I keep various strengths and dilute as needed. Best kept secret for washing machines and laundry. Perfect fabric softener with an extra rinse and keeps washing machine from getting gunked up with fabric softener residue. Hate the smell, but rinses away. And Dawn is a miracle worker.

An additional thought, my father was a builder for years one thing he always recommended was when you install tile / grout floors, use the liquid sealant that you normally place ON grout as a "topical" sealant, as the liquid to mix the grout (no water) this makes grout super sealed.

[@shellyf3901]

She always has the best tips and tricks to any situation. And makes any task easy for any skill level. Just make sure after cleaning that you seal the grout with a penetrating sealer not a surface sealer. The penetrating sealer gets absorbed deep into the grout to preserve its appearance and prevents water and mold from being able to get behind the tile. Once a surface sealer wears off then water and mold will get absorbed into the grout forming a deeper penetration in the grout.

[@MsMishkyn]

Good reminder about grout sealer. I've been reading about the various types and there are several that seem quite good. Most recommend doing two coats and doing the sealing every year or so. Sometimes I think the black grout did not look so awful. When I moved into my mother's home to take care of her when she needed help, I had just assumed the black grout was simply a style choice, but as I cleaned, I was stunned at how filthy this "style choice" actually was.

[@sicklecell9999]

HAD to comment! THIS WORKS. I've just spent an hour plus trying different cleaners and custom mixes. They all got my grout lines about 50% cleaner; using Lysol cleaners and other stuff... I was very disappointed. Finally I find this video, I had about ZERO hope it would work any better...but bingo Mamma! It immediately got the same grout that I had just cleaned several times over... completely white. Me so happy! PS: go to any hardware store and buy one of those orange hard plastic brush wheels, they're about 3" in diameter, and use your cordless drill to agitate the grout lines with this formula. way easier than a toothbrush. I wouldn't use a wire brush wheel.

[@knurlgnar24]

Dawn has a high concentration of sulfuric acid making it a more aggressive grout solvent than the commonly used vinegar method. Alcohol helps lower surface tension and increases solubility, helps denature protiens, etc and in nearly every case a water/alcohol mix is a far superior cleaner than straight water with nearly zero risk to yourself, what you're cleaning, or the environment. I use it everywhere. I would suggest to use plenty of water when mopping it up at the end as dish soap will leave a 'sticky' residue that if not removed will result in rapid re-nastifying the very temporarily clean grout.

I don't know where you're getting your information but Dawn does not contain sulfuric acid.

@@yvonnemariane2265 followed the instructions. It didnt change my grout and left a soapy mess on my floor

[@NotSpielberg]

We just tried this and it's the first thing that has ever worked. Thank you!

How timely. I'm faced with dirty grout in a shower I built and was just wondering how to make it bright again. Now I have the information I need. Thanks Leah!

Im definately going to try this. In my home about 2000 square feet of the floor is tile similar to this, and the high traffic areas and kitchen in particular turn dark fast. I have never heard of this solution until now! As for the toothbrush, might I suggest instead a grout cleaning brush on a handle that can be used standing upright? Look on Amazon for many examples of such.

Gotta try this !!! Thank you ! You have some really good tips here on the channel. A value to the community for sure !

Thank you so much Leah. You just saved me a lot of work. Greetings from the UK 🇬🇧

Super tip and timely! I was thinking about this yesterday!! 🤔🤔

[@26Bluegb]

THANK YOU!!!! I just moved into an apartment with a tile entrance and kitchen. The previous tenants weren't good housekeepers. The grout was almost charcoal- turns out it's actually light beige! Love that it's not bleach or some other foul smelling concoction!!!!!

[@cmlaporte62]

The recipe for the cleaning solution you have filmed is much more user friendly than all the bleach based concoctions I have seen before, and easier on the nose!

I just happened upon your vlog when it appeared in the menu list on the far right of my screen, but am delighted that I did! Sincere thanks for this grout cleaning tip, which I will try tomorrow. I also just subscribed to your vlog. God bless your day.

Wow I'm so excited I found your channel! You have so many amazing videos that cover a bunch of things I need to take care of my new home. Thank you for your clear concise and uplifting videos! Excited to try this and the crack tape for stress cracks

[@glong2720]

Tried this and I am so pleased. This is the best cleaner on my floor ceramic grout I have ever used. Again thank you Mam.

[@WDSmith54]

Tip..use the wintergreen alcohol smells so much better. You can also use this for counter tops,toilets and showers and sinks..also instead of a toothbrush most hardware type stores sell grout brushes (but only use those on the grout)

[@GiGi-si9mo]

I have tried so many things on my grout. Some helped a bit but nothing was impressive. I will be trying this. Am hoping for the best. Thank you.

[@EVITAJOHNSON]

I couldn’t believe it!! It took no effort and my grout lines are sparkling white and clean ! Thank you!!!

[@amycaprari9951]

Good idea. I've used Pine Sol with pretty good results as well. But the toothbrush is key.

[@blkrainbow1075]

Thanks Leah! If you then sprayed out grout sealer would it lock in the cleanliness?

[@littleolme9492]

I add my voice to the throng of people saying Thank You Leah!! This worked even better that you promised. I thought it was pretty good when I cleaned the grout, but went back a few hours later and it had whitened even more! If only teeth-whitener worked this well. I didn't even care that it was inexpensive, but it's an added bonus. Wow wow wow. Thanks again!
