I'm a professional tile/grout cleaner and we use straight 3% peroxide (15% concentration works faster) and it actually bubbles up within five minutes and wipes like new. Want it faster? use a scrubber brush. We spray on the Peroxide and no need to get on your knees. You can add in the baking soda which is used as a scrubber agent but frankly not needed since it's a mess to clean up. Mop up hot water rinse twice. >>>>>Don't forget to use grout sealer when dried.

[@sharonmayer5879]

Love the cleaning hack for the shower. I have a suggestion to make rinsing the shower easier for you--remove the wall shower head and in its place install a handheld shower head. The long hose on the hand held allows you to rinse all the shower walls by simply aiming the shower head wherever you want. I discovered handheld shower heads years ago and would never looked back.

[@AndreaJean]

Yes a handheld one would be nice 👍 thanks!

[@andreaellis2243]

I like it

[@thinkingimpaired5663]

If you're in the kitchen there's a dog wash sprayer hose attachment that fits on the sink faucet or in the bathroom the shower head that's useful and removable.

[@AndreaJean]

You are the sweetest ❤️ you too Norma 👍

[@stillthisappeal]

I think you really need to use a grout brush (or toothbrush) to see what these chemicals can do. I worry about the longterm effects of bleach on tile unless it's rinsed and would probably prefer the other two. Also, as a general rule, don't use different cleaners right next to one another! I know that they were benign and in small amounts here, but plenty of people have gotten hurt from mixing ammonia and bleach.

[@hazelwears8728]

Your EXACTLY RIGHT to inform her of that and not to mention she's pregnant too! Nice advice. Bleach and ammonia are a severely toxic GAS when combined! Surprised I have a brain and lungs left.

[@kayk2956]

Toilet bowl cleaner goes a long way. If anyone wants to use it on their grout they should use an old toothbrush to spread it out. It also leaves residue that requires extra work to get it off. I clean my downstairs floors once a week. I move all the furniture so I can clean under it. In the kitchen I always leave longer lines on my appliances because it’s crazy easy to pull them forward and clean the floor under them. It’s also nice to clean the sides of the oven and refrigerator. I clean in sections and pour a little bit of lemon Lysol on the floor with a little bit of water. I use my Home Depot scrub brush and scrub my floors. Then I spray 409 in the grout and use a toothbrush brush to scrub it up. I throw a couple of my big rags on my shoulder so I have them to wipe everything up. I also use 409 and a toothbrush on my baseboards. You spray a section then run the toothbrush over it and wipe it up with a rag. That is the easiest part and clean baseboards make a room look cleaner. She mentioned in her video that she hadn’t cleaned her floors for like a year and a half. Maybe she meant deep cleaning but that is too long to not clean your floors..Once you start cleaning an area and clean it routinely it is easier to keep it up. I have my handicap son who will scoot around the house on his bottom and his hands are almost always on the floor. I can’t have dirty floors or cleaning products that leave a residue. We have a 90 pound malamute who is getting old and she will drip pee onto the floor. She has bad hips and being a big dog it is harder for her to get up. I also have 3 other kids who are getting older and they have friends in and out of the house all the time. We live in a dry dusty area and just leaving the windows open will bring in a lot of dirt. Then there are the cats. With everything going on in our house it is always dirty and I will try almost anything. But as of now I’m sticking to my current routine. It’s a good routine and I have an inexpensive steamer which I use whenever I can. The steam cleaner gets some of the stains out of our couches and works great on things like kitchen chairs and the tracks on our sliding doors. It also doesn’t require any cleaning products which is cheaper for me and better for my son.

[@jacquelynndoeller3037]

Toilet bowl cleaner literally eats away the sealant and the grout over time. I definitely do not recommend doing this.

[@suzannakashima4883]

Used to clean my grout. Never again. Yes it not only did a job on my grout but also changed the color of my tiles.

[@KC-lv4so]

Something wrong with your elbows? A little elbow grease and a grout brush will really clean up your grout when using Oxi Clean.

[@mjp5129]

I used the toilet bowl cleaner, Lysol, because it’s not supposed to etch your tile. I used a broom after letting it sit for 15 minutes. Came out fantastic. I have tried Dawn, baking soda and vinegar, but had to scrub vigorously and more than once. Toilet bowl cleaner is the way. Good video. Thanks

[@martacolmenares6780]

I tested a small ares and w as equally amazed with the ease and astounding results. Thank you so much for this! The other mixtures have not worked for me either in the past and with lots of scrubbing. I have had my grout professionally cleaned and it was very expensive. I have lots of tile, but will do little by little with no effort and save lots of money$$$

[@AndreaJean]

That is wonderful!! Thanks Marta ✨

[@barbibrewerhaase6571]

Toilet bowl cleaner should always be used with gloves, highly caustic, and should never be mixed with vinegar or hydrogen peroxide

[@matts2488]

Out of curiosity why would i not mix it with hydrogen peroxide?

[@SimplySarah760]

@@matts2488 it'd probably give off some harmful fumes. Even if you can't smell it ... I did something like this by accident once. Lol 😆 don't mix dish soap and LA's totally awesome cleaner .... smelled like ammonia based boxed hair colour 😷

[@toypianokeys]

I have found that bleach over time will discolor the grout so that some areas are darker and lighter. It lifts the original color of the grout unevenly over time. Hydrogen peroxide lifts but only as light as the original color. However, with the hydrogen peroxide you'll need to scrub with a grout brush or toothbrush, but you'll also have undamaged, beautiful grout for many years.

[@promisepenton6669]

But couldn’t you do it once and then seal it? I never sealed mine and I found the toilet bowl cleaner to be very effective. Was hoping to use it as a redo since I never sealed…

[@yazyou3329]

Hydrogen peroxide plus white vinegar and little bit of baking soda

[@poodles4u]

I bought a grout brush with a long handle so I can stand up straight. I can no longer get down on my hands and knees to scrub with a toothbrush. It made the job so much easier and faster.

[@miriamgreen1518]

Andrea, I had 7 children within 8yrs... 5 pregnancies with 2 sets of twins... my grout was always awful UNTIL my husband ran across this tip. When my children got in trouble their discipline would be cleaning grout!💡 We used baking soda and white vinegar. We applied the baking soda with a fillable ketchup bottle in the grout then went back and sprayed (in a cheap spray bottle) white vinegar on top. Let fizz (I believe fizzing on the grout is what cleans it) and sit for about 10 min then wipe up. Grout would be beautiful, like new. Unfortunately now that my babies/twins are 18yrs I have to pay them to clean it! 😔🤭

[@lifenetfamilyresourcepregn4975]

A word of caution, I used the toilet bowl cleaner in my shower which has white grout -- the grout towards the bottom of the shower now has a blue-ish tinge. I assume it came from the coloring that's in the cleaner. I've tried numerous times to get the blue color off, but nope! It appears to be stained permanently. I guess at the bottom because it had the longest exposure as the cleaner dripped down the wall. It did work well on the top part of the shower walls.

[@sharonlatour6230]

I did that as well, same thing happened.

[@GadgetsGearCoffee]

[@gattamom]

I’ve found hydrogen peroxide useful. However I haven’t had to do grout in shower in over a year: I put a few drops of rea tree oil in a spray bottle, add water . After every shower I spray tiles, and caulk line. The only place that I needed to clean after a year is the corner where I routinely keep shampoo bottle. This year I will move shampoo to a different corner Q shower

[@deborahsbertoli4126]

Exactly. A toothbrush is the answer with any paste you make. It doesn't take much effort but a rag like she uses in the video is practically useless. Also, doing a section at a time when it's this dirty makes it easier cleanup, too.

I use baking soda with white vinegar. Wait about 10 minutes after applying. The baking soda reacts to the acid in the white vinegar. Use an old toothbrush for scrubbing. Wipe clean and rinse with clean damp cloths, and allow to dry. Don’t forget to seal those grout lines with a quality sealer. Sold at Home Depot. A bit pricey for a great sealer, but use a small paintbrush, and seal only the clean grout lines. A little goes a long way.

[@20Leopard]

I am blown away by this! I have tried cleaning the bathroom grout since we moved in a year ago. It was literally black. I have tried everything to get this clean, no go. I was desperate enough to run to Walmart this morning and bought the Clorox fo only $2.37. I rubbed it into the grout really good and left for an hour.

[@fineartlifestyling]

With oxy, it is imperative to activate it with boiling hot water, that is when it is the most effective at cleaning. I find by the time I mix the water with the oxy it cools too quickly and so doesn’t quite perform as well as it does say in a large container of hot water when soaking dirty laundry. It remains in its crystallised form so just not great for grout cleaning. A mr. clean magic eraser is absolutely the best!

[@donnaallgaier-lamberti3933]

I looked at this video because I am about to do this on my kitchen tile as well. I have also used straight peroxide in my shower floor tile grout. I poured it on and let it sit or several hours.

May I recommend that after all that work you invest in Grout Sealant. It will help repel dirt, oils and other grime for at least a year and sometimes more (depending on the quality of the grout sealant used). We did our house tiles a year ago under COVID and we too found the same results that you did but we also used a brush. Our 25 year old tile grout looked almost brand new, it was incredible and it still looks clean.

[@lorrainefox6774]

If you put the toilet bowl cleaner with bleach and leave it about 30 minutes, then wipe it up. Then wipe it up, it should remove it. If it’s absorbed by the grout, try liquid bleach for about a minute then wipe it up. But you have to seal that grout. It will absorb everything if it’s not sealed

I'm really enjoying your videos and the unexpected boost of enthusiasm to clean! It occurs to me one easy method for distributing the mistures of peroxide and baking sode, etc., might be to put it in a squeeze bottle (like a mustard dispenser) as this would keep the dispensed concoction narrow. Just a thought. Thanks, Andrea Jean. I'm looking forward to exploring more of your offerings.

[@lecanarddor3925]

ME TOO!

I thought of that as well. Use a squeeze bottle with a thin bead & a more liquid solution. Then use a long handled brush after waiting 15 minutes. It's dangerous using a lot of bleach in a closed area.

Something she failed to consider is that the toilet bowl cleaner has an ingredient in it to break down calcium, which grout contains! She actually should, after cleaning, put down a new grout coating of sealer, which also helps prevent yucky grout lines as well.

Linda McDonald looks like you watched the same thing… this IS life!

[@Trebor1029]

Toilet bowl cleaner is so much easier! Works very well, not so messy! I used it like she did, after wiping up the dirty cleaner I hit it with a steam cleaner them wiped up again with towel. Then cleaned entire floor with steam and toweled dry! Came out excellent!

[@LadyLoriBeautyOver50]

That's amazing...thanks for demonstration.

[@AndreaJean]

Thanks Lori ✨

[@mollyboatwright1684]

This is awesome. I have been using toilet bowl cleaner on grout for a long time! Works so good!

[@AndreaJean]

Yes! Thanks Molly 👍

[@heatherg9297]

Just did mine with Bar keepers friend and then sprayed a mixture of water, dish soap, and a little white vinegar. Didn’t have to scrub much at all! Try it!

[@AndreaJean]

Perfect! Thanks Heather ✨

[@TheBee882]

Would this work for the tub as well?

[@heatherg9297]

It does! Give it a try!

[@warriorcatlovers9454]

@@TheBee882 if u do not have a porcelain tub the Clorox with gel bleach works wonders

[@sandygarcia8972]

Bar keepers friend with magic eraser works great on shower doors n super dirty bathtubs...otherwise I just use tilex. Spray, let sit for about 10-15 minutes, then rinse, works great

[@claytonmeador8382]

Ive used Shout...fabric remover product...since the early 80's....and it's worked real well for me thru the years...👍👍

[@AndreaJean]

Thanks for the idea Clayton!

[@essejd]

Impressed too👍

[@gloriawright7460]

Thanks Andrea, I love your video presentation especially the different Products you used to demonstrate to us each product results. Wished more people would demonstrate full length like you.

[@KarrieTruman]

Loved this video!! Thanks for doing this test, it's so interesting!

[@AndreaJean]

Thanks so much Karrie ✨

[@sherrymerrill6317]

I would add dish soap with the baking soda and peroxide. That’s what I use for stains on all kinds of surfaces and it always works.

[@AndreaJean]

What a fun combo! Thanks ❤️

[@8bit.the.cosplayer]

How much of each?

[@bobbivaneman1584]

Thank you so much. Great video. God bless you. ➕

You too ❤️

With a teething 7mth old and 4 other kids I don't want to spend time which I don't have scrubbing, thank you for sharing I can't wait to try this as soon as I can 🙂

[@user-mk2xh3wj8u]

Do it again with less product and use a brush on all 3. I have used all three and others and I did not get the same result you got. I will stick to my Hydrogen peroxide, soda and I add a little of Dawn. Is not easy and it takes of lot of strength, something I am short off.

[@courtneyalbeck8534]

Im not sure if its safe so if u try this MAKE SURE YOU HAVE OPEN WINDOWS! I use the same toilet bowl cleaner as she does. As well as a super power oxi clean! And i do actually scrub. And it works WONDERS!

[@kaseyreynolds5296]

I use the toilet bowl cleaner, let sit for 5 min and scrub and wipe away. Works amazing

[@mardiyagardad8304]

Thanks for the experiment!

[@AndreaJean]

Thank you!! It was so much fun 👍

When I bought my new home 20 years ago I went to home hardware and applied a grout protector with a toothbrush to the grout through out the house and they look new.

[@tombournique]

If you have a sonic cleaning toothbrush, save one of the old brushes and use it to scrub the grout lines after applying the liquid. Just rub it back and forth while it's vibrating and it will foam up or break the oxiclean or baking soda mixture so you don't get the clumps. Then get a rag and a 5 gallon bucket of hot water and rinse the rag out after you do each section.

[@colleenjohnson4116]

For grout, it’s very important when mopping your floors that you change the water often. If the bucket water turns the slightest shade of gray, dump it out and use fresh hot water. Otherwise, all that gunky dirty water will be absorbed by the grout over time.

[@AndreaJean]

Absolutely!! I had to go over this several times 👍

[@trumpneedstodiealongwithidiots]

Dumb ass no ! Grout is sealed for a reason why fuck it up? Knowledge first!

I have a disabled son who has a hard time walking. He will sit and scoot around the house which means I have to clean my floors. I clean my floors once a week and that includes under the furniture and appliances. Using any cleaner like comet, bar keepers friend, baking soda etc. will require a lot of extra work cleaning the residue. I have a brush from Home Depot that I love. After I throughly sweep and vacuum the tile and wood floors I start cleaning one section at a time. I use Lysol and my scrub brush on everything. I love the smell of lemon Lysol and that is why I use it. I put a little bit of water on the floor with my Lysol and scrub a section at a time. Then I spray a little bit of 409 on the grout and use a toothbrush to clean it. I don’t need to scrub very hard because I consistently clean. After I finish that I wipe it up with a rag. My son is usually home when I clean and he makes it hard because he is afraid of wet floors and he likes all of my attention. That’s why I started cleaning a section at a time. When the floors are done I like to spray the baseboards with 409. I use the toothbrush and hit the baseboards with it and then wipe it up with a rag. It is super easy and doesn’t take a long time. When it comes to windows I use car wax. I put it on the windows, sliding doors and mirrors. As soon as I am done putting it on I go back to where I started and wipe it off. Sometimes after I clean my counters I will wax them. They are so nice and smooth after that. I will also wax my oven door, microwave door, refrigerator and dishwasher. It’s amazing and you have no streaks. I use Dawn power wash spray and my steamer for my stove top and the inside of my microwave. I use vinegar and water on certain areas that have hard water. For my shower doors I make a paste with vinegar and baking soda. Let it sit as long as possible before you clean it. We have hard water where I live and hard water is a problem. When I don’t use my steamer I just use the dawn soap. It’s amazing and it will cut through the grease buildup on top of the microwave which sits over the stove.

[@leonaharris8795]

I will try that in my shower which is all tile

[@bee1boyd970]

I love using a hot water tile/ grout steamer machine that we rent from Home depot. It took a while to do the whole living room and kitchen but No chemical used and leaves the grout clean and new looking for months.

[@AndreaJean]

Now that sounds like fun 😋

[@nancywheat444]

I looked on Home Depot website but couldn't find it :(

[@bee1boyd970]

In Florida, you can rent a Tile and Grout Steam Cleaner from your local Home Depot.

[@lindahill1199]

The main thing is after you get it cleaned is to put on a sealer to keep it that way. The grout changes color from dirt & spills. The dirt gets in the cracks and lays there and then when mixed with mopping becomes mud then dries and lays there gradually turning darker over time. That's what was explained to me by a tile guy. If you don't reseal, it keeps coming back.

[@bee1boyd970]

Thank you for the additional information. Great stuff!!!

[@carlysheree3130]

Great video! Your tiles and grout look exactly like mine

[@chery8058]

Used the clorax gel.. it worked well.

[@songbirdisland]

Good Videos Andrea Jean! I like the results you got with the toilet bowl cleaner with bleach, however, some of us can not tolerate breathing in chlorine bleach fumes. I have had excellent results with Hydrogen peroxide, but I use it in the form of Nature Clean brand, liquid Hydrogen Peroxide Bleach, on floor-tile grout. But, I do not mix it with baking soda. Personally, I am not a fan of cleaning with baking soda for most surfaces because of the messy product residue clean up and rinsing required. Because the floor is a flat horizontal surface you can just pour/spray the Hydrogen Peroxide alone into the grout lines, wait for 20 to 40 minutes depending on the dirt condition of the grout. Then mop up.

[@AndreaJean]

Thank you ❤️

[@artfullofheart1]

P.S. I just save the application bottle with the spout from hair dye to put the hydrogen peroxide in or go to the dollar store and get one. Just hold the bottle at an angle and let the peroxide go along the gout line. Easy to control depending on how angled you hold the bottle.

[@AndreaJean]

Thanks!

[@miichaelhickey]

OK Andrea Jean you got me hooked. I have seen lots of your vids and love most for their simplicity. I have tile floors in both bathrooms. In all honesty there were redone 11yrs ago. Yep lets just say not clean. I am widowed and live alone except for the Black Dog. In your test I was amazed at the ease of cleaning the grout and the tile floor. So I ran my own test, I am older and getting down on my hands and knees is difficult. I also used a broom and Clorox Cleaner + Bleach (spray) and a Bona mop handle and clean towels. I sprayed the stuff on the floor and the grout and used the stiff broom to get into the cracks and crevices and generally spread it around. Let it sit for about 15min while I watched another "hack" of yours and went back and put the towels on the Bona mop and wiped it up. The results were amazing, the floor looks like new and so does the grout. No real effort involved and the floor is like new. Thanks for your channel and getting me hooked.

The baking soda and peroxide works but it needs time to dry. My floor grout was like charcoal grey when I moved in. My counters' white grout was real dingy too. I scrubbed the counters so hard I wore away some grout! So I was on a mish to find a way to restore their former color. The toilet cleaner is nice but pets and kids don't like to listen about not touching areas and so if they walk in it and track it it's bad news bears. It also kinda leaves that slick residue that bleach inherently has that takes a number of wipes to remove. The soda/h2o2 I found worked wonders in just the first go bringing the charcoal floor grout caked w/ ground in dirty back to it's original beige color. I just made a few modifications to the technique--I sprinkle the soda w the side of a spoon in the grout and then go around and spray h2o2 on all the soda lines. LET IT DRY. I think that's part of the magic. Once dry I go back and spritz to rewet (I originally used water but I figured more h2o2 = more cleaning power lol). I use a toothbrush and just need a very light scrub (vs the grill grade scrubber and serious arm workout I was prev accustomed to). As I scrub a square I wipe it with a damp wash cloth and a bucket or if u really have time you can let it dry again and vacuum all the soda and just wipe the remnants w a hot damp rag.

[@carolgoering6585]

I have a rug doctor carpet cleaner. I use the hand held upholstery attachment to rinse and suck away all the dirt and cleaner when I clean my grout.

[@AndreaJean]

Nice!
