Grout can be cleaned effectively without harsh chemicals, using a couple of simple, natural ingredients most people already have at home.

The bicarb paste method

Mix bicarbonate of soda with a small amount of water into a paste, apply to grout lines, and let sit for 10 to 15 minutes before scrubbing with an old toothbrush.

Adding vinegar

A vinegar spray applied after the bicarb paste creates a gentle fizzing reaction that helps lift ingrained dirt.

Rinse thoroughly

Rinse well after scrubbing, leaving residue behind can attract more dirt over time.

For genuinely stained grout

Deeply discoloured grout sometimes needs professional-grade treatment, see our deep cleaning service for grout and tile detailing.
