Use a handheld steam cleaner for deep cleaning without chemicals.

The heat loosens dirt and kills bacteria at the same time.

5. Toothpaste

Non-gel white toothpaste works surprisingly well.

Apply to grout lines, scrub with an old toothbrush, rinse thoroughly.

6. Oxygen Bleach Powder

Mix oxygen bleach with warm water.

Apply to grout, let sit for 10–15 minutes, then scrub.

Safe for colored grout and tiles.

7. Ammonia Solution (Use with Caution)

Mix ½ cup ammonia with 1 gallon warm water.

Apply to grout, scrub, then rinse thoroughly.

Wear gloves and ensure good ventilation.

8. Steam + Baking Soda Combo

Sprinkle baking soda on grout, then use a steam mop over it.

The steam softens grime while baking soda scrubs and deodorizes.

9. Vinegar Spray

Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle.

Spray on grout, let sit 5 minutes, then scrub.

Avoid on natural stone tiles like marble, as vinegar can etch them.

10. Magic Eraser

A melamine foam eraser can scrub away stains with minimal effort.

Wet it slightly, rub along grout lines, and watch stains lift.

💡 Pro Tips:

Always scrub in a circular motion for the best results.

Seal your grout after cleaning to prevent future dirt buildup.

For extremely dirty grout, combine hacks (like baking soda + hydrogen peroxide + steam).
