Cleaning grout can be a difficult task when you are not using the proper cleaning products. Many cleaning products contain chemicals that either discolor or eat in grout and tile surrounds. When it is necessary to clean the grout surfaces in your home, do not use a chemically based chlorine bleach, but instead of using a natural oxygen whitener that quickly raises any build-up of dirt from the mortar or tile.
Instructions
1 Mix 2 gallons of hot water with 2 cups of oxygen bleach. Wear gloves to protect your hands.
2 Immerse an all-purpose scrub cleaning brush in the lye/water mixture and use it to scrub your tile grout.
3 Scrub until there is no remaining residue or buildup signal, but keep the area moist with a cleaning solution until all grout is cleaned.
4 Rinse the bucket and fill it again with hot water.
5 buches with a rag in the water, and pass over the grout and tile to remove the oxygen bleach as well as the raised dirt from your tile grout. Let the tile and the dry air grout.
