Lucy asked: How can I clean my stained grout?

Answer:

What you need-
1) Grimy grout
2) Spray bottle with water
3) Cleaning toothbrush
4) Cotton cloth
5) Lemon (optional)

Spray the grout line with water and apply baking soda to create a sort of paste. Let it sit for 15 minutes then re-spray the area with water. Scrub using a cleaning toothbrush until the grout looks clean and wipe away any residue using a cotton cloth. To keep your grout looking clean, visit your local home store and purchase grout sealant to help keep your grout cleaner, longer.

Did you know? Grout, like your skin, has pores. As a result, it absorbs everything. Try to avoid using dirty mop water to prevent your grout lines from discoloring.

**BONUS TIP**

For really dirty grout:
Wet the grout line with lemon, instead of water, and add the baking soda to create a paste. Lemons act as a natural brightener to help get your grout looking clean and new.

good video however what would you suggest to handle the following, 500sq ft of tile and the grout is colored? Would not the baking soda make the grout "white"?

@laheyk, good question. Firstly, an acidic cleaner can permanently damage the pigment in the grout, so keep to pH neutral cleaners for daily maintenance. For thorough scrubbing as demo'd here, try the baking soda trick, but test it on a small part of the tile in an inconspicuous area first. It should work without discoloration, but it depends on your grout make. For a larger space, this method is still OK albeit time consuming. Consider a professional tile cleaner for the job.

@lenkaeltumi thank you! Baking soda is not acidic...you don't need acid to accomplish this task!
