Cleaning the bathroom and kitchen can be a real drag, especially when you’re up against stubborn grout stains.
Whether it’s the shower grout turning a nasty shade of yellow and growing mould or floor grout caked in black dirt, a cleaning guru has revealed her quick “five-minute” fix.
Carolina Mccauley took to TikTok to show off her method for blitzing grout without splashing out on fancy cleaning products.
She captioned her TikTok video claiming this mix uses “the best grout cleaning combo”.
For this nifty trick, you’ll need one cup of baking soda, half a cup of hydrogen peroxide, and one tablespoon of washing-up liquid.
In the video, Carolina demonstrates how to whip up the mixture using baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, and dish soap in a bowl.
Baking soda isn’t just a household staple for its deodorising and whitening properties, it’s also a top-notch natural cleaner for grout.
Thanks to its mild abrasive qualities, baking soda can tackle grout without leaving scratches on your tiles.
Hydrogen peroxide is another versatile agent that excels at getting rid of grout discolouration.
It’s a safer bet than vinegar for grout care, as it won’t eat away at it over time, and it’s a gentle disinfectant that’s safe when used properly.
After mixing up the solution, Carolina used a measuring cup to distribute it along the grout lines.
She followed up with a grout brush, gently scrubbing the solution into the grout.
For those who don’t have a grout scrubbing brush to hand, an old toothbrush would suffice
To finish off, the cleaning influencer went in with a damp microfibre cloth to wipe away the solution.
Once the area had been wiped down, the once-stained dark grey grout appeared lighter and stain-free.
