How to Clean Grout in 10 Minutes or Less
If grime, germs, and mildew have moved into bathroom, this might be the best time to learn how to clean tile grout for your bathroom and shower. This is by no means a comprehensive guide, but it should at least put you back in charge of your bathroom. We will teach you how to clean tile showers, counter tops, splash boards, and tile grout on any floor.
Cleaning Shower Tile and Grout. This is where I begin when cleaning my bathroom. As I have a small bathroom, cleaning my shower is about 1/3 of the work and gets me off to a great start. To get started, wet every thing down. It works great if you have a flexible shower head; if not just use a bucket, a large cup, or a spray bottle (just work fast). Using an organic paste, vinegar, or a store bought disinfectant, and a sponge, wipe tiles until they are smooth to the touch. Before you start there is probably a grimy texture from soap build up. Make sure you compare & the tiles are smooth so you know you have gotten it all.
Next you will work on the grout. Spray it with a grout cleaner or use an organic grout cleaning paste. A bristled scrub brush is what I like to use, but you can also use the abrasive side of a sponge or other soft scrubber. For hard to reach crevices, an old toothbrush is great, it works especially well around the fixtures in the shower & bath. If you have some really small crevices that not even a toothbrush can reach, a great tool to use is a butter knife with a cloth on top, or a toothpick.
You can quickly finish off the rest of the bathroom with a vinegar solution (one to one vinegar to water). First, clean the metal fixtures in the bath & shower. Glass surfaces should cleaned next, you can use a store bought glass cleaner or the vinegar solution. Next quickly wipe down the sink, floor & toilet in that order (with a quick swish of the toilet brush for inside – don’t forget to spray off the toilet brush with your vinegar solution to disinfect when your through). And finish off with ½ cup of bleach or vinegar down the sink to break up any hair or other dirt blocking that is inevitably in the drain.
