This is a effective and cheap way to make an organic grout cleaner to clean your bathroom tiles. As an added bonus it is also safe for your whole family and environmentally friendly.

What you need- Salt, Baking Soda, Water, and One or Two Lemons.

Direction for making an organic grout cleaner.  In a small bowl or cup, mix equal parts of salt and baking soda. Add just enough water to it to make a thick paste. With a soft or medium brush apply to tile walls and grout. This scrubbing paste should help you remove the crud on the tile and the grout. Then wipe off with a wet sponge. It you have any discoloration in the grout apply lemon juice to it. Let is sit for a 10-15 minutes. This should remove some of the stain and help the grout retain its original color.

The salt in cleaning the mixture allows you to gently scrub even hard to reach places. The baking powder whitens a little as it cleans and both of them together act as a disinfectant.

Be careful not to procrastinate tile and grout cleaning to long because it only gets harder to clean the longer you wait.

For cleaning kitchen grout be sure to remove as much of the grime as possible out of the grout before starting. For a deeper cleaning you may want to let the paste sit for a few minutes before scrubbing.

In the bathroom, you may also want to use a separate general disinfectant. Vinegar is a great option as it has been proven to kill 99% of bacteria. Just fill a spray bottle and spray it on. However, recently studies have shown that using Hydrogen Peroxide 3% (the regular supermarket variety) after an application of vinegar is even more effective. A last solution you can use is Borax. Use ½ cup Borax to 1 gallon hot water. You can actually also put ½ cup Borax into 1 gallon vinegar to increase the effectiveness of the vinegar. A last solution is 2T Borax, ¼ cup lemon & 2 cups hot water. Any of these are a great all natural organic grout cleaners and disinfectants.
