How To Clean Tile Grout

This is something that I get asked about quite often .. how to get clean tiles and tile grout naturally without harsh chemicals.

Two of my favourite go-to products for this are our Green Goddess Premium Double Strength White Vinegar and peppermint or rose cleaning paste. Together, they make an effective (and natural) team for tackling stubborn grime.

Put a good dollop of paste onto an old toothbrush, spray the grout and the brush with neat double strength white vinegar (regular white vinegar is not strong enough for tough cleaning jobs).

Then add the paste to a scrubbing brush and scrub the tiles, spray the area with white vinegar and scrub again.

The mixture will start to bubble which will help to lift soap scum and clean the grout and tiles as you scrub. Add more vinegar if needed.

If cleaning a shower or sink wipe over the rest of the area with paste and vinegar on a cloth. Clean everything down with warm water and leave to dry.

To clean shower glass use the paste and vinegar mix on a cloth, wipe over the area very well, clean off. Then make a solution of 50/50 white vinegar and water, spray onto the glass and squeegee off for a streak-free finish.

If you have silicon grout that has gone black this method will clean the surface but won’t remove mould that has permeated the silicon, you’ll need to redo it if this has happened.
