Homemade Grout Cleaner With Bleach

Step 1

Mix the baking soda and bleach together in the bowl until it forms a thick paste.

Step 2

Apply the paste to the dirty grout lines. Be sure it covers the grout lines entirely; if it's too thin it will slide down the walls.

Step 3

Let the paste sit for 15 minutes.

Step 4

Work the paste into the grout lines with a scrub brush, paying careful attention to any discolored areas. (Don't scrub the paste away entirely–make sure the paste is still covering the grout lines after you scrub.)

Step 5

Let the paste sit for at least another 15 minutes, or longer if your grout is really dirty.

Step 6

Rinse the paste off of your tile and grout with clean water and a rag.
