Cleaning Shower Tiles And Grout With Vinegar

How to clean grout with vinegar and baking soda.

Cleaning shower tiles and grout with vinegar.

Shower tile grout cleaner 1 2 cup baking soda 1 4 cup hydrogen peroxide 1 teaspoon dish soap medium bowl sponge scrub brush. Before cleaning shower tiles run the shower on a high temperature to open the tile s pores and make them easier to clean. As mentioned bleach is very powerful but you have to use it with caution on tile grout. Let the solution set for 5 minutes then scrape with a bristle brush and rinse with warm water.

Add some vinegar and mix together until you have a mixture that is thick enough to call a paste. Scoop baking soda into a mixing bowl. Start with water and a stiff brush and if that doesn t do the trick try an oxygen cleaner or a mix of baking soda and vinegar followed by brushing. Slowly mix the dawn and vinegar together by gently shaking or moving the spray bottle.

It can also bleach out tiles depending on the tile material. So only use it sparingly once a month is plenty and dilute it with water before applying. For a stronger cleaner warm your vinegar in the microwave before adding to the spray bottle. Add essential oils and stir again.

Pour the vinegar and dish soap into a glass spray bottle and shake well to combine. Shake the bottle to mix the ingredients. After 10 minutes turn off the water and spray the tiles with a solution of equal parts water and white vinegar. Go easy though grout is less durable than the tile it s holding together and harsh cleaners like bleach can erode it.

The amount depends on the amount of homemade grout cleaner you need for the amount of tile you have but it. Be careful how hard you shake the mixture as it will produce lots of bubbles and be hard to spray. Add equal amounts of water and white vinegar to a spray bottle. Step 2 spray a small section of grout.

Deep stains may call for replacing the grout altogether. Shake the solution before each use as the oils will separate.
