Tile grout cleaning

The holiday season is over for 2016, and it is time for some cleaning to start the new year. We would like to share a few tips about cleaning your tile and grout.

The best way to clean grout joints is with a solution of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide. Mix three parts baking soda with one part hydrogen peroxide and make a paste. Spread the paste in the grout joints and let sit for an hour. Use a toothbrush or other soft bristle brush to gently scrub the area, wipe clean with a sponge and warm water.

There are cleaners on the market, but most of the household methods are just as effective and a lot less expensive. Be sure to only use the method we’ve outlined for ceramic or porcelain tile surfaces, marble and other stone require different solutions. Most quality tile supply companies will have special solutions for cleaning natural stone.
