Best way to clean tile grout on the floor?


Kitchen and hall are really dirty.


Bathroom is black in areas.


Was told CLR was good for removing mold

If it's that bad just call a tile cleaning company and let them come in and blast it with their steamers and brushes.

Steam - either a steam mop or hire a guy for a little more.

Vinegar will get it clean, its not great for the grout if it is unsealed however.

Yes, vinegar will clean the dirty grout. Mix it with water 50/50.
For the black grout in the bathroom, I suggest Mold and Mildew Zep. Not the soap scum Zep. It works very well.

I used to use oxyclean and a toothbrush then reseal. It’s messy though. Now I use grout pens and seal right over it. Looks brand new.

This is what I did and would highly recommend.

I make a concoction of baking soda and vinegar. Apply it to the grout and let it sit for a few minutes then scrub it off with a toothbrush. Wait for it to dry and then reseal with the grout pen.

Works everytime

Stanley Steamer was very reasonable when I used them after the flood

Half cup baking soda, half cup hydrogen peroxide, 1/2 teaspoon of dawn liquid.
Stir, place it on the grout, let sit 10 mins, brush off, wash off residue.

Years ago someone in a similar thread mentioned using toilet bowl cleaner (lysol brand i think). It was a blue or green gel that is applied to the grout lines. Easy to apply, let sit, then scrub with a small narrow brush. Check out youtube....there's before and after videos.

We tried it and it worked perfectly.

Good luck

Are you sealing the grout afterwards?
