Three Fantastic Tools to Clean Grout With
Posted on | November 17, 2009 | No Comments
Any task can seem insurmountable, especially when you aren’t well equipped to deal with it. When you look at a dirty corner of your kitchen floor that’s been neglected for years, all you see is this intense, deep stain that seems impossible to clean. Maybe you’ve tried expensive cleaners from the store, but still the stains remain. Just like any job, you need the proper tools. Here I will describe three different tools that will aid you in your quest to clean your grout.
Tool #1: Steel Headed “toothbrush”
At a store like Home Depot, ask the person for a brush that resembles a larger toothbrush, but has bristles of steel. These bristles shouldn’t be too thick and still be flexible. But using this tool with the magic of baking soda can make a world of a difference when cleaning your grout.
Tool #2: Tough sponges or scrubbers for dishes
At the grocery store, check out the area where the dishwashing liquid and sponges are. You should see a variety of sponges and cloths. Find ones that look tough enough to handle the stains, but depending on your tile, you might want to find some that won’t scratch the tile. Softscrub sells great sponges designed to not scratch dishes but do a great job of cleaning them on one side, and they also work great for grout.
Tool #3: Pencil Eraser
Depending on the type of stain or dirt you have, the solution could be as easy as back in elementary school! Try using a pencil eraser to remove stains. You can try small ones on the backs of pencils or you can use the larger handheld erasers.
These are just a few tools that I’ve found useful to clean grout, feel free to leave comment on what works for you!
