If you have tile in your home — whether in the kitchen, bathroom, or entryway — then you know the truth:
The tiles might stay clean, but it’s the grout that tells the real story of life lived.
That once-pristine white grid between your tiles slowly turns gray.
Then brown.
Then somewhere between “old” and “mysterious.”
And no matter how much you mop…
It never really comes clean.
Until now.
Let’s explore a simple, all-natural solution that can bring your grout back to life — using ingredients most of us already have in the pantry.
This one comes from Facebook user Paula May Calder , who shared her homemade grout-cleaning hack that’s not only effective — it’s safe, affordable, and deeply satisfying.
๐งฝ Why Grout Gets So Dirty (And Why It Matters)
Grout is porous — like tiny little sponges between each tile.
That means:
It absorbs spills fast
Traps dust, soap scum, and dirt
Becomes a breeding ground for mildew
And because we walk over it, splash on it, and rarely give it the love it deserves…
It gets stained.
It fades.
It looks tired.
But here's the good news:
With the right mix, you don’t need a steam cleaner or expensive store-bought sprays.
You just need water.
Baking soda.
Lemon juice.
Vinegar.
Together, they create a powerhouse cleaning solution that lifts years of buildup — naturally.
