Clean Unsealed Tile Floor Grout

Tile on floor is really beautiful to look at, and to walk on, once it's placed on your kitchen floor, or anywhere else in your house. Unsealed Tile Floor Grout can be very difficult to keep clean. It can also be kind of easy, when you really know how to keep it clean. I had mind cleaned last summer, it's now really beautiful. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

    • 1
      Swiffer

      Sweep away the trash out of the way, with a floor brush, broom, or a swiffer.

      Try a small spot first, to see which product works well enough, the Vinegar & Baking Soda, or the Chlorine Bleach.

      Baking Soda & Vinegar

      Pour enough Baking Soda on the dirty grout, covering the dirt, then pour enough Vinegar over the Baking Soda, enough to make a small volcano. Both Vinegar and Baking Soda together will make a Little Bubbling Volcano.

      If the Baking Soda & Vinegar does not work as well, try pouring Chlorine Bleach instead. You can use a little bit of water with the bleach if you don't like the strong smell of Chlorine.

      Floor Brush

      After letting the little volcano set for a while, scrub it with the Floor Brush, until most of the dirt is gone.

      Or if you used the Chlorine Bleach, instead of the Baking Soda & Vinegar, also scrub the floor with the brush or electric machine.

      Floor Steamer

      If some dirt is still left on the Tile Grout, use a floor steamer to absorb and clean the rest of the dirt inside the tile grout.

      After using the floor steamer, use a wet mop to wipe off the residue from the product you used.

      Let it dry completely, before stepping and enjoying your clean Tile Floor.

Tips & Warnings

  • If you have an electric Floor Scrubber, you can you it on step 3, to scrub it much easier and faster.

  • Do not use the Baking Soda & Vinegar with the Bleach together.

  • Use one set or the other.

    I have tried everything on my unsealed grout. The only product I have found that works is Bar Keepers Friend and a scrub brush dampned with water. I was amazed with the result.
