DuraCeramic tile is designed to resemble ceramic tile, only with the easy-cleaning and heavy-duty wear features of laminate tile. And, just like ceramic tiles, DuraCeramic tiles are held in place by grout. No matter what you do to prevent it from happening, grout gets dirty. Whether mud and dirt get tracked in by pets, or the dirt accumulates from everyday use, it must be cleaned. Thankfully, you don't have to use fancy grout cleaning solutions, because the simple, homemade ones work just as well.

Step 2

Soak the rag in the bleach solution, wring it out and then rub the solution onto the floor applying it directly to the grout. Re-soak the rag as needed. Repeat until all of the floor grout has been covered.
