✨ Spread Baking Soda Between the Tiles in Your Home: The Reason Is Incredible!
We all want a sparkling clean home—but there’s one area that often gets overlooked (and can be the toughest to clean): the tile grout. Whether it’s in the kitchen, bathroom, or hallway, those narrow spaces between tiles collect dirt, grime, and stains over time, making your floors and walls look older and duller than they really are.
But what if the solution was sitting in your pantry this whole time? 💡 The secret? Baking soda. Yes, that simple, inexpensive white powder isn’t just for baking or absorbing fridge odors—it’s a powerful natural cleaner, especially when it comes to your tile grout.
🧼 Why Baking Soda Works So Well on Tile Grout
- Mildly abrasive: Helps lift stubborn dirt without scratching tiles
- Naturally deodorizing: Neutralizes musty smells in damp areas like bathrooms
- Non-toxic: Safe for homes with kids and pets
- Budget-friendly: Costs pennies per use compared to store-bought cleaners
Combined with a little water or vinegar, baking soda forms a paste that clings to grout lines and draws out years of buildup. And the results? Bright, refreshed tiles and grout lines that look brand new.
🛒 What You’ll Need
- Baking soda
- Water or white vinegar
- An old toothbrush or grout brush
- Spray bottle (optional)
- Gloves (optional, for sensitive skin)
🧪 How to Use Baking Soda on Tile Grout
Method 1: Baking Soda + Water (For Regular Cleaning)
- Mix a paste: Combine 3 parts baking soda with 1 part water until it forms a spreadable paste.
- Apply: Spread the paste along the grout lines using your fingers or a brush.
- Scrub gently: Use an old toothbrush to work the paste into the grout.
- Let it sit: Leave it on for 10–15 minutes to let the baking soda do its job.
- Rinse and wipe: Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe away the paste. Rinse with warm water.
Method 2: Baking Soda + Vinegar (For Deep Cleaning)
- Follow the same steps as above, but instead of water, spray white vinegar directly onto the baking soda paste after applying it to the grout.
- The mixture will fizz and bubble—this reaction helps lift deeper stains and grime.
