### **Step-by-Step Cleaning Method:**
#### **1. Mix Your Miracle Solution**
In a small bowl, mix baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, and dish soap. This trio is the ultimate grime fighter:
– **Baking soda** acts as a gentle abrasive
– **Hydrogen peroxide** whitens and disinfects
– **Dish soap** cuts through grease and lifts dirt
Once mixed, pour it into your mop bucket and dilute with warm water (about 1 gallon).
#### **2. Pre-Treat the Grout**
Dip your brush into the solution and scrub it directly onto the grout lines. Don’t worry about perfection—just give it a once-over to loosen embedded dirt. Let it sit while you mop the rest of the floor.
#### **3. Mop the Floor Thoroughly**
Dip your mop into the same solution and clean the entire floor. This not only lifts dirt from tiles but also helps the solution sink into the grout. Make sure to rinse the mop often to avoid spreading dirt around.
#### **4. Second Pass on Grout (If Needed)**
After mopping, go back to any especially stubborn grout areas and give them a quick second scrub. You’ll be amazed at how much brighter they look already.
#### **5. Rinse and Reveal**
Mop once more with clean water to remove any leftover residue. Allow the floor to air-dry or dry it with a clean towel for an extra shine.
