How to Achieve Very White Joints in One Pass

  1. Make a Paste: Mix baking soda with a small amount of water to create a thick paste.
  2. Apply the Paste: Spread the paste generously over the grout lines.
  3. Spray Vinegar or Hydrogen Peroxide: Lightly spray white vinegar or hydrogen peroxide over the paste. You’ll notice fizzing—this reaction helps lift dirt and stains.
  4. Let It Sit: Allow the mixture to sit for 5–10 minutes to penetrate the grime.
  5. Scrub Once: Using a stiff-bristled brush, scrub the grout lines with firm, even strokes.
  6. Rinse and Wipe: Rinse the area thoroughly with clean water and wipe dry with a cloth.

Why This Works

  • Baking soda is a mild abrasive that helps scrub away dirt without damaging grout.
  • Vinegar (or hydrogen peroxide) acts as a natural disinfectant and stain remover.
  • The chemical reaction between baking soda and vinegar loosens grime quickly—so one pass is often enough!

Pro Tips for Lasting White Joints

  • Seal your grout after cleaning to protect it from future stains.
  • Regularly clean grout with mild solutions to avoid buildup.
  • Use a steam cleaner for deep cleaning without chemicals.

With this simple technique, you can transform dull, dirty grout lines into bright, very white joints with just one pass—saving you time, effort, and money. Your tiles will look fresher, your room brighter, and you’ll wonder why you didn’t try this sooner!
