Very white joints in one pass:

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.
