I’ve tried it all – the vinegar, baking soda, peroxide, dish soap and even straight up soft scrub and bleach. Nothing has been able to clean dirty tile grout completely – until now.

Granted, the DIY solutions may work for those who have kept up with tile grout, or have low maintenance grout issues. But when I moved in with my husband, his grout was already black – when the original grout is a light beige. And I will show you the before and after to prove it!

I have finally found the solution that works harder than you will have to. You simply spray it on, scrub gently with a toothbrush and wipe away to reveal a transformation in a matter of seconds. I know I sound like an infomercial, but seriously, I would never have known this product would work if I hadn’t thought of just attempting to try it.

I used this product to clean the grease off my kitchen cabinets (for kitchen cabinet restoration), and this stuff alone strips the oldest paint and set in grease stains. It’s a degreaser and cleaner, so I gave it a go on the grout (I mean, I tried everything else – even other brand-name grout cleaners!). And to my amazement, on the very back of the bottle in tiny print it says “EXCELLENT TILE & GROUT CLEANER”. Score!

Plus, it’s biodegradable, earth friendly and non-toxic. You will love this cleaner so much – it will become a must have to clean dirty tile grout and beyond in your household cleaning regimen.

Guaranteed DIY Solution

To Clean Dirty Tile Grout

[Before And After]

Materials you need:

• Old toothbrush/small scrub brush
• Old cloth towel
• Baking Soda (this is optional: it’s used to create more of a paste instead of liquid)
• 32 oz. Krud Kutter Concentrated Cleaner/Degreaser (depending on sq. ft. you may will need more than one bottle)

Directions:

1. Start in one area, or tile complete tile square, lightly spraying the grout. It doesn’t need to be saturated.
2. If you decide you want to use baking soda (this is only used to create a paste with the concentrated solution), you can pour baking soda into a bowl and add the krud kutter until the solution creates a paste. This can be used for extremely dirty areas where the solution may need to sit longer (and the baking soda scrubs deeper into the grit of the grout). But I only had to use Krud Kutter alone in most areas.
3.  Allow to sit for 15-20 seconds on the grout before scrubbing away with your toothbrush.
4. Watch the magic strip away the dirt in merely seconds! You will be satisfyingly amazed.
5. Once scrubbed, wipe immediately with an old towel to remove dirty solution from sitting on the grout.
