04/07/24 wowwwwwwwwwwww you are amazing! The dirt came right OUT wow! what I like about YOUR videos is that you use NATURAL cleaners instead of chemicals, high five to ya for that! anddddddddddddd it saves people MONEY .... thank you so much, GREAT demonstration video wow!!!!!!!!!!! great job!
Thank you for your video. Regarding 1:00, for those who are unaware, the mixture of hydrogen peroxide, baking soda and detergent is similar to but not as powerful a cleaner as is a mixture of hydrogen peroxide, washing soda and detergent. This is because Washing Soda (aka sodium carbonate) is a more powerful Alkali than Baking Soda (aka sodium bicarbonate). Hydrogen peroxide + Washing Soda = Sodium Percarbonate which is the Oxygen Bleach in OxiClean. OxiClean itself can be used for cleaning tile grout as well as cleaning many other dirty tasks. Furthermore OxiClean does not have the strong irritating odor from Chlorine Bleach (aka sodium hypochlorite). You can make your own OxiClean by combining hydrogen peroxide, washing soda and detergent.
"This is because Washing Soda (aka sodium carbonate) is a more powerful Alkali than Baking Soda (aka sodium bicarbonate)." SODIUM BICARBONATE IS A MORE POWERFUL ALKALI THAN SODIUM BICARBONATE. Now why did no one realise that before?
@@jonblogondrong4792No, you didn't copy and paste. She said washing soda which is sodium percarbonate is more powerful than sodium bicarbonate. Go back and re-read it🙄
Ok. Give the man his due. This works great. I've tried several different cleaners. Nothing has worked like this. Just got thru cleaning the grout in our guest bathroom. Highly recommend this method. Thanks a ton.
It works!! Thank you!!! I’ve tried different kinds of products and mixtures, this is the one that works the best! Yeah!!! Wish I could send you the before and after pics
I bought a steam cleaner, which does a great job. I’m going to try this, and maybe combine them. I don’t use a bucket for mopping. Instead, I rinse out my mop in my laundry sink so I never use a dirty mop on the floor. If you must use a bucket, have a rinse bucket to keep the mop cleaner. Otherwise, you’re just pushing dirt into the grout.
I use a sponge mop & a towel cloth between floor & mop. Lysol to clean floor. Then I wash the cloth & reuse it. Mop sponge stays really clean, but I rinse it out anyway. This way floor gets clean & mop sponge lasts a long time!! I sometimes use a smaller piece of towel cloth, and do half then use another for the other half, if it's a larger room ( or floor too yucky)
Great recipe for cleaning, because I don't like to use chemical products I will try it. You have a new friend here I love the channel that provides good tips, thank you for your time, and share it with us.💗
With so many Mass murders going on, I can’t even say some stupid joke about well thank God now I know how to get the blood stain removed. Because some creep that’s a jerk is going to think that I’m a mass murderer. I’d like to kick some people in the butt but no blood anywhere. So thank you for your post.

@@MrGizmo211 ok, I’m hitting the 👍🏻 cuz replied and b/c love the channel, not b/c happy you tore bicep etc….as that would be horrible, fyi. Hope doing well as each day passes by and not in excruciating pain, as know that can suck and keep you up at night instead of sleeping. Thx and have a good day😊
@@Aepek yes - it was miserable but I have gotten past most it already and my arm is pretty good again! Ty for your kind words and appreciate you liking the channel!
Hydrogen peroxide is a good first aid too & it just sits past the expiration date & I have to throw it away - Now I shall USE it alllll!? Thanks for the tips!!
Shaking peroxide with baking soda can cause the bottle to explode. And the same mixture is great for deskunking a pet or yourself. What works better is to dampen the grout, place baking soda in the grout and leave it sit. This mixture with a windowsill brush is super good to clean windowsills and patio door tracks. Scrub with brush. Rinse with hose again, squeegee windows.
does the dish detergent have to be "Dawn" specific? or can it be any other brand? I've seen other videos recommend the same thing. So I wasn't sure if there's a chemical in "Dawn" that works better than other dish soaps brands
I imagine any detergent will work just as well. I reckon I must have tried them all over the years, and there is precious little to choose between any of them. It seems the hotter the water, the better any of them work! I think the purpose of the dish soap is just to act as a binder, rather than to contribute anything to the actual cleaning process. As for the hydrogen peroxide, there seem to be two sorts available: 5% and 15% concentration. If you can get the 15%, use that.
Great idea 👏. If you don’t use the entire batch does it keep or should I just make a new batch every time? Thank you for sharing 👍👍. Stay safe healthy and happy ✝️🇺🇸
The pros of the method are natural ingredients and low cost. The cons are the need to mix, need to scrub, and big cleanup. An alternative that is inexpensive and works, and has the added benefits of no mixing, easy to apply, no scrubbing, and just wipe clean is this: Lysol toilet bowl cleaner clinger gel, or the Clorox brand.
To much wastage...you could have mixed all the ingredients and use a spray bottle. Jokes aside I'm so happy to see men interested in cleaning. Finally God is answering our prayers ladies. Just sit and watch 😅
I have very similar looking tile on my shower wall but it has a shiny porcelain finish. Will the baking soda or brush scratch the shiny porcelain finish tile?
It can, it's abrasive. You can try making a mixture that does not include the baking soda. Vinegar itself is a great cleaner, as is dawn dish soap with just water. If these don't work you can purchase a grout knife that is used to remove old grout, but only remove a small amount from the very top surface. As in, scratch away the dirt on the top, leaving new looking grout behind. Then seal it afterwards.
I have stone tile in my shower. How do I get the mixture to stay on the grout on my walls? Also I am a senior, manual labor scrubbing isn’t going to happen with my limited mobility. What scrubbers do you recommend?😊
What a difference. One question what sort of product is Dawn as I live in England and don't know this one. Many thanks for great tutorial and hope your arm recovers soon.
Hey friends, I use this method...but I use deck brush on a broom handle. I can get the job done faster and less back-back talk in the morning. 🤣 Also great to seal the grout line after you are done so you don't have do it again NEXT week.
@@emmafauntleroy5241 There is a liquid clear grout sealer on the shelf at most box stores. I last got a white plastic bottle brand SoilLoc that is sold at Lowes. It has a squirt topper on it and find if you use a tooth brush to help direct and agitate the fluid in the lines, you will get better results. I think the quart bottle is too heavy, so I pour small amounts in a plastic condiment bottle and snip the tip at an angle. One more thing...if you can't get your grout right, Mapei (sp?) makes a product called grout refresh. It is a paint (hearty) also referred to as a dye you can use to completely change your grout color. I did an entire enormous kitchen with white grout lines. Applied with a tooth brush and it hasn't budged in 15 years. It is a grey white, but white. Narrow long cheap toothbrush is what you want to look for. Hope that helps friend!
I really like your results and I did the same thing and left it on a little longer than two minutes - probably three or four. But I did not get the same results and I don’t know why. In fact, I can’t really tell that it made much difference for mine. I’m wide-open to input because I’d really like to get my grout clean. It’s just me living here and it doesn’t get horribly dirty but you can tell it’s been used and it doesn’t look new or great. I’m wide open to any suggestions or input.
His grout appears to be unsanded, and is less prone to staining, and is easier to clean. If you have sanded grout, its going to be harder to get clean. I'd go the steam route.
Great tutorial. I'm going to try this. Mine are gross. Last time I used lemon juice and cream of tartar. It works really well too but when you scrub and it sprays a bit on vertical surfaces you have to find it and wipe it off quickly because the cream of tartar component dries hard. lol Thank you.
6:55 1/2 C baking soda 1/4 C hydrogen peroxide 1 tsp Dawn dish soap (detergent) Apply on grout, let it sit for 3-5 minutes, scrub with a brush and wipe off with a wet cloth and dry off with a dry cloth.
Bleach is actually only good for non porous sealed surfaces, which grout lines aren’t. Many warranties are voided if bleach is used. Soap is a surfactant which lifts dirt. Peroxide oxidizes things like skin cells and dirt.
Well speaking for myself this would be great if it was just doing this in a small bathroom. But now try to do your whole house that has tiles with dirty grout. Then how would you clean up fast and steal efficiently?
Can you please give me name of the liquid you put between the ground. I have English barrier, I could not get the name of that bottle because you speak so fast. The others bottles I know what they are. Thank you from Florida

From sad experience Hydrogen peroxide acts like bleach if directly set on clothes.

I bought a bottle of ZEP grout cleaner recently, but I am going to try this method first.
WOW! Now THAT’S a solution!! I’ll try it.
Worked for me a small bathroom. Done one section so far. Hard on the knees but the section I did looks brand new.

Does this weaken the grout?
