Method
- Sweep or vacuum the area and ventilate the room
- Apply a grout cleaner, or a paste of bicarbonate of soda and water, along the lines
- Leave for ten to fifteen minutes
- Scrub with a grout brush or an old toothbrush, rinse and dry
Be careful
- Test on a hidden spot, especially on natural stone, where acids such as vinegar can damage the surface
- Do not mix bleach with other products
- For stubborn black mould, a mould remover is better than scrubbing harder
Keeping it clean
Wipe tiles dry after showers, keep the room ventilated, and consider sealing grout if the installer advises it.
Common questions
Can I replace grout instead of cleaning it?
If it is cracked or crumbling, yes. Regrouting is a small job that also stops water getting behind the tiles.
