Cleaning grout can feel like a daunting task, especially if previous methods have left you unsatisfied. In this article, we’ll introduce an effective grout-cleaning method using borax, a simple ingredient you likely already have at home. We’ll guide you through the process, share useful tips, and showcase impressive before-and-after transformations.
What You’ll Need
- Borax (20 Mule Team Borax)
- Warm water
- Grout cleaning brush
- A bowl for mixing
Method
1. Prepare the Borax Paste
- Mix Borax and Water: In a bowl, combine borax with warm water until you achieve a paste-like consistency. Adjust the amount of water as needed, aiming for a spreadable paste that isn’t too runny.
2. Apply the Borax Paste
- Glove Up: Put on gloves to protect your hands.
- Spread the Paste: Generously apply the borax paste onto the grout lines you want to clean. Ensure even coverage.
3. Scrub the Grout
- Use a Grout Brush: Take your grout cleaning brush and scrub the borax paste into the grout lines. The brush bristles will help dislodge dirt and stains effectively.
4. Let it Sit
- Allow Time to Work: Let the borax paste sit on the grout lines for about 15-20 minutes. This allows it to penetrate and break down stains and buildup.
5. Wipe Away the Paste
- Dampen a Cloth: After the waiting period, use a clean cloth or kitchen towel dampened with warm water to wipe away the borax paste and any residue. Be prepared for some mess; borax paste can be a bit tricky to clean up.
6. Let it Dry
- Observe the Transformation: Allow the cleaned grout lines to dry for at least an hour. They may appear slightly darker while damp, but the true results will show once completely dry.
The Amazing Transformation
In the “Before” images, the grout appears discolored and stained. After applying the borax paste and following the cleaning process, the “After” images reveal a remarkable transformation. The grout lines are significantly brighter and cleaner, restoring the floor’s appearance to its former glory.
