Cleaning tile grout

Sponge.jpg

 

Hi guys

 

Was reading up and trying to find a good product for cleaning grout in bathrooms and kitchen floor tiles.

 

The only thing l was able to come up with was Oxygen Bleach. Did a search and found that Bunnings dont sell that. Anyone have any good suggestions?

 

Looking forward to hearing from someone. Thank you.

Re: cleaning tile grout

This is great, tilers should apply this when laying tiles is complete. If the grout has mould and stains and its not cleaned properly when you apply the shower plug, I assume you Seal the dirty grout? Is it coloured? Thanks Dee

Re: cleaning tile grout

Use Domestos. Fill an old tomato sauce squeeze bottle with it then run the tip of the bottle along your grout. Leave for about 10mins and use a grout brush/stiff brisle brush. I found one at bunnings, it is perfect. Has an adjustable handle so it’s not back breaking work. Don’t have a clear pic of it other than the one I’ve posted. It’s so easy my 9yr old wanted to help. We did this for a house my friend moved into.

Scrub along the grout and then rinse as normal with mop.

Re: cleaning tile grout

Our house is half tiles and the best thing I found are Magic Erasers ( With 3 kids this is the best invention) They disintegrate quickly but I buy mine online for cheap so always have plenty. It’s so worth It and has cut my cleaning time from 5-6 hrs with a scrubber to 1-2 hours with the magic eraser. Hot water and domestos is what I prefer to use.

Re: Cleaning tile grout

Oxygen bleach is just nappy San, if it is black on the grout the mould has got inside the grout and it Whenbeedz replacing and then sealing.

The Davco premix stuff in the tile aisle is great. Orange slime is the mould on top and 50/50 white vinegar with water with a microfibre cloth regularly gets it easily. 

I am the Ezicleen Surface restoration and Protection man, have a look at our website. Bleach and Exit Mould type products are staining and corroding your tiles and shower glass. Once you get the grout all sorted the tiles and grout need to be sealed for low maintenance and we can restore your shower screen and protect with life time warranty.

Bleach is a bad thing on vitreous silica products.

To clean glass, Sunlight or morning fresh ( neutral pH) in cold water is best, rinse, squeegee and towel dry is what pro window cleaners use. Windex is bad on glass. Metho in a spray bottle with microfibre cloth gives the last polish.
