If you have tile floors whether they are natural stone or ceramic tile there is going to be grout used. The grout is part of the tile installation that is necessary to secure the tile and protect it from potential water damage. The tile is installed in the rooms that you want then the spaces that are in-between will have grout used to seal them all together. The grout is one way to secure the tiles in their place along with the adhesive that is used under each tile. The grout also stops moisture and debris from getting under the tile. If moisture gets under the tile it can lead to mold and mildew growth that may require the tile to be removed to clear it out. The debris will start to break down the adhesive that can start to loosen up the tile and cause them to even lift up. The grout is an important part of your tile flooring system so caring for it is just as important if not more than cleaning the tile. The problem is that the cleaning process that you will use to clean the grout is a arduous task.

Tile Cleaners: You can probably go to the store and look for a product that says it is good for cleaning grout and take your chances or you can use a few household items to make your own. Your own cleaning solutions will cost less and you also know what you are getting. Start with a water bottle that has vinegar diluted with water. Then you want to use a paste that will work as an abrasive and cleaner. It is made from baking soda mixed with water until you get the consistency that you want.
How to Clean Tile Grout: When you are ready to start you will need to have a soft bristle brush, wash cloth and clean bucket of water. Start with the spray bottle of vinegar and water and spritz the area that you want to start with. You will need to start with a small area so you are able to reach each spot as you go. Once the vinegar solution has sat for about a minute you want to use your brush as paste to scrub each line.
