Try this simple DIY tile cleaning HACK

Are you ever just cleaning your beautifully tiled floors and get caught staring at the grout…. And become disgusted at how DIRTY they look? And no matter how many times you mop or scrub your floors (or the grout) they just never look quite clean enough.

It’s so frustrating that you go to the store for grout cleaner, only to realize they either want to charge you an arm and a leg OR the list of ingredients is never ending and full of toxic chemicals that you don’t want to use because you will have little's running and crawling around on the floor.

So, what do you do? I mean, you can’t just let the dingy look continue…

Enter this AMAZING grout cleaning hack! And yes, it’s a toxic-free alternative that your kiddos can gladly be around and crawl all over without you having to worry. Heck, they can even eat off the floor after using this!

WHAT? CAN IT BE?

Absolutely! Here are the supplies you will need:

• 1 bucket or gallon container
• 5 cups of water
• ¾ cup of vinegar
• ½ cup of baking soda
• ½ cup of lemon juice
• 1-2 washcloths
• 1 Toothbrush or any type of stiff bristle brush (the stiffer, the better)

First mix the water, lemon juice, and baking soda. Stir until baking soda has dissolved. Then SLOWLY add in your vinegar- very little at a time as it will bubble and foam as it reacts with the baking soda. Once everything is combined, use a washcloth to start applying to the area you are working on and get to scrubbing! You can use a dry washcloth or one that’s been dampened with water to wipe up any extra solution as you go. This cleaning solution is great on any other grout surfaces too, like the shower or a kitchen backsplash.

Tip: For extra fun AND help, let older kiddos (ages 4+) join in on the scrubbing! They will love it more than you can imagine, and it might help you get done quicker.
