How to whiten floor grout with two miraculous natural products
Whitening tiles, blackened by time or continuous contact with water, and grout is very simple. There are two ingredients that everyone has at home, that we use in the kitchen and beyond, that promise incredible effects.
The two miracle ingredients are vinegar and lemon . Together they are a true wonder, just use half a cup of white vinegar, half a squeezed lemon, 200 grams of bicarbonate and obviously 100 ml of water.
Mix all the ingredients in a container. After a few seconds you will notice a chemical reaction: a foamy mixture will form and it will be this foam that will give unexpected results.
How to proceed with floor cleaning.
Pour the mixture obtained directly onto the floor, the joints should be completely covered . Then take a fairly large clothes brush and scrub vigorously. If you do not have a suitable brush at home, a toothbrush is also fine.
A little effort is all it takes, because the two miraculous ingredients will do most of the work. Within a few minutes, the grout and the floor in general will return to its original colour.
Alternative methods for washing the floor and whitening the joints.
Not only lemon and baking soda can be useful for cleaning floor joints. There are other equally simple and highly recommended methods.
You can use the borax you use to wash clothes, the results will be surprising especially on the joints. Simply add borax to water and spread it directly on the joints. Then let it sit overnight, the next morning just use a floor brush and rinse to notice the big difference compared to before.
Vinegar itself is one of the grandmother’s remedies, and it can show its immense qualities in any context . Even if the joints have traces of mould or lime, vinegar will work better. You can use it pure or mixed with water, simply spray it on the joints , perhaps using a spray bottle, and then leave it to act for 10 minutes. After the necessary time has passed, you can remove it with a simple cloth and then wash the floor as usual.
