To remove black stains from floor joints (commonly caused by mold, mildew, dirt, or moisture buildup), you can use a few effective methods depending on the severity of the stains and the type of flooring. Here are some approaches:
1. Baking Soda and Vinegar Solution
This is a natural and effective cleaning method, ideal for tile or grout joints.
Ingredients:
Baking soda
White vinegar
Water
A brush (an old toothbrush or grout brush)
Instructions:
Make a paste: Mix equal parts baking soda and water to create a thick paste.
Apply the paste: Spread the paste over the blackened grout or joints, ensuring it covers the stains well.
Spray with vinegar: Pour some white vinegar into a spray bottle and spray it over the baking soda paste. The mixture will start to fizz, which helps lift the dirt.
Scrub: After the fizzing stops, use a brush to scrub the grout or joints in circular motions.
Rinse: Wipe away the residue with a damp cloth and rinse the area with water.
2. Bleach Solution (for tough stains)
