Things You Will Need

  • Hydrogen peroxide
  • Salt
  • Baking soda
  • Cleaning bucket
  • Grout brush
  • Mop
  1. Pour 1/4 cup hydrogen peroxide, 1 cup salt and 1 cup baking soda into a bucket. Use the 3 percent peroxide that is found with first aid supplies at the grocery store.

  2. Dip a grout brush into the mixture, and scrub the mixture into the grout.

  3. Repeat until you work your way across all of the grout, and rinse out the bucket and grout brush with hot water.

  4. Fill the cleaning bucket with hot water.

  5. Dip a mop in the bucket of water, squeeze out the mop slightly to release excess water, and wipe over the tile and grout to remove the cleaning solution.
