Cleaning Grout with Vinegar

For hundreds of years, vinegar - known as natural deodorizer - has been used household cleaning. Vinegar not only cleans but it kills mold, germs and other bacteria that can breed throughout your home. Vinegar can effectively clean, sanitize and deodorize just about any item and because of its acidity level, eliminating the need for harsh chemicals. For those looking to save money and live a "green" way of life, vinegar is an economical and green option to clean and maintain your home.

The secret to great looking tiles is great looking grout. Grouts are porous and, as a result, they easily absorb grease, dirt and lime scale. Spillages such as wine, lemonades or any greasy substances could cause marks and patches in the joints in the floor. Grout between wall-tiles, particularly in damp areas like bathrooms, could and will become dirty and unattractive as a result of Mould, Mildew and Limescale.

Mould is one of the most unsightly problems, it usually starts off in the wettest area of the room, like the bottom of the shower or bath, and if left unchecked it could spread to cover a large area of the wall.

In bath or shower areas, continued use of acid formulated shampoos and soaps will cause discolouration of grout joints, causing yellow orange and pink stains to appear on the grout over time, so you should protect your grout using a sealer which forms an invisible barrier between the grout and the surface, protecting your investment for years to come.
