Environmentally Friendly Tile and Grout Cleaning

To improve both the home environment and the outdoor environment, it helps to switch to green cleaning practices.  Using baking soda to clean your grout is a great alternative solution to harsh chemical cleaners.

For example, this how to clean grout article offers tips and tricks to cleaning grout without using messy chemicals.  Grout is very hard to clean because it is famous for attracting mold and dirt.  Traditional grout cleaners are full of chemicals because grout is so hard to clean, but there is a better solution.  In addition, there are many helpful online resources to learn more about green solutions and human-safe remedies to tackle tile and grout cleaning.

In order to use baking soda as your active cleaning ingredient, first pour water over the grout that is to be cleaned.  Then take your baking soda and shake it over the grout.  Use a toothbrush to scrub the grout lines.  Allow this to site for approximately ten minutes then rinse with clean (boiled) water.  The baking soda acts as both a disinfectant and deodorizer.

Cleaning grout with products that are safe for the environment and humans, like baking soda, are often effective and cheap.  Commercial cleaning products are manufactured with toxic chemicals, are often expensive, and sometimes are not very effective so it only makes sense to try and find a green solution.  The call for greener products has been answered by many manufacturers today that now offer green solutions for some of their household cleaning products.

Grout cleaning is necessary but never on the list of high priority “things to do” lists.  For this reason, the buildup causes cleaning it to be harder than if maintenance cleaning were practiced.  Save yourself some time by using greener solutions, such as baking soda, on a regular basis.  This solution is not only cheap and effective, but also great for the environment, your home, and your family.
