Tile Grout Cleaning....

Question

The tile in my kitchen has become dark gray. I want to clean it not replace it. Any suggestions on relatively cheap cleaning methods????

Answer 1

bleach and a tooth brush

Answer 2

Tip; To make tile shine like new,( after you clean the grout by a method above) Get a burlap bag and buff the tile.This works amazingly well. It won't scratch it and they will shine like glass! Good Luck !

Answer 3

Plain old rubbing alcohol (about 89 cents a bottle) will take off most of the grease and gunk. Now to make the tiles shine and keep the stuff off use wax (car polish, or furniture spray polish). Grout cleaning, that's a tough one, you can use a fine wire brush, takes hours. Or you can buy a small bottle of white paint, and a brush, and paint it back to white.  

Answer 4

I've had luck with bleach.  Also a paste of oxy clean.  Don't use both at the same time.  Good luck!

Answer 5

Most cheap cleaning methods don't really work. I would suggest buying a commercial strength cleaner. It's still a ton cheaper then hiring a company, and it works.
