‘No effort at all’ – Say goodbye to dirty tile grout with this $2.60 supermarket find
- Replies 1
When it comes to floor cleaning – especially tile grout – it's usually a big, painstakingly time-consuming job with less than great results. You might feel like you’ve been scrubbing your floors forever, but the dirt and grime just don’t seem to budge.
Well, a clever Woolworths customer may have the answer with her genius tile grout hack that’s going viral on social media.
Transforming stained tile grout is often a laborious process that can take hours of scrubbing and elbow grease. However, thanks to one savvy shopper, cleaning has never been easier.
In a recent post on a popular Facebook group, the satisfied customer shared her story of how she used an inexpensive Woolies buy to overhaul her tiles—with unbelievable results.
‘Cleaning mania kicked in after having family here for two weeks,’ she captioned.
‘This is the result I got – one happy mum here,’ she shared and attached an image of her clean floor tiles.
So, what was the product in question? It’s the Strike Pro Bath & Shower Spray Cleaner, which you can find at Woolworths for only $2.60! However, the cleaning buy is currently sold out due to its popularity.
The mum explained that she poured ½ bottle’s contents into 1/3 bucket of hot water to dilute the cleaner and because it was ‘way easier than spraying the grout beforehand’.
‘When mopping, get the mop right in there over the grout. The longer it is left to dry, [the better] the results you get,’ she added.
Fans of the affordable spray said it ‘works like magic’ and it took them ‘no effort at all’ to clean.
Others then flocked to the woman’s post to rave about the results they achieved from the ‘hack’.
‘Cleaned my entrance with these products: Strike Pro Bath & Shower Spray and a Bunnings grout brush, and my Vileda spin mop/bucket to rinse the brush,’ one wrote.
They explained that they mopped their floors with water right after to remove streaks. ‘Thank you to whoever came up with the idea!’ They added.
If chemical cleaners aren’t your thing, you can always make your own homemade cleaning solution!
One effective (and common!) grout-cleaning solution is a mixture of bicarb of soda, hydrogen peroxide, and dish soap.
To yield the best results, you need to form a paste out of these ingredients. The measurements vary depending on the size of the area, but to be safe you can mix two parts bicarb of soda to one part hydrogen peroxide and a teaspoon or two of dish soap.
You can also use lemon juice as an effective stain remover! Fresh lemon juice is acidic and can create an unwelcoming environment for mould and mildew. You can mix the juice from one whole lemon and an equal amount of baking soda to form a paste. Rub the paste into the grout with a soft rag or scrubbing brush, and then rinse with water to remove streaks.
If you're looking for an affordable and easy way to keep your floors looking clean and fresh, this could be the perfect solution for you too! Do you have a favourite grout cleaner? Let us know in the comments!
