While the Long Life Grout Cleaner is a great option, there are also other effective methods for cleaning grout and making it look new again. Here are a few:
Baking Soda and Vinegar
Baking soda and vinegar are both natural, non-toxic cleaning agents that work wonders on grout. When combined, they create a powerful cleaning paste that can help remove dirt and stains from grout lines.
To use this method, start by mixing equal parts baking soda and white vinegar in a bowl or container. Stir the mixture until it forms a thick paste. Then, apply the paste to the grout lines, making sure to cover the area thoroughly.
Let the paste sit on the grout for about 5-10 minutes to allow it to penetrate and loosen any dirt or stains. During this time, you may notice some foaming or bubbling - this is normal and just means the mixture is working!
After the paste has had time to sit, use a stiff-bristled brush to scrub the grout lines. You may need to apply a bit of elbow grease to really get in there and remove any stubborn stains. Once you've scrubbed the grout, rinse the area with water to remove any remaining paste.
It's important to note that this method may not work for very tough stains or heavily discoloured grout. In those cases, you may need to try a stronger cleaner or a professional cleaning service. But for regular cleaning and maintenance, baking soda and vinegar can be a great, non-toxic option for keeping your grout looking like new.
Hydrogen Peroxide and Baking Soda
The combination of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda creates a powerful cleaning solution that can effectively lift dirt and grime from grout. Here's how you can use this method to clean your grout:
In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of baking soda and 1/4 cup of hydrogen peroxide until you get a paste-like consistency. You can adjust the ingredients depending on how much grout you need to clean.
Using a toothbrush or a stiff-bristled brush, apply the paste to the grout lines and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes. The paste will start to bubble and fizz as it reacts with the grime.
After the paste has sat for a few minutes, use the brush to scrub the grout lines. Make sure to use firm pressure to really get the grime out of the grout.
Once you've scrubbed all the grout lines, rinse the area with water to remove any leftover paste. You may need to repeat the process a few times for heavily discoloured grout.
Finally, use a clean, damp cloth to wipe away any remaining residue and dry the area with a towel.

Steam Cleaner
A steam cleaner is a great tool to use for cleaning grout because it uses high-pressure hot water vapour to blast away dirt, grime, and bacteria without the use of harsh chemicals. It's a more eco-friendly option compared to other methods, and it's effective for removing stubborn stains.
To use a steam cleaner, you'll first want to sweep or vacuum the area to remove any loose debris. Next, fill the steam cleaner with water according to the manufacturer's instructions and let it heat up.
Once it's ready, point the nozzle at the grout and hold it a few inches away from the surface. Move the nozzle back and forth over the grout, applying consistent pressure to blast away the dirt and grime.
Be sure to work in sections, so you don't miss any spots, and wipe away the dirt and moisture as you go. Once you've cleaned all the grout, rinse the surface with clean water and dry it thoroughly with a clean towel.
It's worth noting that a steam cleaner can be a bit pricier compared to some other cleaning methods, but if you have a lot of tiled surfaces or grout to clean, it may be worth the investment. Plus, it's chemical-free and eco-friendly, making it a great option for those who are conscious about the environment.
Bleach
Bleach is a powerful cleaning agent that can effectively remove tough stains and dirt from grout. To use bleach, mix it with water at a ratio of 1:10 (1 part bleach to 10 parts water). Be sure to wear gloves and work in a well-ventilated area when using bleach.
Apply the bleach solution to the grout and let it sit for a few minutes (around 5-10 minutes should do the trick). Then, use a stiff-bristled brush to scrub the grout and work the bleach solution into the stains. Finally, rinse the area thoroughly with water to remove any leftover bleach residue.
It's important to note that bleach should not be used on coloured grout, as it can cause discolouration. If you're unsure whether your grout is coloured or not, test the bleach solution on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Additionally, while bleach can be effective at removing stains and dirt, it's not the best option for regular cleaning as it can be harsh on your grout over time. So, use it sparingly and consider other gentler cleaning methods for routine maintenance.
