Discover the Bunnings buy that miraculously restored a couple's grout after 20 filthy years!

When it comes to home maintenance, few tasks are more daunting than tackling years of built-up dirt and grime. But for one couple, a product from Bunnings Warehouse proved to be a game-changer, transforming their grout from grimy to gleaming. The transformation was so impressive that it caught the attention of over 2 million viewers on TikTok, sparking conversations and sharing tips among the cleaning community.

The couple, known as Kirpen on their TikTok account @kokoisme86, shared their journey of moving into a home where the floors had been neglected for two decades. The state of the grout was unbearable, but with the help of a powerful cleaning duo purchased from Bunnings, they could restore it to its original condition.


The process, while laborious, was made easier with the use of a power scrubber. Kirpen revealed that it took 14 hours spread over two days to clean all three floors of their home. The results were showcased in a follow-up post featuring a slideshow of before-and-after images, proving the hard work was worth it.

The cleaning footage on TikTok went viral and prompted a lively discussion in the comments section. Some viewers were amazed, while others offered their own cleaning hacks and questioned the methods used. One user humorously lamented, 'Excuse me, why have I been scrubbing my grout like a peasant this whole time,' while another expressed a desire for the same cleaning tools, saying, 'Omg, I want one of these so bad.'


For those curious about the specifics, Kirpen was happy to share that after using the grout cleaner, they mopped with clean, warm water and dried the floors with towels to avoid residue. When some suggested alternative methods, such as a $10 long-handled grout brush from Bunnings or a steamer, Kirpen explained that they had tried those options without success on the level of dirt they were facing.

The product that made all the difference was a Long-Life grout cleaner paired with the power scrubber. This combination has received rave reviews on the Bunnings website, boasting a 4.3-star rating and numerous testimonials from satisfied customers. The key to its effectiveness seems to be in the application: spray the cleaner, wait a minute, and then use a grout brush—no need for excessive scrubbing to see the dirt lift away.

One shopper shared their experience, 'Saw a recommendation for this product because I had white tiles and white grouting. I would also recommend Bunnings's $4 grouting brush because of the hard bristles. [...] Spray, leave for a minute and then use the grout brush. Don't even need to scrub that hard, and you can see the dirt coming up.'

A cheap bag of washing soda from the local supermarket does us, it even cleaned up a horrible build up of grease in the oven and on the door.
I just get a spray bottle, pour in some warm/hot water to dilute, put some washing soda in with a little pure lemon juice for a nice smell then spray it where it needs deep cleaning. It comes up a treat everytime and yes, it works on grout.
I use it everywhere, for the shower screen and sink, to the light switches and kitchen cupboards.
Bugger paying for all these different cleaners for each room, for a few bucks it will last you ages.
