Power duo: Woman transforms bathroom tiles from dull to sparkly clean using two items costing $18

Cleaning tiles is easy, but tile grout? That’s a different story. Tile grout can be one of the toughest things to clean and you’ll find yourself scrubbing with all your might, only to see the stubborn dirt still in between the tiles!

But one woman has discovered a genius hack that solved her grout dilemma. And the best part is that she did it using only two products from local supermarkets! How cool is that?

Sharing her impressive cleaning duo discovery on the Facebook page Aldi Mums Australia, she explained exactly how she did it.

The woman claimed she used the popular Aldi pre-wash stain remover Di San with the Super Sonic power brush Special Buy.

She was "very happy" with the results and said her bathroom had never looked better.

How the budget cleaning hack works


The woman said she used the $1.29 cleaner with the $16.99 brush set, and the combination left her tiles looking brand new.

The Special Buy brush set is a powerful cleaning system that has four interchangeable heads. It’s great for hard-to-clean areas and can cut scrubbing time by up to 75 per cent.

Fellow Aldi mums loved the idea and said they couldn't wait to try it.

“I bought this today too and did around the edges of the shower and around the taps and it was pretty good. Will try with the cleaning spray,” one person said.

“Ohhh yes, definitely going to get them brushes,” added another.

Aldi’s popular cleaner, which is meant to be used as a laundry stain remover has been used for a wide range of tricky cleaning jobs.

Aside from cleaning grout, Aldi customers have used it to clean tiles, dirty shoes, ovens, and even furniture, with one woman, completely transforming her old, stained couch.

I'm trying to image cleaning my bathroom tiles with a toothbrush, and honestly the mind boggles! I have tried various larger brushes but the cost of batteries outweighs any detergent savings. A high priced rechargeable was also not very good, BUT prevention is the best method. The major cause of soap scum/powder in bathrooms/showers is the soap you use. Almost all soaps sold contain a percentage of animal fat in them (read the label, it will be hidden but it's there) use a soap containing none and most of your problems will disappear. Worked for me and has done for many years. We use sorbalene but I'm sure there are others. I received this tip many years ago at a trade expo, from a shower screen manufacturer. :D
 
I use a car cleaning spray for my shower screen. ("clean the car without water" type). The screen looks beautiful, and the water just runs off. sparkling clean, and only have to do it every couple of months.

I recall hearing about this a long time ago. I think they are silicone based sprays. but have never tried it myself. :D
