Thank you for your video. Regarding 1:00, for those who are unaware, the mixture of hydrogen peroxide, baking soda and detergent is similar to but not as powerful a cleaner as is a mixture of hydrogen peroxide, washing soda and detergent. This is because Washing Soda (aka sodium carbonate) is a more powerful Alkali than Baking Soda (aka sodium bicarbonate). Hydrogen peroxide + Washing Soda = Sodium Percarbonate which is the Oxygen Bleach in OxiClean. OxiClean itself can be used for cleaning tile grout as well as cleaning many other dirty tasks. Furthermore OxiClean does not have the strong irritating odor from Chlorine Bleach (aka sodium hypochlorite). You can make your own OxiClean by combining hydrogen peroxide, washing soda and detergent.
Thank you Jane!!
"This is because Washing Soda (aka sodium carbonate) is a more powerful Alkali than Baking Soda (aka sodium bicarbonate)." SODIUM BICARBONATE IS A MORE POWERFUL ALKALI THAN SODIUM BICARBONATE. Now why did no one realise that before?
@@jonblogondrong4792 you read that incorrectly. That's not what it says.
@@dbouton608 Of course its what it says. Copied and pasted.
@@jonblogondrong4792No, you didn't copy and paste. She said washing soda which is sodium percarbonate is more powerful than sodium bicarbonate. Go back and re-read it🙄
04/07/24 wowwwwwwwwwwww you are amazing! The dirt came right OUT wow! what I like about YOUR videos is that you use NATURAL cleaners instead of chemicals, high five to ya for that! anddddddddddddd it saves people MONEY .... thank you so much, GREAT demonstration video wow!!!!!!!!!!! great job!
Tiles sitting in chlorine pools for decades = "okay". Diluted bleach on tiles for occasional cleaning = "ruined?"
I bought a steam cleaner, which does a great job. I’m going to try this, and maybe combine them. I don’t use a bucket for mopping. Instead, I rinse out my mop in my laundry sink so I never use a dirty mop on the floor. If you must use a bucket, have a rinse bucket to keep the mop cleaner. Otherwise, you’re just pushing dirt into the grout.
I use a sponge mop & a towel cloth between floor & mop. Lysol to clean floor. Then I wash the cloth & reuse it. Mop sponge stays really clean, but I rinse it out anyway. This way floor gets clean & mop sponge lasts a long time!! I sometimes use a smaller piece of towel cloth, and do half then use another for the other half, if it's a larger room ( or floor too yucky)
Such pretty floor tile. Even prettier after your demonstration. Thanks for the hints.
Fantastic tip. Your results look great. Will try.
Definitely going to try this formula!
YES! Thank you once again! Marty from New Jersey.
Thank you for creating this video, to include others who also contributed to the replys. I greatly appreciate it.
Excellent ! I'm going to try this. Thank you !
This works great. Thanks!
Worked perfectly! A little elbow grease , looks brand new ! Thanks
This is amazing !!! I've done this and it works really well!!
WOW! Now THAT’S a solution!! I’ll try it.
It works!! Thank you!!! I’ve tried different kinds of products and mixtures, this is the one that works the best! Yeah!!! Wish I could send you the before and after pics
It definitely works, thought I would have to re-grout the floor before I tried it 😅
Thanks for the tips. By the way, peroxide won't hurt your clothes, and is also great for stain removal, especially blood stains!
With so many Mass murders going on, I can’t even say some stupid joke about well thank God now I know how to get the blood stain removed. Because some creep that’s a jerk is going to think that I’m a mass murderer. I’d like to kick some people in the butt but no blood anywhere. So thank you for your post.
From sad experience Hydrogen peroxide acts like bleach if directly set on clothes.
Wow, what a difference! Am going to put that to use on my tile countertops and kitchen floor grout Thank You, Melaney from SoCal
Thanks! Will try.
Thank you for cleaning tips very helpful 🙏
Great job, thus was very helpful 👏.
Amazing. Thanks for tip!
6:55
1/2 C baking soda
1/4 C hydrogen peroxide
1 tsp Dawn dish soap (detergent)
Apply on grout, let it sit for 3-5 minutes, scrub with a brush and wipe off with a wet cloth and dry off with a dry cloth.
great tip, thank you!!
I used an electric tooth brush from the dollar store. It took 2 AA batteries. I then used a grout sealer
Great idea and so much cheaper than other options! Never knew dollar stores had them.
Amazing job love this video
Hey friends, I use this method...but I use deck brush on a broom handle. I can get the job done faster and less back-back talk in the morning. 🤣 Also great to seal the grout line after you are done so you don't have do it again NEXT week.
What do you recommend re-seal it with?
@@emmafauntleroy5241 There is a liquid clear grout sealer on the shelf at most box stores. I last got a white plastic bottle brand SoilLoc that is sold at Lowes. It has a squirt topper on it and find if you use a tooth brush to help direct and agitate the fluid in the lines, you will get better results. I think the quart bottle is too heavy, so I pour small amounts in a plastic condiment bottle and snip the tip at an angle. One more thing...if you can't get your grout right, Mapei (sp?) makes a product called grout refresh. It is a paint (hearty) also referred to as a dye you can use to completely change your grout color. I did an entire enormous kitchen with white grout lines. Applied with a tooth brush and it hasn't budged in 15 years. It is a grey white, but white. Narrow long cheap toothbrush is what you want to look for. Hope that helps friend!
@@b.walker5955well this has helped me. Bless you
Just what I needed!!!
Worked for me a small bathroom. Done one section so far. Hard on the knees but the section I did looks brand new.
EXCELLENT VIDEO--THANK YOU
Great recipe for cleaning, because I don't like to use chemical products I will try it. You have a new friend here I love the channel that provides good tips, thank you for your time, and share it with us.💗
WOW! That’s amazing!
I bought a bottle of ZEP grout cleaner recently, but I am going to try this method first.
To much wastage...you could have mixed all the ingredients and use a spray bottle. Jokes aside I'm so happy to see men interested in cleaning. Finally God is answering our prayers ladies. Just sit and watch 😅
Thanks for this. What’s the best way to clean a greased up extractor?
Excellent tips
Shaking peroxide with baking soda can cause the bottle to explode. And the same mixture is great for deskunking a pet or yourself. What works better is to dampen the grout, place baking soda in the grout and leave it sit. This mixture with a windowsill brush is super good to clean windowsills and patio door tracks. Scrub with brush. Rinse with hose again, squeegee windows.
Thank you
Safety glasses is ALWAYS a good idea!
Foaming Dawn dish soap and a denture brush, or soft toothbrush, works amazingly well on grout. You don't even have to scrub that hard.
Hydrogen peroxide is a good first aid too & it just sits past the expiration date & I have to throw it away - Now I shall USE it alllll!? Thanks for the tips!!
Thank you...
I use peroxide after flossing and brushing my teeth😂… no harm from it bud. Good video👍🏽
I have luxury vinyl tiles. Can I use this mixture on them to clean my grout? Tia
How does this work on light colored marble with white grout? Any etching issues on the edges of the marble tiles?
Works like a charm thank you. Used a bucket of water and a grout sponge, cleaning solution worked great. Again, thank you so much.
You are very welcome
That mixture I use to clean my dog when he gets sprayed by a skunk lol guess it has other uses as well!
Awesomeness. ❤
Excellent
Great idea, but how could I do this on shower walls? The mixture would just run off immediately.
What strength peroxide because it barely made a difference in my grout. (I moved into a previous rental)
Then after it’s clean and dry, I’d seal it with 511 and seal it yearly to help keep it clean, and help clean it bit easier when dirty. Imo that is
Thank You 🌞
Great tutorial. I'm going to try this. Mine are gross. Last time I used lemon juice and cream of tartar. It works really well too but when you scrub and it sprays a bit on vertical surfaces you have to find it and wipe it off quickly because the cream of tartar component dries hard. lol Thank you.
I'm going to clean my tiled shower now 🚿...
Is there a steam cleaning option for grout?
Yep - life is like that - if your want to make a good one , it takes a little bit of effort ! Thank you - the tiles look brand new.
Absolutely
I have basically that exact tile and grout in my bathroom
I need to try this on the white grout I have.
hand held steam cleaner cleans a treat.
Denture brush works well…..also there is a triangle brush you can put on a broom handle to scrub grout lines
Thank you for this video! Did you do a video for sealing the grout yet?
I did: ruclips.net/video/B4DLAgfi3NI/видео.htmlsi=FlHLgvxDosLRL_O2
Thank you
2:00 not sure what happened to arm, as 2nd time watching a vid on your channel, but that arm brace looks like some future exo suit that gives you special super strength. Guessing doesn’t do that, and arm hurting Badly; but is LOOKS SO AWESOME AND COOL!
Thx for the tip on grout✌🏻
I tore my bicep and had surgery to repair it :(
@@MrGizmo211 ok, I’m hitting the 👍🏻 cuz replied and b/c love the channel, not b/c happy you tore bicep etc….as that would be horrible, fyi. Hope doing well as each day passes by and not in excruciating pain, as know that can suck and keep you up at night instead of sleeping.
Thx and have a good day😊
@@Aepek yes - it was miserable but I have gotten past most it already and my arm is pretty good again! Ty for your kind words and appreciate you liking the channel!
Can the formula be saved?
I really like this.
Can you show me all products that you mixed them together? Thanks.
He says 1/2 cup baking soda
1/4 cup hydrogen peroxide
1 teaspoon of dawn
What a difference. One question what sort of product is Dawn as I live in England and don't know this one. Many thanks for great tutorial and hope your arm recovers soon.
Dawn is a dishwashing liquid that you'd use to clean your dishes in the sink.
@@Sunshine-fy4fz Many thanks
Bleach is actually only good for non porous sealed surfaces, which grout lines aren’t. Many warranties are voided if bleach is used. Soap is a surfactant which lifts dirt. Peroxide oxidizes things like skin cells and dirt.
What is the proportion of each ingredients, please? Thank you very much.
1/2 C baking soda
1/4 C H2O2
1 tsp dish soap

@Mr. Gizmo - Great job! Quick question, would you recommend sealing the grout after cleaning it so as to prevent having to do so every week?
Yes I would - I will do another video showing it :)
Can I make this solution In advance and just use it when I need to or does it need to made the day I need to use it?
In fact, high-strength hydrogen peroxide may kill or cause serious harm if ingested, even if it is labeled "food-grade," according to the FDA. Drinking high-strength hydrogen peroxide can cause gastrointestinal irritation or ulcersulcers.
A really good brush is the one that is used to clean dentures.
Great idea 👏. If you don’t use the entire batch does it keep or should I just make a new batch every time? Thank you for sharing 👍👍. Stay safe healthy and happy ✝️🇺🇸
I always just make a new batch. It is cheap :)!
@Mr. Gizmo Great 👍 that's what i was thinking too. Thanks for the quick reply ✝️ 🇺🇸
I really like your results and I did the same thing and left it on a little longer than two minutes - probably three or four. But I did not get the same results and I don’t know why. In fact, I can’t really tell that it made much difference for mine. I’m wide-open to input because I’d really like to get my grout clean. It’s just me living here and it doesn’t get horribly dirty but you can tell it’s been used and it doesn’t look new or great. I’m wide open to any suggestions or input.
His grout appears to be unsanded, and is less prone to staining, and is easier to clean. If you have sanded grout, its going to be harder to get clean. I'd go the steam route.
@@panicfever1277 thank you!
1 part Iso propol alcohol, 1 part Dawn, one part water. Lifted YEARS of grout dirt. Combined with steaming you should have a winner.
does the dish detergent have to be "Dawn" specific? or can it be any other brand? I've seen other videos recommend the same thing. So I wasn't sure if there's a chemical in "Dawn" that works better than other dish soaps brands
I imagine any detergent will work just as well. I reckon I must have tried them all over the years, and there is precious little to choose between any of them. It seems the hotter the water, the better any of them work! I think the purpose of the dish soap is just to act as a binder, rather than to contribute anything to the actual cleaning process.
As for the hydrogen peroxide, there seem to be two sorts available: 5% and 15% concentration. If you can get the 15%, use that.
I have stone tile in my shower. How do I get the mixture to stay on the grout on my walls? Also I am a senior, manual labor scrubbing isn’t going to happen with my limited mobility. What scrubbers do you recommend?😊
Mix it thinker like paste
ruclips.net/video/bDLzw0PlpxI/видео.html
If you scrub too much won’t you need to redo your grout more often?
What do you use to seal it after you clean the grout?
I did another video on sealing grout!!
Use a shopvac followed by a wet cloth. The shopvac will extract dirt from deeper within the grout.
What is shop vac please?…🙏
@@maryannemckay3606wet/dry vac. You can find them at hardware stores. It’s called a shop vac because people generally use it in workshops to vacuum up water, saw dust, dirt etc.
@@maryannemckay3606 A shop vac is a heavy duty wet/dry vacuum.
Wow
No harsh chemicals? How about plain water? If you have a hose on your pressure washer long enough to reach from the nearest outside door to the bathroom, it will blast off mold and mildew so easy. I have a hand spray gun for maneuvering in tight places, perfect for this job. You can do the entire shower in about 2 minutes. There is a little over-spray but it is minimal and dries quickly.
Will this work on the shelves? If you leave some of the baking soda on, will it be OK, bad smell or smoke? Thanks.
I would remove as much as possible!
A man who cleans ovens and grout. Will you marry me.
Ha!! Ms. Gizmo would not like that ;)
Tip: move closer! Let's see the process
i WILL DEFINATLEY TRY NEXT WEEK TO CLEAN GROUT.
Well speaking for myself this would be great if it was just doing this in a small bathroom. But now try to do your whole house that has tiles with dirty grout. Then how would you clean up fast and steal efficiently?
This is exactly my problem as well 😭 it takes forever to do just one section of tile and my whole bottom floor is tile
Would this method work with the grout in the shower?
Yes! Absolutely
I followed exactly what you said. This did not work. I notice that what you are working on looks fairly new. My shower was installed in 1960. It was very dirty and I spent all day yesterday with a steamer cleaning it. I was able to clean the tile. Cleaning the grout is the next step!!!!
Great video but I had to chuckle. If he that was nasty grout he doesn’t get out too often. Lol
The floor looks easy do it on a tub wall
How much for each product for the recipe?
Does this weaken the grout?
No it doesnt
Can this method work on shower tile grout?
Yes!
Can you please give me name of the liquid you put between the ground. I have English barrier, I could not get the name of that bottle because you speak so fast. The others bottles I know what they are. Thank you from Florida
I would never choose tile for a bathroom or kitchen floor. I have a lot of tile floors in my house... Clean mop or not, dirt settles in the grout and the mop just makes it worse.
Yup hydrogen peroxide and Baking Soda. Guess I will try adding some Dawn to the mix. After all if Dawn can clean crude Oil off a Ducks back, should be able to clean grout. Lol.
FYI: applicator. I used a plastic ketchup bottle, you know, the round ones at diners? With a cap on it? A gentle squeeze and a perfect line on the grout.
good thing I like gray grout, no need to clean it
As hydrogen peroxide is a bleaching agent, is this mix only good for white grout, not coloured (grey) grout?
Should be fine Wendy - try a small test area to be sure? Somewhere that’s not too visible like a corner…☺️
You have nothing to worry about. I tried this on my taupe grout and it didn’t affect the color, just removed the dingy dust buildup! My grout looks brand new.
