Thanks! I’m so glad I watched this. We just finished a bathroom redo and the new white marble grout is gross from construction. I will use the brush but only before I seal it! ❤
Excellent video! I was literally 2 seconds from purchasing a drill brush set! Thinking what a great idea. But now....I guess it will be just get on my hands and knees with a gentle brush and see how it goes. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
I watched about 5 different videos.yes baking soda will leave a powdery residue that has to be sucked up by wet mop or vacuum and powder will make it appear whiter. But they usually recommend resealing grout anyway.and some products are going to break down any sealer anyway.maybe vinegar,oxygen bleach,hydrogen peroxide,lemon juice might break down sealer anyway.i think I would rather use drill brush then scrubbing.just don't need to run over grout too much since it's way more effective than hand scrubbing.i just think it's good to reseal after all clean and dry.especially if seal is old..frankw
@@moniquenoverola7843 If you don't mind sealing after cleaning, then I totally get wanting to use the drill brush. Most of my house is tile, so I'd rather stick with my steam mop most of the time. Thanks for the comment!
Simple solution for getting rid of baking soda: When you are done cleaning with it, mop with vinegar solution. It combines with baking soda to make sodium acetate. That is very water soluble, so it's easy to wipe up with a damp mop.
The bad side of using vinegar, especially undiluted, on floors is that it strips the sealer on grout. And, eventually it would breakdown and etch the grout. 😊
@@AbbottsAtHome Yes, it has to be diluted quite a bit. When it stops foaming, all the baking soda is converted, so time to remove with a clean water mopping. This will happen instantly, and leaves no vinegar behind.
I had used that baking soda and peroxide in the past, and lordy I thought I would never get that powdery film off my floors. What a mess I had. Thanks for the heads up on dawn and hot water.
Thanks for sharing. I usually avoid bleach and things like toilet cleaner because they strip the sealer off of grout. So, I'd have to seal the grout every time I used them, or the grout would just get stained faster.
Great video! I just discovered your channel. What a find! They are so informative! May I know information on your tile. Where did you buy it and the name? I would like to buy them for a remodeling project. Thank you and keep up the great work.
Just curious, do you know what type of brush was used on the drill? I know they come in several different forms, soft to coarse... Thank you, great video!

I don't understand why everyone is saying baking soda and peroxide. I thought it was awful and messy. It did not do a good job of cleaning my grout. But my grout is super super dirty. I'll try just the peroxide.

Thanks! Yep, unfortunately they strip the sealer off of your floors. Good luck with your grout! :)

Very informative. Thank you.
Thanks!!
I love the idea of hydrogen peroxide. Non toxic, and if you dont get it all off it naturally breaks down to just water anyway so no big deal.
I've been using it on my shower grout too with great results. :)

It’s crazy how just a lot baking soda can take SO Long to clean off. 😊
Thanks for the advice on NOT using baking soda!
I want to work smarter NOT harder😅
Exactly! 😊
I use gel toilet cleaner applied to the grout, leave for 15 to 20 minutes and then scrub with Hoover Power Dash scrubber with water and bleach

I bought from a local tile store. But Floor and Decor has a very similar tile. :)
@@AbbottsAtHome thank you. I will take a look at floor and decor.
Just curious, do you know what type of brush was used on the drill? I know they come in several different forms, soft to coarse... Thank you, great video!
I used the yellow version. I think the white set is softer. It might be fine. 👍
6:49 yes 😂

Mix together
1 part Surgical Spirit.
1 part washing up liquid
2 parts water.
Use a old tooth brush.
Rinse with clean water.
Wipe clean😊 PERFECT
For the non-Brits that read this, surgical spirits are the same as 70% rubbing alcohol here. I’ll have to give your mix a try. Thanks for the tip!!
@@AbbottsAtHomeheyyy ty so much for your hard work and did the alcohol and dawn solution work?
I don't understand why everyone is saying baking soda and peroxide. I thought it was awful and messy. It did not do a good job of cleaning my grout. But my grout is super super dirty. I'll try just the peroxide.
It was a mess. I usually scrub with dawn and hot water. Then use peroxide if it needs a little whitening. 😊
Thanks for the video. Baking soda cant be left to dry....
You’re welcome!
I will avoid baking soda! Thank you!
You’re welcome. 😊
