Keeping your shower grout clean can be a bit of a challenge. The area is often wet and slippery, and the grout is a magnet for dirt and mould. Here are a few Grout Guy certified tips for cleaning your shower grout:
– Use a mild detergent and a soft brush to clean the grout (or for best results – we use our Grout Guy Multi-Purpose Cleaner).
– Avoid using harsh chemicals, as they can damage the grout.
– Rinse the area thoroughly after cleaning to remove any residue.
If the grout is especially dirty, you can use a diluted bleach solution to help get it white again. Be sure to rinse thoroughly and allow the area to dry completely before using the shower again.
The Most Common Mistakes People Make When Cleaning Shower Grout
There are a few common mistakes people make when cleaning shower grout:
- Not using the right cleaner. Some cleaners are too harsh and can damage the grout.
- Not using enough cleaner. If the cleaner is not applied evenly, it will not be effective.
- Not letting the cleaner sit long enough. The cleaner needs time to penetrate the grime and dirt.
- Scrubbing the grout too hard. This can damage the surface of the grout and cause it to crumble.
