If you want a DIY method, however, the best way to clean grout is detailed below:

1 .Mix a bucket of water with powdered oxygen bleach according to the directions on the bottle.

This effective type of bleach has a different chemical compound from chlorine bleach and is non-toxic and color-safe. You can usually find it in the cleaning aisle at any grocery or hardware store.

2. Apply your solution to the grout lines with either a spray bottle or a scrub brush. For grout that is extra dirty, we prefer to use both methods of applicatio­n.

3. Let the solution sit on the grout for at least 30 minutes. The longer you wait, the better. The oxygen ions in the bleach solution continue to work for up to six hours.

4. Once the bleach solution has soaked in, use a stiff nylon brush or an old toothbrush to scrub the grout lines. Scrub a small area of grout at a time, and sop up the dirty water with a towel as you go.

5. Once all the grout lines are clean, rinse the area with fresh water, and dry it with a clean cloth.

6. Once you're finished and the floor is dry, use a grout sealant to keep the grout clean.

You can substitute the oxygen bleach with a mixture of white vinegar and either lemon juice or baking soda which you likely already have on hand.

Based on our experience, the bleach solution requires the least amount of scrubbing and is the most effective for removing stains.
