How to clean dirty grout? This method will destroy mold spores on the joints
Dirty grout makes the tiles in the bathroom or kitchen look unattractive. Dirt collecting in the joints is practically impossible to clean. It eats into the rough surface of the joints. Traditional cleaning fluids are unable to dissolve it. Home remedies are the best way to remove dirt and mold. If your problem is mold spores, it is worth using baking soda. It has bactericidal properties that eliminate mold spores. Sodium bicarbonate effectively inhibits the growth of fungi and bacteria, and additionally hinders the formation of a biofilm, i.e. a community of microorganisms. Mix to clean grout. A thick paste should form and should be rubbed thoroughly into the joint surface. Then wait about 20 minutes and scrub the dirt from the grout with a toothbrush. Baking soda has not only biocidal properties but also whitening properties. Light grout will be visibly cleaner after cleaning with baking soda.

An interesting way to clean grout is with toothpaste. It is slightly corrosive, but is safe for delicate surfaces. It copes well with dirt in the joints and gently. Squeeze 1 teaspoon of toothpaste onto the brush and scrub the grout thoroughly. Leave it for about 15 minutes and wash everything off with warm water. Regularly cleaning the joints with toothpaste will prevent dirt from accumulating on them and will whiten them visibly.
