How to Clean Grout Between Floor Tiles

[kimbon]

Tried Chlorine Bleach mixed with Baking Soda , hydrogen peroxide & domex but none of it worked. Some say use Steam Cleaning Machine but I can't afford to buy one. any tips

Tiles have mineral deposits so aside from mechanically scraping using paint scraper, grout needs to be cleaned. Vinegar wont do the trick so im trying this industrial grade hydrogen chloride.

Maglilinis ka din ng C.R. ngayon bro?

I think it's easier to re-grout na lang?

Try using a steel brush or something more abrasive?

This agree with kung malala talaga. Then have the bathroom cleaned regularly so the molds don't build up. In my case i clean the bathroom once a week.

Agree, you need a good brush to work on those tight spaces. Dremel works best on those grout.

HCl softened the mineral deposits took me less time to scrape. I also tried lye or sosa-those powder being retailed at aircon shops. It works too, medyo delikado lang parang malulusaw ang water jug sa init. You need to wait for the chemical to react if you dont wanna brush much.

We chanced upon one of the malls here in the Metro,- they paint it...

I always use oxalic plus muriatic acid in cleaning our floor tiles. It's really effective. We always use it in our bathroom.

How about pressure cleaners? They do the trick quickly.

We use Tilex to clean tiles. They also have a pen for stubborn grout stains.

How satisfying to watch this. Problem with pressure washers is most of the time you dont use them at naka stock lang sa bodega

1 trick I use is to do black grout outdoors. No cleaning needed.

For indoor areas you can't do pressure washing, Tilex & Clorox are potent chlorine based cleaners. Spray & let it stay.... watch molds & mildew go away. Not fond of corrisive acid solutions. They can ruin metals, wood & finishes.

I borrowed and tried to use pressure washer​ indoors, the noise it made was like inside the engine room. I'm used to this kind of noise but I won't do it again. I don't see him use it so I wonder why he bought it.

By the way, this pressure washer is good in cleaning small aircon units. Just make sure to use the low pressure setting, you don't want to damage the fins of your evaporator and condenser.

which product did you use to repair it? (reputable brand sana na available sa shops/malls)

The usual kind of grout are cement based like mga ABC. YUn yung mga nagpupulbos & discolor. I wolud suggest to get eopxy based, they're more expensive since they would last longer.

Mix your grout with this instead of water.
