Unfortunately, cleaning and stains are part of life; especially for moms out there.  Don’t you just wish you can take a garden hose and just hose the house down!  I don’t know about you guys, but I feel this way most of the times!

Cleaning tile grout is never fun, time consuming, and never-ever easy.  I have white tiles followed by white grout in my house, and between the kids and the animals in the house it is a full time job to keep it sparkly white.

I researched if getting steam cleaner like Shark Steam-In-A-Bottle for $25 is a great investment to make, but after reading through many customer reviews online I thought it might be just a waste of money. 
Unfortunately, there’s never an easy way out – “if it is too good to be true, than it is.”  So, I went back online to find a good old fashion way to clean it. 

I came across this recipe online, Diynetwork website, and trust me it works.  Yes, it is really messy and requires scrubbing and rinsing on your part, but the end result is beautiful.  Not only it is economical to make your own cleaning solutions, compared to the cleaners you buy at the store, but you probably have these ingredients in your house already! 

For instance, Lowe’s sell Magic spray gel for $5.98 a bottle, but if you have lots of tiles in your house you would probably need at least two bottles to fully saturate all of the area.  I have never used this product, but it probably has heavy chemical scent; which is not good for the environment or your health. 

For people with asthmas or related breathing problems are triggered by heavy chemical scents, and it is not wise to expose children to these harmful chemicals/scents either.  I have a terrible asthma, and I took an initiative to avoid toxic house cleaning products; which means non-toxic living for my family. 

Thank goodness to consumer’s awareness to live healthier and more eco-friendly many of the non-toxic products are readily available online and in stores.

I cleaned my grout couple of months ago, and finalized my master-piece with the grout sealant.  To this day I just cannot believe how bright it is, and any time I have guests over they ask me how I keep my kitchen floor so clean and white.  Boy, I feel so good!
