The Best Way to Clean Tile and Grout (The Mexican Way)

📖 Get La Casa Limpia — every method for the whole house, written down: https://berthacleans.com Look at your tile. The tile itself is fine, shiny, almost new. But the lines between are gray, or brown, or black in the corners. And you have quietly started to believe that your grout just came that color. Mija, it was white. I promise you it was white. And here is why it has beaten you for so long: tile has a glaze on it, a hard glassy skin that dirt cannot enter. Grout is cement. Under a glass it looks like a dry sponge, and it drinks in every bit of soap and body oil that runs across it. So the dirt is not on your grout, it is INSIDE it. You were cleaning a sponge with a surface cleaner, and nobody ever told you the difference. In this video: • Why the tile stays clean and only the LINES go dark (glaze vs. sponge) • Level 1, everyday: a teaspoon of dish soap in warm water, because body oil is grease and grease needs a degreaser. The ONLY one safe on natural stone like marble • Level 2: the peroxide and baking soda paste, mixed like runny toothpaste, worked into the lines with a NYLON brush (never wire or brass, it strips the glaze forever) • Always rinse baking soda TWICE or it dries into a white haze • WET GROUT LIES TO YOU. It looks dark and filthy even when perfectly clean. Do the work once, then walk away and let it dry before you judge it • Level 3: the strong grout restorers, and how to use them without ruining your clothes or your stone • The 3 safety rules: ventilate, NEVER mix products, and please never use the toilet bowl cleaner hack (it stains grout permanently, I have heard of white grout turned blue) • The honest truth about black caulk: sometimes the mold is living behind it and the real answer is to cut it out and re-caulk • THE SECRET NOBODY SELLS YOU: you can SEAL grout. About fifteen dollars, one afternoon, and it closes the sponge so dirt cannot get in for years Tell me in the comments what color your grout turned out to be once it dried, because some of you are about to find out you have white grout and have never once seen it. And tell me your county and how old your tile. I read every one.
