How to Clean Tile and Grout the Right Way

Dingy grout makes a whole room look dirty. Here's how to get tile and grout genuinely clean — and keep it that way.

How to Clean Tile and Grout the Right Way

Nothing dates a clean room faster than dark, dingy grout. Here's how to bring tile and grout back to life.

The method

  1. Sweep or vacuum loose dirt
  2. Apply a grout-safe cleaner and let it dwell
  3. Scrub grout lines with a stiff brush
  4. Mop the tile
  5. Rinse and dry

For stubborn grout

A dedicated grout cleaner and a focused brush beat buildup that a mop never will. Work in small sections for the best results.

Keep it clean longer

Seal grout once it's clean, wipe spills quickly, and add regular tile mopping to your routine so grime never has a chance to set in.
