Looking for An EasierGreen Way to Clean Grout

[Guest guest]

I know this subject isn't directly related to vegetarianism but . . .

 

After staying up late last night cleaning the grout on my shower floors and

walls with a toothbrush and dish detergent, I realized that there must be an

easier, green method for cleaning it that people in this might use.

 

Thanks for any tips!

This is what we use for most cleaning (initially used as part of my daughter's

6th grade science fair project). It is cheap (my favorite) and non-toxic.

1/4 cup white vinegar

3/4 cup warm tap water

1 tablespoon baking soda

10 drops of tea tree oil (antibacterial, antifungal, etc.)

2 drops oil of lavender (optional) (antiseptic and smells nice)For extra

scrubbing, I make a paste with salt, baking soda and vinegar. I still use an old

toothbrush to clean the bathroom...

For scrubbing, I use ACV (apple cider vinegar) and baking soda. For

straight cleaning/scrubbing I make a paste out of baking soda and

water, and leave it on, and then scrub (good for oven spills, too, I

let it sit and then pour the vinegar onto it to foam and usually it

gets everything) When I don't have the ACV I use white vinegar. I also

add Tea tree oil, lavender oil and sometimes (to cut grease more) I'll

put in sweet orange oil too.

 

I use it for cleaning my floors, scrubbing the stove, the tub and the

commode. I also use an old toothbrush for getting in tight areas.
