The Ultimate Guide to Cleaning Grout

When looking at how to clean grout there are a few tried-and-tested methods that you can easily use to keep your bathroom looking clean:

The Everyday Quick Clean

To maintain regular grout upkeep, use a soft-bristled brush combined with a paste made from two parts bicarbonate of soda and one part water. Apply your paste to the bathroom grout and leave to rest for an hour – this helps lift any dirt or grime. Then finish by scrubbing and rinsing with warm water.

Pro tip: White vinegar can wear away at your grout over time, breaking down the mortar. Stick to gentler cleaning methods such as the ones listed here.

Deep Cleaning Grout with a Steam Cleaner

For a deeper clean, a steam cleaner is game changing. The hot steam can break down stubborn dirt and kill bacteria, making it an effective choice. A steam cleaner that comes with an angled nozzle or brush attachment can further speed up the process and help get into those hard-to-reach grooves. Finish up by wiping down with a microfibre cloth.

What the experts say: Atit Chopra, our Product Development Director at Beldray says: “One of the key benefits of steam cleaning is its ability to sanitise without the use of harsh chemicals. It's ideal for loosening dirt and leaving surfaces gleaming”.

The Secret to Long-Lasting Clean Grout

Once your grout is clean, using a window vacuum can help keep excess moisture at bay. This prevents any mould from forming in the first place. Simply glide the squeegee head of the vac over your tiles after showers to keep your bathroom looking spotless.

 

How to Clean Your Shower Head

Over time limescale and grime can clog your shower head, reducing water pressure and leaving unsightly stains. Thankfully, cleaning it is easier than you think!

The Quick Clean Method

As simple as it sounds, for regular maintenance simply wipe your shower head with a damp cloth and a bit of mild dish soap. This can help to remove surface grime and prevent build-up before it becomes a bigger issue.

The Deep Clean: Removing Limescale from Your Shower Head

1. Detach (if possible): If your shower head is detachable, take it off to allow for a more effective clean.
2. Soak in white vinegar: Fill a bowl with equal parts white vinegar and warm water then submerge your showerhead for 30 minutes. This can help to dissolve mineral deposits and stubborn limescale.
3. Scrub, scrub, scrub! Use a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub away any remaining build-up!
4. Rinse thoroughly: Run warm water through the shower head to flush out any loosened debris.

Pro tip: If your shower head is not detachable, fill a plastic bag with the solution stated above and tie it around the shower head with an elastic band.
