Clean grout can be the difference between tiles looking icky or sparkling.

Tucked between shower and floor tiles, grout can be a magnet for dirt, grime, and bacteria. The filler can be prone to discolouration from bacteria and mould growth.

Luckily, keeping it looking fresh is simple and affordable. Plus, you likely already have these cleaning ingredients in your home.

Here’s the easiest way to clean grout.

How to clean grout
