How to clean grout from old tiling indoors?

[sjejani]

Hi team,

Our house we bought recently is 95s built. The tiles grout has turned black due to usage. How can I clean it up without killing my back by scrubing it manually.

Hi @sjejani,

For cleaning the grout, you can use a cleaning compound such as this Davco 1L Tile And Grout Cleaner.

To save your back, you might like to consider a Ryobi 18V ONE+ Telescopic Pole Scrubber. The long adjustable handle lets you clean without kneeling or bending, which definitely helps when you are covering a big area. With the powered scrubbing head doing the hard work, it will make lifting dirt from grout lines easier than scrubbing by hand. It is simple to guide along each tile line and makes the job less tiring.

Alternatively, you could use this DTA Long Handled Grout Scrubbing Brush, which provides the same reach advantage, but would still require manual scrubbing.

Let me know what you think.
