The different types of grout & tile cleaning procedures

Before calling any cheap tile and grout cleaning Melbourne Company, try to clean the tiles using white vinegar-

Mix water and vinegar with a ratio of 2:1 and add some drops of dish washer and sprinkle the solution on the grout and leave it for 15 minutes to half an hour. Take a wet sponge or cloth and spray a little bit of baking soda to soften the grout with the acidity of the vinegar. Then wash it away with clean water.

The only problem is, this cannot be applied on the marble, limestone or other alkaline stone and travertine as they may react with the acid.

You can do this process in a little different way. Fill up the 1/3 portion of a bucket with lukewarm water and add 1/4 cup of white vinegar, 1/3 cup of ammonia and 1/2 cup of baking soda. Pour the mixture into a spray bottle and sprinkle over the grout and let it get settled and after a couple of minutes, start scrubbing with a big brush and rub the nooks with an old toothbrush. Wash it with water.
