Effortless Grout Cleaning with Borax: Before and After

1. Prepare the Cleaning Solution

In a small bowl, combine Borax with lemon juice (or vinegar) and warm water. Stir until dissolved to create a paste.

2. Apply to Grout

Spread the paste over grout lines, focusing on areas with visible stains or discoloration.

3. Let It Sit

Allow the solution to sit for 10–15 minutes. This gives Borax time to break down dirt, grime, and mildew.

4. Scrub Gently

Use an old toothbrush or grout brush to scrub along the lines. Circular motions help lift embedded dirt without damaging the tile.

5. Rinse and Wipe
