3 Top Secret Tips For Cleaning With White Vinegar.

Before we renovated it, our kitchen had large white tiles, with joints really clogged.

After moving in, we spent hours and hours scrubbing the grout with an expensive chemical specially made for tile grout.

But now that our kitchen has been renovated, only a small section of the floor remains with that old tile...

Except that now cleaning tile joints is easy like everything, thanks to this trick.

How to

1. Sprinkle some baking soda on the tile joints.

2. Use your index finger to spread the baking soda well, so that it covers the entire surface of the joints and to remove the excess powder.

3. Pour the white vinegar into a spray bottle.

4. Spray the vinegar liberally over the baking soda.

5. There is a chemical reaction (WITHOUT any danger) between baking soda and white vinegar. And it is this reaction that will do all the work for you .

Let the bubbles scrub and remove dirt for a few minutes. But don't wait too long, otherwise the dirt can settle on your joints again.

6. Using a brush to clean the tile joints, lightly scrub the joints to remove the diluted dirt.

Be careful, the liquid will be particularly dirty! So, prepare a small basin of hot water to soak the scrub brush from time to time. But don't add too much water either, otherwise you risk spreading the dirt on your tiles.

The blacker and dirtier the liquid, the less hard you will have to scrub your tile joints.
