Cleaning Grout With Household Items

Toothpaste makes a great cleaner for scrubbing grout. Apply a little non-gel toothpaste and let sit for a few minutes. Scrub with an old toothbrush. A baking soda and water paste will also clean grout. Mix baking soda with water until it forms a thick paste then apply it to the stains. Let the paste dry before scrubbing with a toothbrush. Another method is to mix lemon juice with white vinegar. The acid in the mixture will break down stains so they can be scrubbed away.
